At 3:00 on the second and fourth Thursdays of the month, I host Tea and a Song, an informal gathering for sharing tea, pastries (cookies, pie etc.), and music.
At 6:00 on the last Sunday of the month, I host Soup and a Song, similar to the first but the dinner version with soup, salad, and other tasty things.
The music I perform is a mixture of classical piano music (Mozart, Debussy, Chopin etc), my own piano compositions, cover songs (Joni Mitchell, Patsy Kline, Fleetwood Mac etc.) and my own songs.
If you want to listen to my music before attending one of these events, you can find me on most streaming platforms. Just search for Tara Jones: Baker's Dozen.

Crocosmia is a genus of flowering plants in the iris family (Iridaceae), native to South Africa. They’re known for their striking, arching sprays of bright funnel-shaped flowers in shades of red, orange, and yellow that bloom in mid-to-late summer.
Here are some key points:
🌱 Growth habit: Herbaceous perennials with sword-like, pleated green leaves. They grow from underground corms (like gladiolus).
🌸 Flowers: Appear in succession along arching stems, making them especially graceful in garden borders. Popular varieties include Crocosmia ‘Lucifer’ (fiery red), Crocosmia ‘Emily McKenzie’ (orange with red centers), and Crocosmia ‘George Davison’ (golden yellow).
🌍 Uses: Ornamental in gardens for color and pollinator attraction (especially hummingbirds and butterflies).
☀️ Care: Thrive in full sun with well-drained soil; moderately drought-tolerant once established. Hardy in USDA zones 5–9, though in colder areas they may need mulching or lifting/storing corms over winter.
🌿 Spreading: Can naturalize and spread by corm offsets; in some regions, they can become invasive if not managed.
Would you like me to create a care and propagation guide (step-by-step) for crocosmia, or more of a landscape design guide showing how to use them effectively with other plants?

I'd be happy to add you to this list or send you a couple MP3s so you can see if you would be interested in receiving more.

I started this "Group" while serving the community as a Fire Fighter/Medic last July 2022. It was intended to network all of us who have ever enjoined or taken part in this community at any time in our lives or those who hope to go in the future. It is still a magical place. I have started "Pay It Forward" effort for Coffee and other things people might forget to bring out there while enjoining the area. Please join and share your gifts and experience.
