I don't think so! You even fixed the date in yer camera! It's so nice to see you posting pics of your plants! They look so healthy. The wasps are the first I've seen--did not even know they existed til now. Do they grow large? I like Versache and Channel # 5---My mother always wore Channel #5.
Jim, you are killing me with these awesome Russian streps!!!
Gorgeous blooms Jim!!!
Thanks Hillbilly and Gail,you know when you get ready to start more things in the fall,there could be abox with your name on it

JIM
I knew you would and I will send you a box, too..............but hold up on mine......................thanks so much.......let me know if you want yours in the next two weeks...................
Thanks for the heads up on fish emulsion, Gran.........will have to go easy this time. Last time I didn't read the instructions and burned every last strep I had (LOL).........they have fully recovered now........
Great pictures Jim!! Orange Julep is a sweetie.

i love trailers
I am starting to like trailers again, too . . . I think that Tiny Wood Trail almost set me against them. I've got 3 semi-mini trailers that are (to me!) looking almost perfect . . . will take a few pictures here in a bit.
I don't know which thread it was that there was talk of LLG cutting back on business . . . but . . . I went to Boerne today, and Ken said that it had been a hard season for LLG due to high oil/heating costs, and they had considered relocating . . . but I doubt they will.
it will be sad if we lose anymore greenhouses
and vendors
Good,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,get on closer to Texas, Paul Sorano!!!
I don't want them to close. Glad you got the scoop from Ken, Nichole.........
I have those trailers, Jim and love them.................but have a lot of babies growing, too (other trailers)
Nichole-- you need to try Little Chippery trail--tiny & tough--I can send you a start this fall if you remind me.
I figured I'd ask him, since he seems to know Paul S. so well . . . I doubt he'd move all the way to Texas, though . . . he'd be exchanging a high heating bill for a high cooling bill!
I checked my trays just now, H_G - I don't have Little Chippery Trail. I think I'll go use my journal for the first time this year, so I can start keeping track of Fall trades!!!
Jim, where have you been hiding your camera all this time? The pictures of your plants are awesome.Thanks!
Welcome back HG.Nice to see you posting ^_^
I have some mini's in bloom, and alot more in bud. Here are Opt Rose Quartz (bottom) and Rob's Match Point
This is Green Dragon - maybe a semimini? Really pretty.
Fancy Trail...this one I got as a crown about 6 weeks ago...sorry about the lousy pics, I can never get both the blooms and the foliage in focus at the same time
and last, little Mini Minx, so cute! Plenty more should be opening in the next day or two. These were all little baby plants gifted to me, so I am really excited to see them bloom so fast. I am used to waiting long long loooong years for hoyas to bloom! I think the little violets like my new shop lights. Sadly, though, I am losing variegation. Too warm I think.
jmp24 - you're right, it is a semi-mini.
Green Dragon (9119) 04/20/2002 (J. Brownlie) Semidouble-double white star/green edge. Variegated green and white, plain, pointed. Semiminiature
I received a few leaves of Green Dragon recently . . . can't wait for them to start sending up babies!!!
As far as losing variegation, move the variegated plants to the ends of the lights . . . it is said the brighter lights (in the middle) can cause plants to lose variegation. The light is less strong at each end of the lights. I had the same issue recently, and now that the plants are moved to the ends, they are getting variegation back.
What temperature is the room you're keeping your plants in?
love your pics, jmp!!!
I have not seen light being a problem for variegants, but each plant is different. You have to see what every plant wants I guess. Have you all seen how each plant tells you? Interesting how they are so different.
Tah........Dah!! My first avs starting to bloom. These are the minis...............so excited to see some blooms. (Not sure which are semi minis without looking them up)
Cupid's Jewel she is!
