Bishops Flower - White Lace
The Bishops Flower White Lace, 'Ammi majus L. ', has delicate white flowers that will lend a lacy, airy look to your garden. This is your flower if you want the wonderful look of Queen Anne's Lace that is not the noxious weed Dacus carota. The White Lace plant is attractive to butterflies. The very small, pure white flowers appear in loose airy clusters called umbels and are up to 6 inches across. Their bloom period is in the summer. Bishops Flowers prefer full sun but will tolerate some light shade. Ordinary garden soil that is kept evenly moist will do just fine. Deadhead or remove spent flowers to prolong blooming period. Plant 4 to 6 weeks before the average last frost date. Ammi can be grown as a pot or accent plant and is much sought after as a cut flower. ... more information
Pepper - Chile - Scotch Bonnet The Pepper Hot Scotch Bonnet, 'Capsicum chinense', is 10 to 20 ties hotter than a Jalapeno. Scotch Bonnet is a type of Habanero, considered the hottest pepper in the world. Words such as hellish, blistering, and incendiary are used to describe the heat. The Red Scotch Bonnet is sweeter and a little less hot than a Habanero. They are great in salsa. The question is, "Are you man or woman enough to grow and eat this variety?" Transplant outside in the spring 3 to 4 weeks after last frost date. Note: To get a jump on the season transplant outside, use a walls-of-water or some black plastic to maintain and increase temperatures. Harvest when 1 inch long or longer. Use gloves and do not touch any other part of the body after harvesting.
