Default Re: My brand new "tropical" planter

Thank you , Tim, the plant outside the planter is a black lace elder (Sambucus Nigra Eva)

It will come out in a month or so, after the bloom, I planted it to screen the compost behind it,
but the compost causes this already fast growing shrub to grow explosively. I just cannot keep it
under control

Tommy, when I bought it it was just "safely" labelled Tropical Plant. It looked like a
philodendron to me, but I cannot be sure. I will later today either post a blow-up of the
original photo or take a new one, and then you can tell me for sure, but meanwhile thanks.
There is nothing between the wandering jew (which I promptly forgot to list) and the
concrete edging.

Thank you, Noah, I have an emotional attachment to mint. I used to collect it from a
pond/swampy place, when and where I grew up, and dry it for tea, but here in this yard, which
also includes the edge of a large pond, I found it extremely invasive. You just leave an inch
long piece of it in the ground, and you have another infestation. I had a devil of a time to
get rid of it.

Best to all,
Olaf
