Mexicali Rose June 14, 2015

Mexicali Rose is a shade-loving plant.  Big, tropical-looking leaves with a huge flower.  All that sounds great, but unfortunately it is a monster.  It spreads at an alarming rate.  Each stems pulls up pretty easily, but the root system doesn't come with it.  The root system would have to be dug up.  And it is smelly when it is pulled up, really smelly.  The smell lingers on your hands.  I will be arm wrestling this plant for the rest of my life.  Still, it has a certain. lushness to it that I think really adds to the Boardwalk Garden.
