Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Today I'm starting my elephant ears early in pots and planting cream perfection gladiolus in my grandma's garden! Suburban: Loving these updates of your Grandma-s garden! The trenching/planting in mass method for the glads worked great for us last year as well with no flopping over. And those black elephant ears are gonna be gorgeous! We-re gonna do our mammoth elephant ear again and also try out teacups/coffee cup elephant ears in our tropics garden. Hope it didn-t rain too much on you!

We used to have a Night Blooming Cereus, but it was a type of cactus. So, it sounds different than what your grandma had, but maybe there are other genera of Night Blooming Cereus. I am looking forward to planting gladiolas too. Thanks for the tip about planting them close together, I am going to try that for sure.

Danielle, I grew up as an American Expat kid overseas in the 60s-80s and YES, inpatients grew both in shade AND sunshine all over the place in the countries where we lived. We treated them sorta like dandelions because they would just pop up everywhere randomly - even in sidewalk cracks - full sun! :)

Good timing on planting the elephant ear bulbs. I just planted mine yesterday - I-d saved them from last year, but I hadn-t realized that they need a heat mat.
I always appreciate you developing your Grandma-s garden. I-d love to see a picture of her yard when it was in bloom. Thank you sharing.

I am always so inspired by these videos! I would love to recreate a circular garden in our front yard in memory of my mother's gardens. We used to have a pool in the backyard (12 foot round. My Dad made a wishing well in the middle and laid four paths to it. My mom had lots of flowers in the quadrants.

I had yellow flowers that would unfold at night with leaves just like dandelion, we just called them moonflowers. Thinking some sort of primrose. they open at night and die as the sun comes up, had a tuber like on it, hope this helps find what your looking for, let us know please

I-m trying glads for the first time. And Caladium. Glads are in a big pot outside (I-m Zone6) and I-m trying to kick start the caladium inside. They-ve been under grow lights for about a week with no action. May put on the heat mat-

I'm in zone 7b/a and I noticed the other day that the elephant ears I planted last year in a pot are starting to emerge. I am so grateful for that. What are the orange flowers with the green tops on the stalks? They are beautiful!

Danielle, I plant my - ears in big vessels and place on stones around my above ground pool with containers of grass. It makes a fun tropical feel in this area of my property. In the fall, I remove and store for next year!

I planted up some elephant ears and left them outside. So now I know they need a little more heat and will bring them inside. How often do you water them while they are in the process of waking up to grow?
reply

Ha ha, thanks for showing how to plant the elephant ear. Last year I planted mine upside down. Eventually the beautiful leaves emerged but it took a really long time. Loving the way your gardens are developing.

I have a flower (we call it evening primrose) that looks dandilionish and blooms at night. no scent but it is the absolutely the best to watch open. it is a lovely yellow color and sort of pops open
reply

Love how your grandma still inspires you today! I hope that I can pass on the love of gardening to my granddaughter! Thanks for the tips about gladiolus. I hope to be planting mine soon.
reply

You might be referring to Night Scented Stock plant. I have not seen this one in person but have heard that it has the most amazing scent and blooms only at night.
reply

I swear all I need is that lovely voice to listen to all day, I love the en masse gladiola, and the idea of planting like that to support each other ----
reply

Those elephant ears are so interesting! Do you plan to use any of the leaves for your arrangements. Great tip about planting the glad closer together.
reply

I love your videos so much. I learn so much and they are so classy and dignified and magical. Your garden is one of the prettiest I've ever seen
reply

Could you please share where you bought your elephant ears? Would love to have those black type ones. mine are just regular. thank you.
reply

Thank you for your wonderful videos. I am learning a lot from you. Could your mystery flower Possibly be white evening primrose?
reply

Oh thank you for your videos! I always use them as a signal to plant in my garden. I-m going to pop some in the garden tomorrow.
