Plants I'm a little worried about
Well for one, what happened to this guy? Brown and lavender? I don't remember that. Although it's huge and really pretty cool. You can also see the "Virginia Cup Plant a bit behind -- it's behind the lavender, which I had to totally chop back because it was mighty woody and scraggly. But that's going to be a success. And then there's also the Viburnum. I got it at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden sale three weeks ago, and still haven't repotted. And it definitely likes more water than it's been getting from rain. We got a mighty cool planter for it, and hopefully it will be happier now. But now we have to get it back up the stoop. Uh, hello heavy. Last but not least, the verdant jungle of the "Bionic bed". Echinacea and Joe Pye Weed are taking over -- I planted a "mullein" plant, also from the BBG, to break it up a bit. I think it might drown. I'm not sure how happy it is. That's him, the sort of peach/pink spiky thing towards the left in the sea of green. Meanwhile, liatris, and maybe that's the chelome coming back in front of it?
