Hi Karen, Would you be interested in a Tibouchina rooted cutting or a Duranta erecta 'Variegata' rooted cutting? By the way thank you for the Daydream Brugmansia seed. It is now about 12" tall and do great:) Denise

Here's some golden vrieseas to join your celebrations. Our chance to post our golden ones (might not last another 4, 8 , 12 .... years) Vr Golden Legend Vr Saffron Crush Vr Hybrid And not forgetting our valiant efforts, here's what 6th place might resemble Just Kidding- brom humour

Now that I have dozens and dozens of fresh seeds from my Golden Chalice vine. Is there any special way to get them to germinate? I know some plants are a snap to grow from seed. But this is the first time that I am trying to grow this plant from seed. Does anyone have any hints on how to grow them? Is there any special way to plant them, do they need to be soaked or grown on top of the soil or will they sprout if planted inside using the Vigna Caracalla method of sprouting? Any hints?

My mother wasn't much of a gardener, but she did like to have some annual flowers planted in the spring. She usually put them in pots on her front porch, but one year, I bought her a concrete window box type container to put on the side of the front stoop and every season I would change out the flowers. She loved pansies in the winter and geraniums in the summer. Usually did a mixed box of annuals for spring, then transferred them to pots when the geraniums came in. Of course, mums in the fall. She liked being able to sit in her rocking chair in the LR and look out at them. ETA: My mother gave me an aloe plant in a 6-inch clay pot for my 25th birthday. Since then, I've cut the top off and rerooted it several times, and given away more babies than I can count. Last year, I rooted the top yet again, and stuck the stem out into the outside garden just to see what would happen. Well, it has about 5 babies coming up from it, so I'm going to leave it there and see if it blooms. That plant has survived for 39 years being hauled all over SC and FL.
