Which variety would you select?
Comments (3)I ordered from Logees a couple of times and was very satisfied with their plants. As of what to choose - it's a hard question. Get one of everything, LOL! Ihave 8" pot of curtissii, but it never bloomed for me yet. I love it for the foliage (I love all small leaves hoyas). I also have same serpens - also never bloomed yet. Lacunosa is realy cute, I had one tiny cuttings flowered a couple fo times, now I got a 5"pot full of it and hoping for more flowers this summer. All of the above are pretty forgiving and likes to be on a dry side....See MoreWhich variety would you choose?
Comments (15)Hoya carnosa is a tough plant and should do well in bright light, it can stand going dry every now and then without problems. Hoya gracilis is now called Hoya memoria and is from the Philippines. This Hoya along with Hoya sp. Haraku will both do well in bright light but they will need slightly more water than Hoya carnosa and to stay in smaller pots. If you are starting with cuttings don't use more than a four inch pot of potting soil mixed with perlite or pumice and some small orchid bark if you can find it. You can grow your plants outside as long as there is no chance of frost but I would aim for 10 degrees Celsius as the low, any lower and you could risk loosing the plants. You picked some very nice Hoya species and I think you will do well with them and see many flowers. Mike...See MoreMango Varieties- Which would YOU choose?
Comments (9)The only time I ate a mango was when I ate this one cake at a cafe in Downtown Denver. Well, I did eat it many times :) But I never bought them to eat by themselves. Now that I live in the Middle East I eat mangoes all summer long because they are crazy about them here. We have one mango tree at our home but it is not my most favorite..my MIL got it from Oman over 10 years ago. The mangoes are small and pale yellow inside... with a slightly tart flavor. So far I like the ones that have a real orange color inside. Like the Alphonso mangoes from India, which just started recently being sold here. They are still a tad expensive but over the next month or so the price should drip as more will be imported. My husband's favorite are from Pakistan--they are large and oval shaped and a more yellow to yellow-orange in color. I think they are good, but prefer the Alphonso. I just did an image search for some of the mango varieties listed here.. the Kent one looks like the really orange colored kinds I love. Valencia Pride looks more similar in shape and color (I think it might be smaller though) to the Pakistani mangoes my husband likes. I will be visiting family in Denver this September. I think I will be asking my sister to pick up several varieties of mangoes (hopefully they sell many of the ones listed here) and have her freeze them so I can taste them when I get there :)...See Morewhich pomegranate variety???
Comments (7)The newer variety "Angel Red" grows a bit shorter than the other varieties, typically 8ft. It has noticeably softer seeds, is sweet and has a nice mellower flavor. The adjective "angelic" really is kind of appropriate to describe the taste. While Angel Red has been commercially marketed as "an exceptional new variety of pomegranate", the only thing actually exceptional about it is that it is the best variety among the early-bearing pomegranates varieties. I also have an "Austin". This variety is less common and originated relatively recently from breeding some select varieties from Syria. The pomegranate fruits are very big and supposed to be good for making wine, it has a high juice content and very sweet. I tasted an excellent variety from an Indian market (I suspect it was an Indian variety, not Parfianka). It had the most intense flavor, dark juice. The acidity was hard on my teeth and stomach (I mean to the point where I only felt like eating half the fruit at one time), but it didn't really taste incredibly tart. I wrote a post about my experience here: just had an amazing pomegranate. So you might want to check out some of the Indian pomegranate varieties....See Morearmyofda12mnkeys
