Here are the last three blooms of the season

Paradise, Wild Acclaim, Wild Plum.

Almost finished trimming plants, repotting etc. Soon just be a case of water, fertilizer and wait until next blooming season. Some scale appearing but treatable.

New Greenhouse almost complete, storm damage to greenhouse cleaned up. Lost one third of a greenhouse but not the bench so that will be outside growing area. Will not rebuild. New greenhouse is big enough (for now).

Gutter pots (8ft lengths of plastic gutter) work well for cuttings. Get 50 cuttings per length and will move to pots when good growth starts. Probably fill three lengths this year as an experiment.

In review it was a good season. Thank you to all who exchanged cuttings and thanks to my wife for being patient with my obsession. Probably won't do much on this forum until next years blooming season.

Will do one more post of new greenhouse interior and gutter pots
(this is like and epi diary)

Aloha.
