It has buds................ I just had to move it to the dead center of my hoop house for it is touching the ceiling............. and still trying to grow. I see in the picture I knocked a bud off in the move........ more like a dragging and grunting! I bought this as a 4 inch pot in a nursery last summer.......... it is now a tall beanpole with tons of side shoots.

The leaves are not fuzzy at all..........
As soon as you find out Kell, let me know - I have 2 of them. They came as seeds from El Cerrito. Shiny, very dark green leaves. I noticed this one on your other thread - it's different from the others -
Wow! You sure can grow them out there, huge.
I really like it.
LOL Liz.......from Annie's Annuals? This was started by her. Has yours flowered yet? I am dying to see the bloom.
No - it came from Marjorie Harris in El Cerrito. She sent seeds last year to Rich Sanders from her trees to be used in the sanguinea heat tolerance project. Mine came up looking just like yours. I'll take a picture of the bloom in the morning.
You should like it Dennis - I gave you some. LOL
Liz my cutting is still green, but looks aweful! I think I should have kept rooting it like you were, I put it into soil too fast. But it still didn't die, I am greatful for that.
Your's is blooming? GREAT! I was wondering about it because it has quite irregular sang leaves, no fuzz.
Another thing about this particular one - it wants to grow as a tree, not a many stemmed shrub. And doesn't ramble like the others.
Sorry it took so long - had computer problems. (still have computer problems)
Fantastic! Beautiful view, also.
WOW Liz....... i bet mine is yours. for mine also gorws straight up......well doe shave a girlish figure do to improper staking! Is that more red than orange? Now I can't wait! I wonder where they came from originally. I got mine at a little nursery in Berkeley for $4.95 in a 4 inch pot. There were about 10, all about 5 inches tall, looking identical. Short and fat stems. I figured from seeds. so if self fertile, the seeds would all come out the same. Oh I remember, I got mine in a little nursery in San Anselmo. It was grown by a wholesaler, Annie Annuals. Then about a month later I found them also at a nursery in Berkeley that had been grown at the Annies Annuals also.
Gorgeous view and sang.
I don't know Kell - in the back of my mind I've always thought that they might have originated from Strybing. But I've got a bunch of different leaved sangs, all are fuzzy except for these.
Thanks Hibiscus - that cloudy day is typical winter here. It's gorgeous today -
Wow it is so pretty. I sure hope the heat tolerant sang seeds I am getting will survive here. I am going to try one in shaded area, patrial shade, full sun, and inside if that many seeds sprout. I will probably plant the one in full sun in the ground. Do you treat these the same as regular brugs as far as watering and fertilizer??
I'm not saying it is heat tolerant - but seems slightly more so. Still a work in progress.
Yes, they get fed and watered the same as the others.
That is nice Liz. Do you notice any difference than the 'wild' sangs?
I love the foliage on this one! Kristi
I'm so jealous. I want a sang to grow and thrive so badly. Just can't seem to do it. How hot do you get in the summer Liz? I've always blamed my failure on the heat, but think it might be that the sun was too hot on them and I should have grown them in total shade during the summer here.
It goes up into the 90s occasionally here. But as a test I pulled all of mine out of the shade last summer and put them in full all day sun. They got it from 5:30am to about 5pm. They didn't suffer at all. But where you have scorching heat I'd try them in all day shade, somewhere where there might be a breeze. Kind of the spot that you'd prefer to sit in on a very hot day.
Any difference how? Dennis
Liz, I was thinking the colour, shape, texture of the flower, size... I was thinking it may have vulcanicola in it somewhere, you don't see any differences in it than regular sangs?
The photo gives it a red colour, and most sangs outside now are a bit washed out.
The leaves are so unique compared to the species, I'm hoping it has other abnormalities?
Liz, I saw the original plant that these seeds came from. The flower is different than on the original plant. I think it must have been crossed by moths or bees. Marjory said it selfed but your flower is a different colour than on her tree. That tree has been in Harland Hands garden for many, many years.
More and more, I can't wait to see what mine looks like! what color was Marjory's Jeanne?
wow that is a pale one! thanks jeanne. I sent you the $$ today for the book........thanks
Jeanne, will that one be red when it warms up?
That looks like it's in the conservatory Dennis
they are beautiful
The one I have is a tree shape too
Shirley,do you want me to send you one of the rooted cutting from mine this spring?
Its from the one you sent me......
I thought they were all either still outside, or in the coldframe (???) under the deck. Jeanne?
CC, I'm going to get more seeds from Liz and try one more time. Thanks anyway unless you have a bunch and want to stick one in with that other plant you are going to send a start of. Can't remember the name of it right now. The invasive one..........
We had a mild fall, the colour may just stick. Wouldn't that be nice.
Shirley,its the plumed poppy......
what is a plumed poppy? Leave it to CC to have a plant that sounds like a fancy chicken. thanks
Thanks CC. Had a brain freeze for a few minutes.
Macleaya (sp)cordata - watch where you put it, it spreads.
thanks Miss Lizzy. I will look that one up!
thats what I told Shirley,reminds me of chinese lanterns the way it spreads......
