Leuchadendron Mar 13, 2012

I really hope my Leucadendron "Jester" makes it. I took it out of the ground with lots of roots and put it in a pot, and it is looking rather sickly.

This is one of my favorite plants to include in a bouquet.

Transplanted my Geum quellyon 'Blazing Sunset' to the front yard. Transplanted my leuchadendron, which I hope survives, into a pot. General rearranging and mulching with compost. Very satisfying.

You can plant your poinsettias outside? That's sweet! I'd love to see photos :)

I recently purchased a new lens to continue my botanical photography. I am testing it out. So far I am impressed with the level of detail I can render.

The flower pattern is like that of a geranium and the leaves look soft. Are they?
