Silk Floss Tree and Lilies







Here is my lovely silk floss tree doing very well, bought it as a cutting at a plant sale. It's a cool tree, covered in spikes and will eventually have beautiful flowers. Underneath it, I planted some generic pink tiger lily bulbs from walmart, as well as freesia and amaryllis bulbs, and lots of wandering jew.

Silk Floss Tree


Another new acquisition from the fall plant sale at Mount's Botanical Garden for $20. Looks pretty scraggly right now. Mount's has a huge one with lots of spikes and beautiful pink flowers, what's not to like about it? I hear it is easy to propagate, they said they just cut off a branch and stuck it in the ground.
