Plum Crazy

Don your picture on July 14th at 4:41 AM looks just like my Plum Crazy which is a hardy. I got it last year as a new plant and left it in the GH all winter, then set it out in its pot until it had a lot of new growth and then planted it out about a month ago. It hasn't bloomed yet but there are buds on it. After it does bloom I will submit a photo of it, I sure hope it looks like yours, the bloom is so pretty. All my hardys this year are going crazy with all the rain we have had. I have around 15 out in my yard and I pick around 10 to 15 spend blooms off every day, then there are a few of them that is starting to slow down, and then some that are just coming on.

Hey Linda,thats tropicanna's plum crazy,isn't it just gorgeous???
If yours blooms,and you get any seeds,keep me in mind,I'd love to have that one.
Thanks
Don

If I get some seeds I will put your name on them.

BTW seeds didn't work out.

Yeah, I tried to take a cutting...we'll see how that goes...if I haven't already killed it..lol

Thanks Linda,
CoreHHI,you mean the seeds didn't germinate,you didn't get seeds???
Or they were true to the plant?
Don

Didn't get seeds.

You think because,maybe hybrid,or just wasn't pollinated???

Might not have been pollinated but I have one odd looking hybrid that gets very few seeds for some reason. This year I haven't seen a seed on it. Don't know why but some of my hardies seed like crazy some don't.

Do you normally,have lots of bees?

If I don't get any seeds, when it is time to cut it back I will send you a cutting, all I have is just one stalk of it which is about 3 ft. tall.

Usually a lot of bees but I noticed this year there aren't many around. In a normal year my mexican heather is loaded with them but I have been seeing very few this year.

Thanks 2!
Same here too,not as many bees,but seems to be more wasps than usual.
