Huh. The grancy graybeards I've seen around here have been much "fuller" in terms of flowers.

Greetings and salutations! :D

Okay, okay. I'll just be patient then. (Ha!)

Mine have been outside for weeks. But I really don't like peppers, so I don't care if they do well or not. lol

Are you offering? :)

Not anymore, no. My grandmother tossed her mint a couple of years ago. :( I will run across some eventually.

I've tried to find some mint plants (plain, old, regular mint) to go in a pot and despite weeks of checking the usual sources, I can't find any. I even lucked up and met the nursery delivery truck at Wally World yesterday and even he complained about not having/getting any this year. I can't...

I think those babies are looking for light.

Well, that's part of the reason that I'm trying so many different varieties this year - to see what works well and what doesn't. I only have a couple of each. I am fully expecting to have some duds. And some that do well. Next year, we'll weed out the underachievers. I think my inlaws are...

I think I'd be inclined to take off the rest of the paint (a pressure washer maybe?) But... Why don't you ask her what she wants you to do with them? I'm sure she hates not being able to care for them anymore and would love to still be a "participant", in some sense.

I find myself being fond of any weed that blooms. lol

My mama's hummingbirds - surprisingly - have been back for weeks now. Every flower in her flowerbeds this year is red - for them. She's a hummingbird nut. :)

I bought clear plastic cups (16 oz.) to transplant into. (99 cents for 25 @ Wally World) Poked holes in the bottoms for drainage and labeled the sides with a Sharpie. With the clear plastic, I can keep an eye on the root growth. It's working GREAT so far. And they'll be reusable.

I keep telling myself I'm going to start my excess heirloom tomato seeds and sell them. But I don't. lol Until I know these varieties do well in our area, I'm scared to sell them. I'd hate for someone who paid money to have something that bombs.

Oh man! Is that gorgeous or what?!?! *swoon* That is such a beautiful spot.

I can honestly say that I have never seen any of these where we live. They are awfully pretty. I hope this one will stay alive on the porch in a pot. It doesn't stand a chance in the garden. I have made a HUGE deal about how thoughtful and considerate it was for him to bring it home in hopes...

Look how pretty! :D

^what she said^

This sure sounds like a good fit: Zephyranthes atamasca, commonly known as the Atamasco Lily or more generally a Rain Lily, is native to the southeastern United States. It grows in swampy forests and coastal prairies, preferring acid boggy soils rich with leaf mold. Following the appearance of...

... and in a rare moment of thoughtfulness, he dug it up, brought it back to the house and planted it for me. :) Obviously, it's some sort of lily, but I don't think I've ever seen one quite like it - certainly not growing wild. And he said it was the only one back there. I should have...
