2/26/00. Lunaria is emerging for the spring of 2000. I started with one plant 3 years ago, and self seeding has taken care of the rest.
|
|
3/29/00. Seems there's two of them this year.
|
|
4/6/00. Flower buds are forming in the center of each plant. Growing fast.
|
|
4/6/00. Here's a close-up of Lunaria flower buds.
|
|
4/8/00. First bloom for 2000.
|
|
4/8/00. First fully open bloom close-up.
|
|
4/11/00. This plant is growing really fast. Many more blooms in just 3 days.
|
|
4/15/00. Despite the coolness, rain and cloudy weather of the last 4-5 days, Lunaria has really grown.
|
|
4/23/00. Lunaria beginning to drop petals. See the cute little seed pods?
|
|
5/11/00. Lunaria blossoms just about gone. Seed pods are almost to full size.
|
|
5/14/00. This stem got so heavy with rain that it fell over to the ground.
|
|
5/21/00. Plant stake is just what this needs to keep it upright until the seed pods dry out.
|
|
5/31/00. Here are plants in their first year. These will bloom next year. I failed to let any seeds fall last year, so I didn't have any come up. I had to import some from my mother's. I'll be sure and throw some down this year.
|
|
6/7/00. Here's a close up of the seed pods getting dry.
|
|
6/15/00. One stalk fell over and is drying prematurely.
|
|
7/13/00. Next year's plants look a little stressed, but will be OK, I think.
|
|
8/15/00. Next year's blooming plants look much better.
|
|
10/6/00. Seeds planted in street bed sprouting.
|
|
10/7/00. These seedlings in the front bed sprouted from seeds fallen from this year's dried seed pods.
|
|
