How did you care for the Red Abysian during the winter. Looks great...
I carried it upstairs and potted it up in my room 😯 -
it was in a west window all winter and grew about 6 leaves.
All the leaves on it now are new from spring planting.
This winter it gets stored in the basement with any Bananas big enough.

Jim,
you beat me with rain. I got away with only 2.5" yesterday. 😀
I didn't see standing water in your shots. That's a sign of great soil prep.
Calla lilly: I feel like a broken record, but yet again a plant I have not had luck with. One came back this spring but then died away before it did much.
Gunnera: keep it up! That would be so cool if you could grow one. Way beyond my skill, but I'll admire yours.

Erik if your Calla lily disappeared it could be from snails/slugs-
mine were moving along nicely and then started to disappear-slugs
One of mine came up from the bulb that I must have missed when I dug it up.
I am going to sneak outside as the sun is out,this may be our shot to pop 80
for the 24th day in a row!
BTW
The Gunnera actually has done well in the hot weather(90ish)as
long as I water it everyday-not a problem lately!
