It's June and we have some fruits developing on our haskaps and strawberries; I think something has gotten to our serviceberries and plums though (curculio maybe). And so many more flowers!

Geraniums, Spurge, Lily of the Valley, and tricolor Willow:

Blackberries and Irises:

Rhododendron with a solitary bee:

Some of the weeds have been going haam too; I think I removed about 2 miles of Asiatic Bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus) yesterday just from one garden area.

What's growing on with you all?

Palms are very outside my wheelhouse so I just looked those up and wow! Those flowers are impressive! I'm really happy knowing that you let the pollinators do their thing with it then do your maintenance on it.

What are your plans for the snake plants you've propagated? Adding to your collection, sharing, or some other equally awesome thing?

oh they grow all over the place down here, I just heard somebody say that propagating them was hard so I figured I'd give it a shot. turns out it's really easy so I've got like four of them now, though my backyard has probably 200 ft² of them growing naturally.

I've always fantasized about selling my props to local plant shops, but I never have a plan when I start propagating something. I found out how easy sage was to propagate, bought one plant and now I have a dozen and I don't know what to do with them

I also start and prop way too many plants sometimes without a real plan for all of them... I say just offer them up somewhere! We've posted about them on some of our social media sites, or put up little "plants for sale" flyers at a nearby gas station and our town library. Even if you're not going whole hog and going to market it would be a great way to share your work and maybe swap for some more awesome plants to play with.
