Hi Beetle, I am sorry you just trimmed your plant. I would not think this is the right time for Gardenia because you just removed the flower buds for next spring. Oh, well, you will have to enjoy solely the leaves for quite a while. It is best to buy grown Gardenias from stores and nurseries. It is quick and easy. I always recommend it. My small plants take a whole year to flower. I give it a lot of care. If you charge $50 per hour, your plant will cost you more than $500 each. Around the end of last summer, I set the stems in unfertilized soil after the parent plant finished blooming. I did cover the pot with transparent bags for about 3 weeks. They require warm temperature to root. You might need to keep it in the 80s Fahrenheit. C

Lucy & Knotz, I've had mine in the ground from 3 years and two of the four clumps have flower spikes. They are in really sandy soil, with about 6 pvc pipes running underneath them, in a narrow bed between the wall and a sidewalk. Hows that for crowding their roots?! haha. It's about time they flowered! I'm hoping that they open up this weekend so that I can get some pics before they begin to fade. Thanks for the compliments, but it's really just mother nature at her best. The plants are mostly from regions with similar climates and so they are able to grow with very little mainenance or help. All I do is stick the plants in the ground and provide the irrigation during the summer months. Hopefully, after this winter, the plants will become established enough to where I can reduce the watering to only once every week or two. Josh

Jan how large is your Hoya erythrina and is this it's first bloom? This has been a fairly slow plant for me but it does put out growth in spurts. I have been watching it closely for signs of a peduncle but I think I am going to be waiting a long time. I literally gasp when I saw your Hoya Mithilde it's absolutely fantastic! I am looking forward to seeing the plant in full bloom. I wonder if the unusually cool weather this winter was a help in developing so many blooms? Do you find this Hoya to be a heavy bloomer or has it only bloomed this well as it became a larger plant? Mike

Hi Megaera, If your rose cultivar is the type where the flower has more than 50 petals, it won't open successfully until we get really hot weather, so probably not until mid to late July and beginning August. Roses are heavy feeders, so any fertilizer that has high numbers (20-20-20)plus lots of water, sun and air circulation is necessary to have good growth and bloom.

Eric, that for sure looks like a promising upcoming spring flush! Congratulations!

All your photo are great, but I especially love the photo of the Botzaris buds, which I feel it has an almost magical atmosphere!
Another favorite of mine is the picture of Yolande d'Aragon. I got this rose this year as a band and it has produced one incredible flower for me already, which was much lighter in the color than yours! Yours looks great!
I also like how you are growing many roses on supporting (climbing) structures.
The white bird house in the photo with Louise Odier is very pretty!

Thanks for sharing your roses, and please, post more photos when the roses are open!

Thanks for the comments. We've had a consisently wet spring here, so everthing is green, lush, and primed to explode when we get a stretch of warm sunny weather. The pattern has been about 5 days of spotty rain, then a couple days of sun.

I don't have a lot of room, so I need to go vertical :)

I have to make a correction. The flower listed as Yolande de Aragon is actually Indigo.

I can hardly wait to see the follow up pictures; there is such promise here. I think the bushes with their zillion buds are almost a pretty as when in full bloom. Beautiful, lush foliage--it can't get much better.
