I'm growing this for the first time, and it grows like a weed! I just planted it this spring, and it's going to flower in August! Interesting that it folds its leaves up when it gets dry, and unfolds when I water it. I got it for a host plant for butterflies, and I'll report anything I see on it.
I was delighted to see a hummingbird sipping from my Cup Plant flowers yesterday afternoon. Like you, Santino, I really enjoy my cup plants and the variety of pollinators they attract.
Thanks, Santino! I just planted cup plant in my native plant garden. Something (deer?) browsed before I had a chance to spray. Now, it's protected and rallying!
That's awesome. The stalk of the tall one I featured unfortunate broke during quick blasts of rain we had over the weekend. Now it bows with gratitude. :D
Awesome I didn't know it was bacteria that was responsible for the fixing the nitrogen I had no idea so is that the same for legumes? I know beans in general fix nitrates into the soil, so they are part of the Three Sisters. Either way super cool and great video
Thanks Santino! Love these delicate little pink beauties. Do you have the wild berries which I've heard by the name of "wine berries?" On a walk yesterday, I tasted for the first time and they were really good!
Great video, very informative. I believe I was gifted a prickly pear. I hadn't realized it was native to Pennsylvania. I definitely agree about the fiber glass comment.
