African Violets

Laguna Photo/Description?

18 years ago

I found this at Walmart. It is a lovely white pansy with a narrow red/burgundy border,somewhat frilly. Walmart has a tendency to sell AV that do not have their full names? Can anyone tell me if it is in a series of maybe towns or beaches. Any info would be great.Thanks, Linda

Linda -

hard to say what you get. WM lately doesn't put any name tags on anything. It can be from Anthoflores - Product of Canada - and they are not registered and have their own marketing names - like their hybridizers came up with a new clone XYZ1088b - and their marketing department decided to call it Laguna or Jennifer or Kitticat. ( check Harster greenhouses site for names )

Check Optimara site - they have this type names.

Better- make a pic of your new baby for all of to enjoy and maybe come up with some names.

Cheers

I don't think you are doing anything wrong. It might not show with the photo until the page is refreshed. If it is taking a long time, your internet might be sluggish. Remy

Not persimmon. But the Virginia Tech dendrology site lists 4 species of Nyssa, and two of them have fruit an inch or longer. And they all like swamps. Maybe it's one of them. WW Water Tupelo, Nyssa aquatica Ogeechee Tupelo, Nyssa ogeche FWIW the other two are Nyssa sylvatica and Nyssa biflora, and it looks like all 4 of them are found in some part of Florida.

I really like rickd presentation and photos. Im an absolute newbie here and looking for advice. I first thought I would use the 5gal bucket system but then got the idea the worms [red wigglers] like to stay only in the top 3" of soil so it seemed so much would go to waste. So I switched my ideas to the more flatter tub system found these at rural king. 24"x18 x 7" got two one for leacheate or however you spell it. In the bottom I have cut up cardboard an wet peat plus shredded paper , coffee grounds and a thick layer shredded paper on top, holes in the bottom of bin for drainage plus airation holes all around and in the lid. When I added a little food today I noticed some warmth coming from underneath. Is this a good thing or something that may cause me a problem.
