Hi Jean, Sorry to hear about the pc problems. I hate that. Thanks for sharing your pretty blooms. The only one I have is Red Volunteer. I like it because it's so tall and strong. Love your shot of Custard Candy with the roses in the background. Beautiful!

China Bride is my pick. Love that color on it. I look forward to your photos. Don't let photobucket get you frustrated. My dislike is not being able to search my own album and find a pic without having all other photobucket users pics show up and mine won't show. Before they started all the changes you could easily search your own album. Now I have to go page by page to find a photo. Still for a freebie, it works....well sometimes. Julia

Hi Cruz, Welcome to the forum! Thank you for the kind words. You'll find lots of friendly, knowledgeable people on this forum who love to share what they've learned, and who also love to contribute to each others' addictions--consider yourself warned. You're in Dade, so we're neighbors. I choose to identify my county because our state is so large--Tallahassee is something like 400 miles away, right? Anyway, plumeria are pretty easy where we live. They're not fussy, so all we have to do is protect them from the occasional winter cold front, and feed and water them when they're growing. To answer your question, I do not use epsom salts. However, some on here do use them at the beginning of the season. I think it depends on the growing conditions in each grower's backyard. Epsom salts provide magnesium and sulfur, and I have no indication that my plants are deficient in either of those particular minerals. I continuously feed (IOW, at every watering), low dosages of Dyna-Gro Foliage Pro 9-3-6, along with Dyna-Gro ProteKt 0-0-3 and Super Thrive. Because the two fertilizers provide full-spectrum nutrition (NPK + all micronutrients), I don't ever worry that I have a deficiency in any one particular nutrient. Great stuff! I also foliar feed at extremely low dosages the same with Spray-N-Grow added. This is NOT necessary but I do it because it gives me an excuse to hang out near my trees, truth be told. A search on this forum should yield all kinds of helpful information, but if you want to ask more questions, by all means, feel free. Good luck and happy growing! Greg

Thanks Leslie. CITRUS TEASE is one of the most floriferous roses I have. Blooms all the time. Thanks Bgrose. Yes, I've probably spent more money on my garden than the house! And it can be a lot of work. But it can be my sanctuary too. It's all worth it when they come into bloom! Beth, thanks so much! I have an older Sony Cybershot camera with a pretty good macro lens. And Photoshop helps a lot! I'll try to get some more pics of SEA PEARL. Aprille, thanks! Hopefully the weather will warm up in the next few days and SEA PEARL will open up some more. Hah Kathy! My husband tells me I should open up a nursery all the time. I just don't have room to put up greenhouses and the property is too sloped. LOL I am trying to get some of my more unusual varieties to Cliff Orent in the hopes he can propagate some of them. He's so busy right now getting his new nursery set up and running that he doesn't have time or room to take on any more cuttings for awhile.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments. Panther is starting to get used to Bella, and she's started to learn not to chase the kitties - she's getting better at it actually - the past few days a few times when the cats came in and she got up we told her No - Down, she just did that - wow the training is really working! Carol - here's a picture of a fully open RF, in the spring the white/red edge is more pronounced, I find the roses blooming now are more pink overall and there's not much of the red/pink tip fully opened.

I will try to write to you when I'm not so tired; it's suddenly gotten hot and humid here, have to keep planting a little every day if possible.

I'm glad to see you posting again. The full-size pics took pretty long to load so I only looked at a couple. I don't know the code for thumbnails yet, but that is a good way to do. I've got dsl, too, faster than when I had dialup but still works off the phone line. Brave Heart looks a little different today, but still beautiful. Maybe it was overcast when you took the other you posted which almost made the colors look neon.

You sure have a lot of beautiful lilies there, looks like a lot of work to me. How do you keep the weeds down?

Ann; Thank you,

jean, that's why I couldn't live in the south, but you probably get breaks. It was 90 and high humidity today, and I wanted to till where we buried my cat (son kindly dug a hole deeper than I could and left it lumpy even though it had been tilled) and the adjacent spot and rake it all smoothe which I managed to do.

Then took a long nap lol. Now I can get the rest of my roses in, am putting some lilies with one. Some chores are easier in the evening rather than in the heat of the day. I water then, too, which you really shouldn't.

I'll just do my best to keep the weeds down. Even mulching doesn't smother them all anyway, and it is a lot of extra work. I finally bought a hoe, that should help a lot, and can't find my pointy thing that was better for getting into tight places. Handpulling is ineffective much of the time, and the hand claw/pointy thingie is kind of hard on my back.

Some lilies do help to keep the weeds down, but I like to interplant other things and not just have all lilies, kind of like what I see in your photos.
