Some More Flower Pics

Ventura, United States(Zone 10b)

I thought I would post some more flower pics for everyone to enjoy.

Here is Tahitian Sunset. I would describe the fragrance as soft, mild jasmine.

This was one Carol from Florida Colors brought back from Thailand in 2005. It is called Thai Orange, but it has been determined to be Penang Peach.

This is a cute little flower. It is called "Dwarf Gem" and has a mild sweet fragrance.

This is one of C-Star's Nursery cultivars called "Lady Red." I can't remember the fragrance on this one, but I think it is mild sweet.

Sang Dao is still blooming on an old inflo that started in the spring and is sending out new inflo's from the new branches. Now, that is what I call cool! Thanks, Brad!

This is my "San Pedro du Lac" look-alike. I think it may be "San Pedro du Lac," but I can't say for sure. Whatever it is, I love it!

This one is "Intense Rainbow," which has a mild peachy fragrance.

This is just a common yellow, but I love it! It has a strong, classic scent:

This is "Spidery Yellow" with not much scent at all, but it is a great-looking flower.

More to come soon!

Great pictures!

Thanks Clare, I really like your T.W.

I think its worthy of the plant files.....;-)

Ventura, United States(Zone 10b)

Thanks, Dave! I have a bunch that I have to upload to PlantFiles...like 200 or so! It's hard for me to sit at the computer when the sun is shining so they might have to wait for winter to be uploaded! LOL!

Thanks for the ride!! ;^)

Looking at all of these beautiful pictures makes me very impatient for my sticks to do something. I know I have at least a year to wait if they even survive the rooting stage. You make me drool at such beautiful wonders. Thank you.

Wonderful pics Clare thanks for the smell tibits too..
:)

Those dragon flies sit on top of plumies looking for skeeters..
They will sometimes follow you because you attract skeeters and they will eat them..
When you hear a snap from them or a clicking sound it means they got one..
:)

I have always loved dragon flies; now I love them even more. Thanks Robert!

Clare, your dragon Fly is awesome and all your photos are too.

Leander, TX(Zone 8b)

Did you hear that.....it was me sighing with envy, LOL! Gorgeous pics. Thanks for sharing!!!

Dragonflies eat mosquitoes?! Bring on the dragonflies! Actually, this is the first year I have ever seen them around my house and have seen several in my yard recently. They really are fascinating in their color and patterns on the wings.

Thanks you guys! I have more inflo's about to open, including one seedling! I will post them soon here.

Robert, thanks for the info about the Dragonflies. I did not know that they were waiting for mosquitoes! Very cool! Here is another pic of the dragonfly.

Gorgeous pics, Clare!!! And.....don't ya' just LOVE that Spidery Yellow? It is such a classy flower. I got a huge inflo this year that was stunning and fell in love with this plumie.

Ventura, United States(Zone 10b)

Thanks, Brad! You know, I'm normally a fragrance freak, but it is perfectly okay that this one doesn't have much of one because it is a gorgeous flower and a great bloomer. I knew that I would like it, which is why I bought two from you last year! LOL!

BTW
Speaking of skeeters..
A Bat will eat 6,000 to 7,000 skeeters in a single day..
:)

Do you have any finches (small colorful birds)?
They love skeeters and will eat many of them..
I got 14 different kinds in my backyard and love watching them hopping along the ground snagging the little devils out of the air..

Great shots Clare many thanks!!

'Clonex'
Lopaka highly reccomended it.
Im pleased with how quickly the cutting he sent me rooted.
That was only like 4 or 5 weeks.
Sometimes it takes up to 12 here.

Awesome Mike and it's been 4 weeks and 4 days i think :)
If you had my humic acid she will explode...
You know what buddy i will pour some in a bottle and send it to ya..
It's cost over $100 dollars a bottle so to spend that much for a nutrient you only use for 3 weeks is not a good idea..
I will include full instructions..
You wil need to test the PH of the mixture as this acid will drive the ph levels down real far..
Keep her hot as these nutrients react well with heat..

PS..
PUT HER BACK IN THE SOIL!!!
How dare you expose my girl like that..
hehehe..

Mike you should post this in MPG in my post..

Done ;^)

I think we need to start a whole new thread with "Robert's recipes". I read the whole referenced MPG thread and though it was interesting. Robert, did I understand you correctly; you say you dip the cutting in Clonex, let it dry and dip it again? Interesting!
