Is there an archive? Looking for O. imbricata post from Carolinas

14 years ago

I have been trying to find a post regarding Cylindropuntia imbricata that someone found growing along a highway in the Carolinas somewhere and I can not find it anywhere. I'm pretty sure it was during 08' but could have been 07'. Unfortunately, the posts don't seem to go back far enough. Does anyone know how to search archives?

If anyone happens to recall this post and can find it.. OR if it was you that posted it, I'd be greatful for more info.

There were photos of the plants, I believe they were taken at night. I know at least one was taken at night as the person (male) that posted passed them on his way to or from work, in the dark. There were a lot of canes under the plants too... but they were pretty large plants.

TIA

Paul

Try and the search listed on top of this forum page. I barely can use the PC I can't even post my pictures. This is a bad week end to get information. Start up your own Subject on who wants O. imbricata, that person may respond. I really don't know how to help you. Do you want one, or do you want to give someone a start of the plant. You can't advertise here, but if you want to give one away to this person state the fact. Some one may give you a hand to find this person. Norma

No, I don't want one. He already sent me some, but I know someone that is interested in going to see these cactus as they live in North Carolina and said it does not usually do well there, but these are looking great and thriving.

Oh, and I already searched from the top. Thanks anyway

Cindy I love pictures too, don't appologize. A picture is worth 1,000 words. I love your set up. I need to put a stick or something in mine so it can climb. I did notice this morning that one of the vines is starting to grow, that is soooo exciting. You should be really proud of yourself for rooting that imbricata. I heard it was really a challenge to root imbricata, that's why I spent the 50 bucks and got it instead of trying to root it myself. So what is the medium you have in the bottom of your glass and where can I buy some? shanna

Thanks for the welcome! It's sure been fun getting to "know" some folks before getting there. Makes me feel like I'm going home in a way. LOL We close on the lot tomorrow, and the designer is working on the floor plan for us revised based on what we drew up, and will have that on Friday. So, step by step we're getting there. We will wait till it's built to move, which will probably be in January. And that's a guess (and hope). Yes, we are getting excited. It will actually feel "real" when we own the lot and we have a final house plan in our hands. Are you in or near Greenville? Do you know the best nursery for native plants there? It would be nice to have a name where to begin. I've already begun thinking about what we want to put in the area around the house. They don't leave much of a "building envelope" since it's a preservation community, so that is GREAT! And they want native plants used which is wonderful. We've had a natural wildlife habitat yard for many years and really love it. We promoted National Wildlife Federation's program and it's been a lot of fun for us and other gardening families that like birds and wildlife.

Hi! I'm a lurker here because y'all have such wonderful ideas. kittypawz-WOW! You live across from the Priddy Fountain? I went to junior high and part of high school in Highland Park and used to drive past that thing (before it was rebuilt) all the time. oceanna-Your siding pics are too funny. My last home had a huge picture window in the dining room that was 6' from the neighbor's house (all brick). I finally built a trellis on the outside to grow vines over the window and block the view :) Here's what I see outside my windows now..

For a nice chuckle, if not all-out hilarity, go over to the GardenWeb, to the Amaryllis/Hippaestrum Forum, and scroll to the thread entitled: "Amaryllis Selection and Planting". Sorry, can't make the link work. Maybe someone else could? These are the nicest people, oohing and ahhing over each others' buds and scapes, even the most pathetic ones. Which I totally understand, as forcing amaryllis bulbs is a major interest for me every winter into spring. It's a cute thread, although it does devolve into creepy-crawl-ly stories.

Thanks Yale. I've tried that. So I guess it's no longer on the system or maybe it was even on another forum... but I can't even guess which one... Maybe Daves Garden? But I can't search there... I was never really too active there either, so I doubt it.
But thanks again

The Search is real crap at this site.
I've typed the exact title of an old Thread into the Search box...and got nothing. However, I later found my Thread linked through another Thread, and I was taken there immediately. Don't give up. It probably still exists. Keep trying different search terms.

Who knows? It might have been one of the lost posts, which may or may not be restored. The search does suck on this site.
Try to google it, sometimes I find old posts that way.
Tally HO!
