Oooh, I can't wait 'til mine looks like that, though I'm afraid that's going to be a while. Lovely.

Thanks Sultry!! I had no idea this plant dies in the winter? I thought it grows all year but blooms in Spring through Fall...for the price at least that's what I thought Lol...we only get 2-4 days of frost here and last year we only had 2...so I can bring it inside the garage and hope for the best. After googling it...I found out it says its a Perennial so hopefully it will be around for a few years :o) Life Cycle Perennial http://www.flnurserymart.com/products/vines/rangoon-creeper/

I have a rangoon creeper that I keep at a size of about 6 feet tall. I have it in sun from morning until mid afternoon. It bloomed heavily in May, again in Late July, and there are new blooms coming. All I did was give it a little general granular plant food a couple of months ago, water it only when it's been dry, and let the rain do the rest. Maybe the trimming back is keeping it blooming.

I would also be very interested in acquiring a double-flower Rangoon Creeper. Am in zone 9b, SW Florida. I have a single bloom plant I put in the ground about 8-9 years ago. Grows so well it's almost pesty. Needs frequent trimming. Blooms like crazy We've had hard winters here the past 2 years and I thought I lost it, but it came back both times. Not as many blossoms this year but it is blooming now = mid June. GREAT plant.

Ruth, if you want another plant an experiment you might try is upending the pot to expose the roots and then slicing off a couple of inches of the root that'll be at the bottom. Then plant those roots. Of course add fresh potting soil back to the pot before repotting.

Very nice PW. Mine is growing rapidly, but it's not that big yet. How old is that one? So it blooms again in the fall huh? I'll have to check for some blooms on it tomorrow morning.

I thought of you yesterday. My Crepe Jasmine is blooming. And yes, it is very fragrant in the morning. It loses the perfume as the heat gets to it. Wonderful plant. Welcome back, and autumn is right ahead of us!

Thanks all. I cant wait to meet up with you guys during our fall get together. I have poicinia seeds, henna and few others that i collected on my trip.

Easy,

Back home it looks like it is blooming all the time :-). This plant is maybe 4-5 years old. Since the weather is tropical there is really no big shifts in temps.

jimdaz,
Crepe Jasmine, i have pictures of those as well which i will post here real soon. I have been wanting to get one of those as well.

Pagancat,
I ordered the tuberose bulbs from the place you suggested and one of them has three spike and is ready to bloom any one of these days. i am so excited. Thanks for the information.

Good luck on the tuberoses - I've been kind of frustrated with mine. I get a spike, I get buds, but they just kind of sit there until they eventually dry up - arrgh!!! I'm hoping that the heat was a factor and that I'll get some full blossoms here soon.

It would appear that most of the stuff from that site is really of good size (the old bigger is better thing!) - i've been pleased with all I've gotten from them. Did you order anything else?

Does anyone have it growing in mostly full sun? Looks like it would do great on my chain link fence, but it has to take mostly sun....any ideas?

I bought one in a hanging basket last yr, haven't seen one since and want more! I wondered about planting it..this is TX and it does freeze so I left half in the basket, planted half. The basket FLOURISHED in our greenhouse over winter and is HUGE w blooms...the one I left in the ground came back but isn't blooming, too much shade. I'm wonderng if you can DIVIDE, i.e. take the one in the basked and cut it n half thru the root mass?
Any ideas?

Kevin-I have a couple here in central Florida in full sun, both the normal and the double flowered variety. They do very well but do get watered regularly.

csands-I am not sure about dividing the root ball but the regularly variety does root well from cuttings, the double flowered type is tougher to root.

Beautiful picture of "Madhumalati".
I have a single flower and double flower plants. Single flower plant is 4 years old. It did not bloom once. Double flower plant is one year old and blooming so well. Can any one tell me what type of fertilizer should be used to make it bloom?
