I went to the grocery store today and I bought a nice Thyme plant to replace the one that I lost during our most recent winter storm. When I got home, I inspected the container in which I grow Thyme – planning to repot the new plant. What should I see but tiny thyme leaves poking up here and there among what I believed to be totally stems! It looks like I am going to have two plants now.
The Brugmansia which had been reduced to woody, one-foot-tall stalks, is coming back from its roots. The same is true of my umbrella plant growing in a mini- water garden.
The Desert Rose (Kalanchoe thysifolia) is a beautiful succulent that grows well here but does not tolerate hard freezes. I grow them in pots and bring them indoors when needed. I did that before we went to Nebraska during the winter storm that ravaged everything else. Here it is a few weeks after winter’s end.
