Gardening is like cooking. To improve, you need to be willing to make mistakes and experiment. Also, common names are garbage. Zone 9b, West Sac, CA.

Split them up not too long ago. These two--currently in the front garden--flowered one after another. 17Aug2021 #waterhyacinth #lavender

I gasped when I saw the flowers. So satisfying, especially since this plant was a bedraggled mess when I rescued it. (Swipe for proof!)

After picking up the pepper, I stopped by the side of the road to investigate a random body of water. I spotted this lone, bedraggled #waterhyacinth and fished it out. I'm gonna rehabilitate this guy and make him healthy and beautiful.
