It seems that all my posts have been about birds, birdhouses and ducks lately. But there is plenty happening in the garden as well. The hot, humid weather continues so I try to water the plants, especially those in pots early in the morning. The smaller pots get an extra soaking at night too as they dry out so quickly.
This is a lovely dark leaved plant. I've been getting two blooms per day for the last little while.
I've run out of my liquid fertilizer so I need to make a stop at the store and pick up some more. What is your favourite plant fertilizer to use? Maybe you can influence my purchase.
I've started using fish emulsion and it is wonderful - It's organic and it goes a long way. Wish I'd used it sooner but at least I know for next year!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous color combination, the dark leaves pop the flowers. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteI found a great fertilizer at Kmart (think I heard about it from one of the followers of FF). Love the colors of your flowers and leaves.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda. I have never seen the bloom on the ipomoea. Aren't they cute. A little splash of 20-20-20 once in a while is all I use.
ReplyDeleteI have never had a ornamental sweet potato bloom before. What fun!
ReplyDeleteReally neat, I've never seen one bloom!
ReplyDeletewow - I've never seen it bloom before but it sure does look like morning glory.
ReplyDeletehello!!! this is wonderful! I got mine to bloom about two years ago...they are so pretty against the dark leaves! Thanks for linking in this week Linda...I always love seeing what you have up your way!
ReplyDeleteI use miracle gro.
Love the color of the potato flowers! It finally rained here yesterday. My two little plants were parched and really appreciated it so I can relate!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog, Linda. Just thought I would come over and take a look at your I. batatas. It's a wonderful little plant.
