Amanda needs help with advice in BOP's.. she is on tropicmans thread Migrating Brid.. if anyone can help her..

I have never grown a BOP, and it took Don 18 years to see his whote one bloom, so I KNOW I am not up to waiting that long for one LOL
someone told me to leave the fig tree out ntil it gets frost bitten.. so far after two nights of below freezing, it is still fresh and perky.. I don't get it.

spread some lilac cuttings and some ROS branches around against the house to see if they will Root. Had to move the Goji berry shrub. it was happy where it was at, but in the way. *sigh*
Need some tropical pictures here, all the hibs are blooming, they are kinda boring at this point.. so.. memories of tropical plants in the past..
