AJ, What a beautiful line up of blossoms! The Aphrodite is sooo very pink and one of the pinkest I've seen!! I agree with you on Double Record, I've seen some pretty ordinary photos of that one. But I'm devastated to see your Seductress(!!) I also have one taking it's sweet time and I'm sure it will look like yours!! I'm sure they all came from the same place.....it's not that it's not pretty, but not the gorgeous picture that you showed it should be!!! Love your Dancing Queen, and your Apple Blossom is very beautiful, that one can be really colorful when grown with enough sun and light, and you must have several more scapes to enjoy on that one!! I think I have a Gervase under the name of Fantasy, but that one is also taking it's sweet time! Hope it looks like yours!! Donna

Dorothy they sure are all coming back. Now we are under Tornado watch all of a sudden. Man this is just crazy!!So far the storms are someplace else. Only have to worry about the tornado watch till midnight lol Maybe the hail would not be so bad and get rid of all the snails that the rain brought on. My gosh I have not seen that many snails since I was over at Kristy's garden. Kristy did you send me your snails my way? roflmao Picture this....hail. Snail in houses...and what they look like after the hail! Cheers lol Lucy

WHOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Look at you go girl!! I do remember that nice little side tour and seeing the beauty of the seedling. The characteristics that it already possessed had it in the front row for the beginning!! The stunning red stems almost dark to black would make any plumeria lover scream with delight!! ;-) To think you have this forming.. OMG! where is the lottery store. Fabulous, Roxanne. I haven't seem any seedling like this before and I will say it is going to be a beauty!! Can you feel the excitement. OMG!!! Keep a watch in this baby and don't let any raccoons or " anything " get near this tree!! ;-). Sign... . " OFF LIMITS". That reminds me.. I had the pest guys over looking under the house ( crawl space). They looked at the two different ways to get in. One was by the deck with my trees around. The other side was more assessable than where I had the trees, but he saw my trees and said oh... I had one and he said I gave it way. then he said he loved them and asked if I sold them. I said no, these were my personal collection. But as I though and then he said he couldn't fit under the house and that he would have to reschedule, I though that others don't know what I have in the back yard. He did have to wait outside as I put savannah inside.. So he knows I have a dog. !he said he really wanted one and asked again if I sold.. I have gave him a small rooted tree that I have been working on that did t do anything to me, but he loved it. So hopefully the aloha spirit will keep him form the back yard. I guess I should have told him about my new puppie. " sweetie". Lol. Tiberian Masstiff!! ;-) So.. What I m getting at, please keep it from being lifted from your property!! I am So HAPPY for you .. I can t wait.. I don't care what time of the day.. You have my number. Call me , text me. Wake me up!! . LMAO!! I want to see!!! Sooooo. Excited. I sent pics to Gordon and Robin. And to Werner and Maria!!! I hope they like the email and pics!!! They are all so nice. The cuttings are all doing well!!! Mmmmmm, I am soooo excited for you!!! Congratulations!! Xoxoxoxo of Laura
