Ah!
Let me know when you start picking out the weeds! Very nice!
Love them!
I lost a few "weedy" plants a few years ago, and realized that it is a no win situation sometimes.
When a plant does overly terrific & grows like mad, propagating in every free spot available... we no longer are as amazed at its beauty, growth & vitality, as it becomes "just a weed"! But when a plant grows poorly & is difficult to propagate, we want it to grow more and it won't, which then is generally unrewarding!
As for me, I have learned the hard way, that when a plant gets so prolific it is "weedy", that is when things are going just right for it & for me! Indeed there is variation among plants and their growth capabilities, which provides good contrast & thus makes me enjoy them all!
So someday if anyone has too much D.Peltata seed (stolonifera and/or other such thrivers'...) feel free to let me know. I am sure I can come up with something in trade. (Talk about weeds, I actually have a dandelion growing in my kitchen currently!) I will have to post a pic of it when it blooms!
In my experience, plants that have older leaves dieing off all over while the new ones form at the growing tips, makes for a sloppy looking plant. I often end up neglecting them until they look a mess and then do a major pruning of old growth. I love when they look clean & new, but it never lasts.
I think that with automating other things, I am wishing I could figure out how to make that job easier too!
Nice plants! Keep them growing!
