I planted the 2 shrimp plants (Justicia brandegeana) in a butt ugly pot. May have to move it. Ideally, it will grow high and full enough for the back row and the pot will be hidden.
Very windy tonight. The sky clouded over fairly quickly coming from the west, though the beautiful breeze earlier in the day was coming from the east off the ocean.
Must utilize plants as windscreens. I've found some good spots I think for the rhizome pots. In potting the shrimps, there were a number of heracleifolia, with strong, hairy little leaves coming up, planted 3 6" pots with them--tightly. I have a 3 tier'd cake stand which holds them nicely and situated for morning sun bath. Maybe I'll specialize in growing only a handful of rhizomatous begonias.
Put Irene Nuss in the background next (sheltered by) the bird of paradise and the bamboo. She has big glossy leaves, but no blooming. Sophie Cecile is going to need some attention soon. There are too many dead canes that were cut down to the level of the soil.
