Clayton, that is a great looking plant....do you have any seeds? I will trade if I have something you want.
I have a couple of pods right now on the plant, but they are not ready yet. I will let you know when they are ready.
OK thanks, what are you looking for?
Wow Clayton! Thanks for sending me here.
Your plants are beautiful.
I am not real picky I like trying new and different plants.
Hiya ClaytonDT!
That bromeliad in pic#3 is a real beauty!

Thanks Clayton for showing what my Pride of Barbados will look like if the darn thing ever blooms. Had it two years now and nothing. :( It gets about six feet and then just stands there. I read the hyperlink and perhaps it isn't getting enough sun. Will cut back when it goes in the GH and put in a sunnier spot next spring. Great pictures by the way. I love our weather too. I think I have more things blooming now than I've had all summer. Pam
Great pictures Clayton. Wish I lived in your neck of the woods and could have plants outside longer.
Hey Catlady, you said you were going to cut your back. They are said to be easy to grow from cutting of semi hardwood at the end of summer or hardwood in the winter. Just get a leafless stick, and stick it into the ground or a pot, leaving only little outside. water them very lightly, maybe once a month so that they don't become bone dry. the soil should be barely moist. Then in the spring they should sprout new buds.
Beautiful photos, Clayton :0) Can't believe that Castor!! - LOL! What is picture #5? I love that blue color.
Sue it is a Duranta I haven't been able to find out which kind. All the ones i have looked up have all been just a solid color of that color without the white.
Well it sure is purdy with the white edges. Wish I could be a bee in your garden! It looks great. I hope the cold weather stays away for you so you can enjoy it longer.
Sue, it Is making some little berries on it right now. I will send you some with the Datura seeds. So you will end up with Datura and Duranta , don't get the name mixed up.
Holy smokes!!!!!I think we have a winner!!!!
Thanks for the info Clayton. This thing is about six feet tall. Can I cut it into more than one piece to try and root? Maybe it just needs a little company before it will bloom. LOL
Clayton, Logee's has a duranta with a white edge called Geisha Girl. It looks more purple than yours, but it could be climate or acidity differences. Your plants look great!
Catlady, I grew pink & yellow pride of barbados from seed this year, and got flowers on one of the yellow ones. It's about 3 feet tall & in a one gallon pot. Mine got full morning sun & some (but not total) shade in the afternoon.
Hey Catlady, I do see any harm in trying to cut it into more than one piece. It still should work.
Ronna, thank for the information. I looked it up and I believe you are right about it being Geisha Girl. I saw it on some other site as well, and they did vary from blue to purple but they all still called it Geisha Girl.
Ronna, I think mine must have put all it's energy into growing tall. Do you think the pot size could have had anything to do with it? Mine is in a five gallon pot, maybe I need to size down.
I'm going to try at least three cuts Clayton. If nothing else, at least the top piece should take.
