No kidding. I was trimming the Woodrose yesterday. I kept pulling, and pulling - it seemed like miles of vine.
Can the experts please tell me their scientific names?
Hello Balaitalisai,
My, what a lovely garden and view!!!! i absolutely love seeing photos of other people's gardens, it alwasy gives me new ideas and encourages me to go work in my own! i haven't seen you post that much, and i just saw that you just signed up recently. i hope to see you post often, we always love to make new friends!! i must tell you, everyone on this thread are wonderful! Just make sure RJ or Tropicbreeze don't make you a tropical fruit salad when you go visit them....

Sorry, you must have no idea what i meant by that! its an old joke we had going about fruit salad....
Hi Westraad !
Nice to meet you in cyberspace. I'm curious about that fruit salad joke you have with the other ladies. :)
I read that you are asking about gerbera daisies. In Tagaytay City, there is a place called The Flower Farm ( owned by a friend) and it produces gerbera daisies for export. You can go to their website ...The Flower Farm...and see the many lovely gerberas they produce. They use Dutch technology in their many greenhouses ( so maybe Dutchlady1can give you tips on how to make your plant bloom.:)
I just happen to have whimsically planted a couple of them in my garden to see if they would thrive without the same technology. Without much ado, they are indeed somehow thriving. Here's a picture of one that has produced a white flower. Now that I know they can bloom in my garden, I intend to plant as many as I can and see what happens!
Hi,
sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Your gerbera looks great!! i discovered recently that its moss that is killing my gerberas, can you believe it! i wish you the best of luck with yours, and i will check out that website.
the joke was we had been talking about birds, including cockatoos. and then somebody started talking about fruit salads on the same thread, and it was either RJ or Tbreeze who then asked if they include the cockatoo in their fruit salad! it was just a joke, and it went on for quite long after that. i mentioned i liked kiwi in my fruit salad, and they thought i meant the bird, Kiwi, while i had actually meant kiwi fruit!! anyway, RJ had been talking about making bat stew, so never trust his cooking.... hahahaha
Oh, and just so you know, not everybody here are ladies, rjuddharrison and me for instance. several others too here are guys!
isaac
LOL, call me lady and I might cook for you!
Ok Lady RJ. Come on up here and cook!! LOL
Hahahaha! You're all so funny! I couldn't help but laugh aloud reading the kiwi bird in a fruit salad. :)
Sorry, if I mistook you all as ladies.. "Master" RJ cooking bat stew?!? Is that for real? I guess that's a male gourmet delight!
OK, I guess I better ID myself too . I am Odette...a lady who has never come across a bat stew recipe in my library of cooking books :)
But speaking of fruit salad, have you tried fresh young shredded coconut meat with 'nata de coco' ( note: this is not a bird!) and pandan gelo? Yummy!
Cheers!
Hi odette, i had guessed you were a lady, but i never mention it, just incase i am wrong! we are glad to have you here with us.
No, Randy doesn't really cook bat stew, it was part of the joke....
but i still wouldn't trust his food! :-)
i haven't heard of coconut in fruit salad before, but it sounds like a good idea! one i definitely need to try.
by the way, i am Isaac, a south African missionary kid living in Mozambique. I am 16 years old.
I was a West African Missionary kid, (Liberia) now 50.................ouch, more bat stew please!
We all know you are still a kid. :-)
