Gerard I know what the Tea tree is and of course, my memory cell won't let me tell you the real name, but it isn't hardy in this zone. I have considered getting one as a tropical bonsai but they are hard to come by unless I get one in FL. I was too busy when in FL buying daylilies, I didn't find the Tea tree - lol! They really are called Scotch Broom but still don't know if they are trees or shrubs. I had a small yellow one too Ellie that I rescued (my hubby hates it when I drag home a bargain plant) for $5 at a nursery. It was pitiful the first year, decent the second year and didn't come back the third year. I don't think they like wet feet and it was the winter when everything had waterwings or they didn't survive the winter. I also had a few daylilies forget to come back too that didn't like to swim. I have several clematis but still have five to bloom. Countess de somethingorother, Jackamani, Henryi, Polish Spirit and somethingorother Blue are all a little later here. I lost Dr. Rupel, very mysteriously with buds about to open, this spring. I pointed it out to the hubby and asked Round Up - oh no, wasn't him. Obviously they are quite sensitive to it and some drift got it. Rouge Cardinal, Nellie Moser, Sunset, Pink Fantasy, Ernest Markham and a lost tag are all blooming now. I soooooo love things that bloom prior to daylilies kicking in because once they start, I miss anything else. We planted everything even in scape. They will bloom enough for me to grab the pollen. I was amazed at the root systems when they were unpotted. The hole was dug and set in the ground without much root disturbance. My husband got the pavers around the one bed today. It would have been done days ago but he decided he wanted the pavers around all four sides and not just three. He had to dig that section, get the landscape fabric down, then the sand. He announced he is done with it. He is nice and lets me cut off the exposed fabric. We might actually have a sunny day tomorrow so hopefully I can get four hosta dug and moved to new homes, better spaced so they don't eat their neighbors. I also have the same two weeds I've been fighting all spring, popping up under the daylily foliage. Don't know what it is - Janet didn't know what it was but Clint's Dandy Digger and I will be meeting it tomorrow. More and more scapes in the field - it really gets busy around here then. Brooke

At this time of the year I will let my feeders go 4 to 5 days-especially since I do not even have any birds yet. As long as it is in the 50 to 60+ degree daytime temperature range that is very safe. Some people go longer than that-but I never do. I must say that in July and August when we are in the 90 degree range I change my feeders daily. I do not have many shady places for my feeders so it is a must for me to change daily. I will have a total of seven feeders up in late may on to the end of the season, because I have so many birds feeding and most are very territorial. Believe me it is a chore to change 7 feeders daily-but well worth it as my feeders are so popular. If you have just a couple of favorite hummingbird plants(butterfly bush or quince or trumpet vine) you are very much more likely to have hummers. If you have some good plants for them they WILL find your feeders. May you have a yardfull this year! Vicki

Hello all, Plumie.... I am the one who is now looking forward to seeing your photos this time! I think if we just remember to write a few lines about our plumies in the threads, we wont get into bother as we seem to get a bit side tracked, oh well, it's all very interesting stuff and its to do with gardening I guess. Shane....Good luck with your Yellow Hawaii cutting also, keep us posted? I will do the same. Glad you liked the pics! The white/yellow centre plumie is a 'Celadine', it is the only one I have apart from the cutting. It was one of five from Oz...6" sticks in planted in April 2005, the others rotted, but had I known about this forum, I could have saved them. I have learnt such a lot from here. John...So you have a Red then? We will have to turn this into a competition to see who can get roots first, bet I will be last! I forgot to put perlite around the stem (thanks for reminder) although I did mix it 50/50 with compost. Will have to tip out and re-do it tomorrow. I put a cut off lemonade bottle over the top of the pot to make a little greenhouse, as that is how I got my Celadine to 'get a move on' this spring, but I noticed a bit of grey fuzz on the leaf scars as I guess it was too humid, so I have taken the cover off and am letting the stick dry out more. Hopefully it will not go mouldy again. I am toying with the idea of making heat-box...cardboard box lined with 1cm thick polystyrene sheets, then lined again with aluminium foil, into which a low rated light bulb will be placed. A lid of polystyrene with a hole cut in to slip the plant pot down into the box as far as the 'collar' of the pot. The heat from the light bulb should then be contained in the box and give it constant bottom heat as I fear we are fast approaching autumn over here (outside temps at night have already been below 10deg)and I dont want to loose my cuttting...I tried placing it on top of the lid of the tropical fish tank, over the transformer, but the heat didnt penetrate, (especially when the lights went out at night!!!)do you think this will work?

I dunno this is why i posted, i need to be set straight : D what ever it is, ill be happy to share some if it, i do enjoy it, neat, tidy, and beautifully marked, but i really want some big sans varieties! Mason congo, fisheri, stuckyi, i really dont know what others get monsterous in time, but that what im shootin for next. Im not sure but i fear its too late this year to do any mailing to the north tho, there always next spring tho. hopefully by then we all have some lovely new sans to swap around. Ive been poking around and all the links i find to cultural practices with golden hahnii lead me back here...

When I went to make my guess, only Mike had made a guess. It took me awhile to look at the picture. Lol. The first thing I though was it was someones finger, hairy and all. I had no idea what that was.lolololol. Prize or no prize, that game was fun. Can we do it more often?

Congrats Dave!

That was totally weird looking, Lucy, and Mike you are too funny!

Then, let's get this right. It was not a guy that had a baby, it was a woman wanting to be a guy that had a baby. I believe it was because her wife was already too old to have one.

eloise -- I know. That's why I put the 'his' pronoun in quotes. The media really wanted you to believe it was a guy -- even though we all knew it was a woman with just a lot of testosterone shots.

Lucy, I have some cuttings of a thing called a lifesaver plant that look sort of like that but have a ring in the center that looks like lifesaver candy. If they live you can have one.
