anyone growing edgeworthia?
Comments (4)My Edgeworthia brings joy throughout the year. Now in cold January, in Durham, North Carolina, it is blooming beautifully and even with no leaves at all, is perfection. There are camellias blooming occasionally in my yard and Lenten Roses may appear one of these days but in this gloomy wintry period, I can absolutely count on the glorious Edgeworthia. Mine was a present from a fine young man just before he returned to his home in Mexico saying in his yard there was no good place for it. He brought it four summers ago and planted it for me on a hillside under a small tree. By today, it has grown exponentially (!) multiplying itself month by month. Most of the year it has graceful, smooth, silvery leaves on its substantial, sculptural branches. My neighbors, Lucy and Babs, have a sturdy old one six times the size of mine bursting with flowers. Theirs is up against their house partially shaded by their wall....See MoreOk, I'm bad..A MUST have for all you fragrant buffs!

Mine did, the Autralis did in less than a year! Ok, let me share a source for that Hoya you NEED:-) That's what friends are for:-) I would'nt wait on this one though since Joni is selling out and may run out. Here is a link that might be useful: Hoya Palawan...See MoreSpring Swap 2011 - What are you bringing? What do you want?

Comments (150)Amserelda: I'd like some hens and chicks, please, to add to my collection. I'm not picky -- anything will do! Serpent Moon and I appreciate the Crown of Thorns cuttings -- she has already requested it for us. Would you like a cutting of Euphorbia trigona? Skybird: We already have some sedums from you, from the fall swap. I'm not sure what Serpent Moon has requested, but I'm fine with you giving some of them to others who request them. ---------- The tomatoes I planted a few weeks ago are still sprouting. I take back whatever I said about the potentially low germination of the Costoluto Fiorentino tomato seeds. Even though I saved the seeds over a decade ago, they are still in good shape. I have 3-4 seedlings per pot, of the 3-4 seeds planted per pot. If you are careful, you might be able to separate out the seedlings and pot them up separately. I don't think any have their first set of true leaves yet. If anyone wants seeds for them, please let me know and I'll package up some for you. Ditto for the seeds from the cherry tomatoes I grew last year from Plant Swap plants -- Black Cherry, Sun Cherry, and Riesentraub. All seem to be germinating well this spring. Costoluto Fiorentino looks a lot like Costoluto Genovese, for those who are wondering. It's a medium to large sized tomato with lots of ribs, rather like an accordion. They're a booger to peel if you're making sauce. The flavor is quite reasonable, and they grew well in my Oregon garden (coolish dry summers, fairly short season). The original seed came from Sementi, a gift from a friend who had visited Italy. I'll go through the thread this evening to write down names of people who've requested specific things. I'll make coleus and geranium cuttings tomorrow, plus maybe a few Euphorbia trigona cuttings in case anyone wants a thorny but vigorous succulent as a houseplant. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone!...See Morefrankielynnsie

3 years agoI know this is an old post, but I too am looking for a Red Dragon Edgeworthia and can not find a nursery that has it in stock. We have four of the yellow ones and we want one of the red/orange ones to complement the yellow ones we have. Any idea where I might find one north of Atlanta and/or online? We ordered the yellow ones online, but no luck with the Red Dragon. Any suggestions you may have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.....
