Jen, I put all my stuff out, anthiurium, orchids, bougainvillaea, gardenias, hybiscus. Today I am planting all the cuttings I took two days ago of the yellow, white and orange christmas cactus. Did you know the Easter Cactus is also called the Spring Cactus and it is very different than what some people say they actually have. Hmmmmm. I called Hirt yesterday because they sent me three Easter Cactus and none were marked as to what color they are. My answer from them was, "when they bloom, look it up on our website and you will see." Not only that, but they do not say they are patented. God know is the ones I am selling now that I got from them are patented. That is all I would need. Anyhow, I got annoyed and called the what I thought was the grower in Canada. Seems they get them from Denmark. And, they are patented. I just spent money for nothing. I wanted to propagate them and sell them. I wonder if a plant patent in Denmark or Canada is good in the USA?
Hello Katie, glad you are better. Now, stay that way. My back is killing me and I am not sure if it is from the Crestor or arthritis. Or from being on the tractor mower for two hours on Thursday. LOL
Hello Amanda....I am the only one who is normal on this list and you must remember that anything said here, stays here. We are a very nice group of individuals who get off subject frequently but when it comes to propagation there is not much we do not know or have not tried and failed and are willing to share our information.
We are also very knowledgeable about aches and pains and the problems with aging. Those we share also. If you are a very serious person who does not like to giggle and tease, then I suggest you just forget about this forum. I personally think you should stay and learn what you can. We are good. We propagate almost anything that grows, including tropicals. houseplants, garden flowers of all kinds, shrubs and these people can start seeds from anything. I must confess, I get naughty sometimes and say bad words.
I was writing the last paragraph when something went crazy and it was completely lost. If a paragraph turns up somewhere and makes no sense, it was me. It had to do with the location of most of you being in the west and Ibartoo and me being on the East coast. I also said Dave was our fearless leader and RJ a gentleman who flies in and out here and there. Otherwise just chit chat.
I am sending a picture of a solar plant that I think we all should say to H with the live ones and get these. Have you seen them? The more light they get the more they move back and forth like a clock ticking. They are adorable and I think I will sell them instead of live plants. No bugs, no fertilizer, no dirty finger nails...........just a little plastic flower. They are sold at Dollar Stores for $1. I love it. Then it does not take much to make me smile.
Love and hugs. I am off to the International Jumping competition before it rains. I hate watching those cross country events when it is slippery. I have seen horses and rider really injured badly.
