Few July buds and blooms

@ Pug Hey now, little lady, you can't go saying that caudata is hard to get a photo of and then post the most beautiful caudata photo ever! I don't think I've ever seen it more elegantly photographed. And to think there are Etsy vendors selling framed photos of carnosa, when people could have this! My ellipticas are attempting to bloom for the third time this summer... if they blast again I'm going to have to change something... possibly my address. Estrella buds yay!! My favorite Hoya, too! You will have to tell me whether you, too, think they smell like the sexiest man alive. ;P Isn't patella the best bloomer? We are BFFs. And darwinii!! Wow. It looks so ornamental with those long lobes and pointy teeth, and that grown-up wine stain color. Still makes me crave a raspberry popsicle tho. Love your Aescynanthus, too. :) @ Renee I think closing Hoya flowers sometimes make the prettiest pictures, too! Love the way it looks in that dark light. Was it orangey when it was open? Idk how you make your juanngoiana look so elegant in that photo. I think I'm just not giving mine enough room to grow. It always looks so tough and brutal to me, but yours looks like an art nouveau sculpture. You sure did get the infamous cagayanensis shimmer there!! Terrific job!!! I wonder if people who haven't see the plant IRL can correctly interpret the shine from a photo, though, or if it's just recognizable once you've already seen it. (Kind of like one of those stereograms). Because it took me a minute to see the shimmer, but now I can't un-see it. I kept staring at it last night and trying to see it through naive eyes again. Anyway, for those who haven't seen the plant in person, I always describe it as the kind of iridescent glitter-shimmer that you see on certain sporty-chic fabrics, like sneakers or reflective vests. Or on an insect's wings. Honestly, why are so many of our workout clothes shiny? Who made that a thing? Is it just so we feel like these space age fabrics are worth the money?

Nothing special-just a few more pics/Tues morning

They are just getting started...I am in a contest with someone in N.C. to see who can grow the biggest one. They are getting more attention,fert,etc than ever so this could be a great year for them. However,wind hail and such can put an end to that at any time which is kind of a shame. Click for weather forecast

A few bloom pics this Friday morning

Nice! I like your new rose. I'm such a sucker for pink roses. That must be a hibiscus, in the picture. Is is upright or sprawling? It looks a lot like the annual I showed above. I went to Lowes yesterday on the way home from the Dr. and came home with an impulse Kordes rose. Shame on me! Ingrid, our nearest Lowes had some lovely Dahlias all potted and blooming. You could try one right now, if you wanted to. Thanks for the lily name, Cath. The orientals don't normally do very well for me, not enough winter chill:( I think I actually tried "Hot Line" a few years ago, and it didn't make it. Thanks, Roselady. I hope your little band does well for you. My Louise Odier has downright shocked me with constant blooms. Here are some this morning. And the new buds just keep coming!

Everything looks great Mike. I know that you have been a good papa to all your plants. I'm still waiting to see if I have any doubles or triples. So far it doesn't look that way. I'm still have a few that haven't bloomed so there maybe hope yet.

Way to go.....and your Castor Beans look pretty good too.

Happy Gardening, Marian

Oh I wish I was closer to help!! I would even loan you my pickle buckets. Remember to soak them really good first and when you dig the holes for them again soak them and fill the hole with water, let the water leach into the soil before planting. I would love to come help!

You sure have a lot of work ahead of you. I read that if you know you are going to move a large plant, tree or shrub, that you dig in a reasonable size to move circle around the plant. Just take the shovel & cut straight down. Don't dig or lift. It will cut off some of the big roots & new smaller ones will take their place & make it a little less stressful. You are supposed to do this as soon as you know you will be moving them but maybe better late than never. I have moved a 8 foot apple tree by doing this a year before I moved it. I re-shoveled about once a month during the growing season. I'd come & help if I lived closer.

Everything is lookin real good! So jealous of the dat blooms. mine still aren't blooming..they don't like me. Sux you have to dig everything up, but I am sure they will all love their new home!

O..uh..what's with the barbed wire, lol. At first I was thinking deer? but wouldnt they just reach right over and still eat the plants that were at that height?

Everything look great. I'm sure you are dreading relocating them. Just remember to take cuttings of your MG's. I don't think I'd bother trying to dig them up.

What fantastic plants you have Mike! Yes, it's going to be tough having to dig up and transport all your babies, but you are taking them to their new home and soon they will again be growing and loving it there.
