My issue with those is should something go wrong I might lose all my plants, whereas now in individual pots I can spot and fix issues and maybe only lose 1 plant. I don't think I can handle another big loss right now. I'll have to look up the plants you suggested, I'm not familiar with either. Doesn't like frost might be ok, cannot handle an occasional brief light frost, probably can't do.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11311361025445420853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573109756175117560.post-22475367218066008822015-01-22T17:31:15.042-05:002015-01-22T17:31:15.042-05:00Yes!

Doing a lot of research in my spare time to see what would do well here.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11311361025445420853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573109756175117560.post-13672308909972064772015-01-22T17:11:02.290-05:002015-01-22T17:11:02.290-05:00Well... it's question of keep trying. A garden...Well... it's question of keep trying. A garden say that it just never make... sure it is very nice. If you put some bushes of berries (which require little attention), you will have visits of butterflies and birds that give color to the garden. And under its shadow you can put some more sensitive bulbous plants.

You might try looking at some orchid trees, too. A couple species might grow where you are. Maybe something cool like an Australian tree fern, as well, but those don't like frost.Natch Greyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01904440539293569191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573109756175117560.post-80840142390798305562015-01-21T03:27:46.789-05:002015-01-21T03:27:46.789-05:00Yeah, if I could just grow carnivores in the groun...Yeah, if I could just grow carnivores in the ground here I think I probably would. Seeing as how although that isn't impossible exactly, it would be a bit expensive, unreasonable, and my house might sink into the eventual bog or quicksand I created. So I'm stuck trying things like normal gardeners do to make the yard a little more interesting. The challenge I think is finding things that have some potential to be as interesting to grow as the carnivores are. I'm open to any and all suggestions at this point!Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11311361025445420853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573109756175117560.post-83237297180530469232015-01-21T01:39:12.347-05:002015-01-21T01:39:12.347-05:00Haha, I'm totally the same way!

But then I needed room for more carnivores, so that didn't last long! ;)<br /><br />Good luck with the lillies! That "Blue Wonder" looks like it's going to be awesome!
