>>>
>>> THEY
>>> THEY ARE TOUGH AND COLORFUL PERENNIALS THAT OUR GARDENER
LOVES AND THEY HAVE DIABOLICAL
NAMES AND HE WILL EXPLAIN THE
NAMES AND THE BEAUTIFUL PLANTS.
HE HAS BEEN CHOMPING AT THE BIT
TO TELL US ABOUT THEM.
HAPPY MONDAY.
HAPPY MONDAY. >> HAPPY MONDAY.
>> THESE ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
COLORS.
COLORS.
COLORS. >> I LOVE THEM.
THESE ARE CROCOSMIA . IF YOU GO
HIKING IN SOUTH AFRICA YOU SEE
THESE GROWING ALL OVER THE
PLACE.
PLACE.
PLACE. >>
PLACE. >> WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THE
MONSTROUS NAMES?
MONSTROUS NAMES? >> I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT THIS
MONSTER HERE IS CALLED
DIABLITO.
DIABLITO.
DIABLITO. THIS ONE IS LUCIFER.
DIABLITO IS THE LITTLE BROTHER
BECAUSE HE GETS SO TALL.
THAT IS WHAT THE FLOWERS LOOK
LIKE AND I COUNTED HOW MANY
FLOWERS WAS ON THAT WHEN IT WAS
IN FULL BLOOM.
12,000,000,940.
12,000,000,940. >> THAT MUST HAVE TAKEN YOU,
BUT LOOK AT THIS.
>> IT HAS HUMMINGBIRDS ON IT
EVERY MINUTE.
EVERY MINUTE. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL AND THERE
ARE SOME THEY GET TALL AND SOME
DON'T GET SO TALL.
THIS IS AMBER GLOW.
THEY ARE JUST SUCH A RICH COLOR.
>> THEY GO FROM THIS CRANBERRY
TO A BRIGHT RED.
>> THEN LOOK AT THAT ORANGE.
>> IS THIS ALSO NATIVE TO SOUTH
AFRICA?
AFRICA?
AFRICA? >> YES, AND THESE ARE HYBRID.
MOST OF THEM LOOK A LOT LIKE
THIS GUY.
THIS GUY.
THIS GUY. BUT LOOK AT THIS. STAR OF THE
EAST.
EAST.
EAST. LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THE FLOWER
ON THAT GUY.
NO FRAGRANCE THAT I HAVE EVER
NOTICED.
NOTICED.
NOTICED. >> THAT'S PRETTY.
THE YELLOW ONE, WHAT IS ABOUT
THIS ONE?
THIS ONE?
THIS ONE? >> THIS IS TOM BAKER AND A
REALLY OLD VARIETY.
THEY HAVE NEW YELLOW ONES THAT
ARE REALLY COOL THAT I NOTICED
AT THE NURSERY.
>> THEY MAKE GREAT CUT FLOWERS.
THIS WHAT IS FERN . LOOK AT
THAT COLOR.
THAT COLOR. >> THAT'S GORGEOUS, HOW LONG DO
THEY BLOOM FOR.
>> FOR A PRETTY LONG TIME.
IT DEPENDS ON HOW HOT IT IS AND
I NOTICES GOT GOT QUICKER THAN
NORMAL WHEN IT GOT HOT.
THE LAST A COUPLE OF WEEKS,
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
>> SO WHAT IS YOUR SUGGESTION
FOR PLANTING THESE?
>> THE PROBLEM WITH THIS ONE IS
THAT SHE DID NOT WATER IT
ENOUGH.
ENOUGH.
ENOUGH. THAT IS ONLY REASON IT IS
HAVING PROBLEMS.
HAVING PROBLEMS. >> CAN WE SAVE IT?
>> OH YES, IT WILL COME RIGHT
BACK.
BACK.
BACK. THIS ONE IS SO COOL AND I HAVE
IT IN MY GARDEN.
>> CAN WE PLANET NOW?
>> YES, JUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU
WATER IT AND IT IS NOT A BAD
IDEA TO GIVE IT SOME ORGANIC
ROAST FOOD.
ROAST FOOD. >> THAT WE KEEP UP WITH THE
WATER.
WATER.
WATER. APPARENTLY WE CAN DIVIDE,
>> YOU HAD BETTER LATE THIS
STUFF TO THE SIDE BECAUSE I AM
HOPING I DID NOT BITE OFF MORE
THAN I COULD CHEW.
THIS IS GOING TO BE A CHALLENGE.
>> DO YOU WANT ME TO HELP OR
JUST AND?
JUST AND?
JUST AND? >> I THINK I CAN GET THIS ONE
UP.
UP.
UP. JUST
UP. JUST SO SOME PEOPLE COULD SEE
HOW TALL THESE ARE IN YOUR
GARDEN, AND THIS CAME OUT OF
MARY SIDE OF THE GARDEN.
>> DOES SHE KNOW THAT YOU ARE
DOING THAT?
DOING THAT? >> SHE HAS LOTS OF THEM AND SHE
WILL NEVER NOTICE THEM.
>> YOU ARE IN FOR IT.
YOU HAD BETTER BRING A NICE
LUNCH HOME.
LUNCH HOME. >> IF THIS WAS FALL, YOU CAN
PUT THIS BACK INTO THE GROUND
AND CUT IT OFF AND DIVIDED AND
IT WOULD BE A LOT EASIER.
IF A FRIEND SAID I WOULD LIKE
SOME OF THIS, THEN WHAT YOU
HAVE TO DO IS YOU HAVE TO
DIVIDE IT WHILE IT IS IN FULL
LEAF WITHOUT CUTTING IT BACK.
I THINK THAT WE SHOULD LAY IT
BACK DOWN BECAUSE I DON'T WANT
TO ACCIDENTALLY SHOVEL YOU.
THAT WOULD NOT BE GOOD.
SO ALL THAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS
GET YOUR WONDERFUL TRUSTEE
DIGGING SPADE OUT THERE AND
THIS IS MY FAVORITE TOOL EXCEPT
FOR MY PRUNERS. THIS WOULD BE
STANDING UP AND YOU HAVE TO
KIND OF CUT IN AND THEN VERY
GENTLY, SEE THAT YOU HAVE
STRENGTH.
STRENGTH.
STRENGTH. LOOK AT THAT!
THAT IS THE TRICK.
DID YOU JUST PULL IT OFF AND
THERE YOU GO.
>> YOU PLANET AND IT WILL GROW
LIKE CRAZY.
LIKE CRAZY. THERE IS BULBS IN THEIR -- IN
THEIR, AND SOME OF THESE
ISLANDS ARE BETTER BEHAVED.
>> LET'S SAY YOU GAVE ME THIS
TO TAKE HOME, WHAT IS THE BEST
WAY TO PLANET?
>> PLANTED TO WHERE IT IS JUST
COMING OUT OF THE GROUND.
BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO WATER IT,
AND THAT IS THE KEY.
FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND MAYBE
FOR A WEEK WATER IT EVERY DAY.
IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO AT THIS
TIME OF YEAR.
BUT THEY WILL MAKE IT.
>> IF THEY ARE GROWN IN SOUTH
AFRICA WITH THE WIND, SO WERE
IN THE YARD DO I WANT A LOT OF
SUN?
SUN?
SUN? >>
SUN? >> WELL-DRAINED SOIL WILL HELP
A LOT AND THEY DON'T LIKE
SITTING IN CALAIS.
I KIND:COVERED YOUR NOTES UP.
>> THAT IS GOOD AND WE DON'T
NEED THEM HERE.
SO WHERE DO I FIND THESE?
DO I GO TO ANY NURSERY OR WILL
HAVE TO FIND A SPECIAL NURSERY?
>> I WENT TO SWANSON'S AND I
FOUND ALL OF THESE NICE NEW
VARIETIES THERE.
VARIETIES THERE. >> IF I GO IN THERE AND SAY I
AM LOOKING FOR LUCIFER WILL
THAT BE CONFUSING.
>> THEY WILL EITHER SAY RUN FOR
YOUR LIVES OR,
>> YOU CAN SAY CISCO SENT ME FOR
LUCIFER.
LUCIFER.
LUCIFER. >> YOU MIGHT SAY DIABLITO
BECAUSE IT IS A LITTLE BROTHER
OF LUCIFER AND THEY DON'T GET
SO TALL.
SO TALL.
SO TALL. >> AND YOU STILL SPLIT AT THE
SAME WAY?
SAME WAY?
SAME WAY? >> YES, AND THEY ARE PUTTING UP
NEW ONES IN THERE AND BY THE
END OF NEXT YEAR I BET YOU
COULD GET SOME NEW ONES.
