Gypsies Go, Rain or Snow

Looks like it is time for a new thread....

Oh, that's beautiful!!!

Thanks, Venice. That is crinum americanum, swamp lily.

I don't think I'll tell ages....grin discretion and valor and all that good stuff....grin

Hi Jean!

So that's a close-up of the native. Is it indigenous in your area?

Yes Sir....so much so it often gets treated as a weed. I think it is one of the only running crinums

Nice swap! Very elegant weed

Well, ya know how it goes, One man's weed is another's rose.....grin. Thanks Venice

I don't mind telling my age but you'll never see a picture!!! LOL
Like the lily moon. You have such pretty flowers.

Think its time to goodnight, so I can do it all again tomorrow.
Stay warm and dry and safe everyone.

JJ, night and hope you keep warm!

Pretty cool Jean!

All the "Old World" Crinum's I have are clumpers. Looks like I better check out the difference between Crinum in the Neo-tropics.

I have extras Dave. You are welcome to seed or plant either one....I swap ya for a red one...grin


Night JJs...rest well, drive carefully tomorrow.

Moon, that would be a really good deal! For you!!

Night and sweet dreams!

Yep! Grin. G'Night Venice, rest well. Catch ya tomorrow.

That whole pink thing must be one blossom. Is it one blossom per plant?

Does it have seeds?

That is somewhere around 20 or so blooms on a single stalk.

Hey Jean, I have several types: C. asiaticum, C. asiaticum var. 'Traubii' (the "red one"), C.augustum, & C. x powellii starts I could dig up. They would grow in your area.

Had to look one more time.

Wow Dave even I want one of those!!! But not in the house, do you think it will like snow.LOL

OK off I go with red and white flowers to dream of with sunshine and temps over 40.
I'll be snug as a bug in a rug.
Nite All

ROFLOL,

OMG, You dance about faster then anyone I know!
Still laughing here.

Anyway, Wanted to say hello to you. Been telling my new SIL about ya.

It's going to take a bit to catch up to what you all have been up to.
Missed you, and hope all is well.

see you!

Oh Hey, I am excited to tell you...

Woohooowee! We grew Soil!!! It gorgeous, loose, soft, and sooo beautiful to see.
LOL, there see I knew I could grow something, just giggling with pride for my first compost!

Hope you are all well this night too,
see ya again.

JJ, I know you will have those sweet dreams tonight!

Appreciate that Dave, I have Asiaticum and powellii and somewhere out there C. zeylanicum (milk and wine).

I would love a start of augustum and Traubii and will be happy to share any I have.....

Hey JJ, they could survive as a greenhouse plant in your area. They like to be warm & have lots of water. Naturally, Crinums are wetland plants.

I'll go get some photos of what is here right now.

Seed, congratulations on your new soil!!!! Night! Stay warm up there!

Hey hey, Seed. Good on you....compost is always a good thing to be able to make....grin Sounds like a good visit with your brother and NEW SIL....grin

Well, Moon and Dave, I am heading to bed. Hopefully Kitty will be home soom.

Night and sleep well!

Night Venice....stay warm....Kitty should be in shortly....it is cold out there...grin

ok now i am in love with them criniums

Thank you all!

Hope your kitty returns soon.

Do stay warm my friends, good night.

dance tomorrow.
Thanks Moon.

Hey Imzadi...good to see you. Hope you are feeling better. I can share Crinums with you too if ya want....be a springtime thing to let them get settled in. Unfortunately we don't have the luxury of warm winters that Dave has...


Night Seed...too welcome and good to see ya as always....rest well.

Here is Crinum augustum, showing it's typical falling flower spikes, too heavy to stay upright.

This is the historical "Queen Emma Lily". Nicely scented.

That is just lovely. i would certainly say yes to that one, please.

Gonna have to call it an evening....early day tomorrow. Have a great evening Dave...we'll figure out who and when tomorrow. I truly like the Queen Emma Lily, C agustum....catch ya tomorrow, A hui hou, Aloha, Moon

These are the leaves of Crinum asiaticum 'Traubii'. This plant is given other cultivar names elsewhere.

I'll dig a couple offsets, let them dry, then D-mail you, Jean.

Here is Medinilla scortechinii.

Ozmoxylon linearis, flowers.

More Ti plants!

good morning all! Dave, those are some beautiful plants, wished I lived in the tropics!

everyone have a wonderful day.

Morning smiley and everyone.

What happened to lynnie? Hope everyone at her place is alright.

Talk later all have a nice day.

Good morning all !! Just popped in long enough to wish every one a wonderful day. Catch up with yall later. Hi,Ho-Hi,Ho its off to work I go. Sure would be nice to be independently wealthy. Grin.

Wouldn't it, Dixie??

Coffee break time. Good morning all. Touched base with Lynnie, her FIL had a bit of a set back. Seems he incurred a few more injuries than they were aware of....some broken ribs and bruising....they were at the hospital all weekend and Lynnie stayed with her FIL most of the time. Remember him please in your thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.

Everybody have a great day....workin' like a bunch of bees....grin
