Hi All,
Debra, I have the White Sky Vine ( Thunbergia grandiflora alba) rooted for both you and Rita. Just waiting for them to grow a bit and I'm sure they are well established before I send. It can be a bit more persnickety than it's blue sister. The one you mention in the pot above with your ROS doesn't look like Thunbergia. It looks like a Shrimp plant to me, maybe the Pink or White? or Red or Fruit Cocktail ? LOL...I've got I think 5 different kinds. May have to wait till it blooms to see. I did send you some of the Bow Tie vine cuttings, how did they do for you ? Oh the little caudex you sent me is getting a leaf ! It's under the grow light's and keeping it on the dry side like you said. Oh I know everything will be fine it spring, it's just that so much is "winter blooming" like the Blue Eranthemum Sage. I'll post a pic from last year. I didn't get a good look at the Ti Plants yesterday that are in the ground, they are back under the tree's and some things that had a lot of tree cover did a bit better. I'll try to check today. Had two horses go out and probably another coming in Friday or Saturday for 3 weeks. A little Welsh Pony Stallion that I'll work with while his owners go back to Canada for the holidays. I had said I "wasn't " going to take horses in training this winter, but I've worked with this little guy and his owner alot and he's a blast. Burrr, Canada, too cold for me. We are supposed to have a warm up and then cool down again. This is the time of year when I threaten to move further south !
