I keep checking all of the trimmings I am trying to root everyday now. Some do,some don't.
Tropical Garden # 30
Yes, it's like that. to enhance your success, using an inexpensive rooting hormone and experiment with a very green, and very woody cutting..next time you'll cut to the chase.
What vine do you want? Black eyed susan vine is great performer.
The nice thing about my tree was, I had it decorated around the base with vines and flowers I had trained and artistically designed to look like a ribbon winding around the trunk, with english ivey being the first, gosh, I better go look at those pics again.. I love seeing if I can make a stick grow.. any kind.. here is a stick I broke off someones brush, and now four months later.... there are tiny leaves.. ( too bad I have no clue what it is) IT IS THE ONE IN THE ROUND CLAY POT HIDDEN BY THE MEXICAN PETUNIA oopsie capslock.. u can barely see the little leaves forming
Name this about to be bloom for me...
WOW, keep in touch with this one....it's a winner. Have you seen it bloom before?
Hap
Whatever it is....I want one.

Rj. Looking forward to seeing your Australian Fern Tree on Feb.6, 2010.
Did you get any more blooms on the Pink Magnolia?
scraggly Ti plant
Joeswife, I am impressed with your 32 year old philo, but I don't have a name for it either. I bet that if you post a picture on the Aroid forum, Lari-Ann will help with a name. I have a corn plant that is almost as old, I had to cut the top off when it was in bloom. The fragrance was overwhelming.
I can't help with the second one either, like Hap. said, keep us posted on their progress.
One of the worst odors I have ever smelled. I had one bloom years ago. yuk!
Rita,
Is that musa a Siam Ruby? I bought one on ebay and it looks more like yours than on online catalogs. I'm thinking either the color will get more vibrant as the plant grows, or I've been fooled..
Hey Rita...yes...I just took some photos of the trees this morning and forgot to post them...they have very large blooms on them. I don't see many of that type of magnolia, I see a lighter pink that have smaller and more blooms...
Yes..I'm frantically trying to clean up, rake up...sweep up...! Looking forward to the visit. I have a plant for you to take back to TBL.
I want to go too......
Plant party! I told Brian....RUN!
Skunk cabbage?
robcorreia, the picture of the Siam Ruby and the Micky mouse was taken in the GH, deprived of sunshine. They are one year old plants from agristarts. The color will be a lot more vibrant when allowed to get more sun.
last summer
Rj, I have seen a few of the lighter pink magnolias around Dallas too. They are pretty, but I like the darker, bigger flowers.
Please do not go to any trouble on our account, remember we are all gardeners and know that a garden is work in progress. TBL would never forgive me if I went without him. Brian does not have to run, I have been practicing self control in the presence of new plants.lol
LouC we are leaving very early on the 28th. I can pick you up.
Is TBL coming then?
YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!!! She knows better than to leave me behind ! HA ha. I bet the the plant you have for me is the AE-AE right! But i would bet that is a BIGGER HA HA HA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although better keep it under lock and key! Jerry. My AE-AE
LOL...a ha! good...glad your coming,
why yes, I have an ae, and a free plane ticket to Hawaii too!

Texasbigleaves, I thought that would get your attention.
We need to start a new thread, anyone with a nice tropical picture is welcomed to start a new one.
I'll start a new one but it will be an old picture that some of you have already seen.
Okay here's the link to the new thread:
