I've only been working on my current collection for 2 years now 'cause I keep having to leave behind my collections 'cause I used to move alot, but this is what I've got so far. x2 Sansevieria trifasciata (one regular, one laurentii) Spathiphyllum wallisii Chlorophytum comosum variegatum Cereus peruvianus Hoya carnosa Podocarpus macrophyllus Dracaena marginata x2 Codiaeum variegatum pictum (one regular, one Golden Star) Ficus diversifolia x2 Howiea (some say Howea) belmoreana Hypoestes sanguinolenta (had 3 colors, red, white and pink but for some reason the red didn't make it) Dieffenbachia picta Exotica x2 Zygocactus truncatus (one with white flowers, the other with salmon) African violet (grew from a cutting) Schefflera actinophylla Citrus paradisi (grapfruit tree from seed ^_^) Echinocereus pectinatus Lobivia famatimensis Lemaireocereus marginatus An uknown cactus that looks kind of like a Lobivia but yet not...but I call it my snowman cactus 'cause they way it's shaped it looks like a snowman without a head. Philodendron scandens Sedum morganianum Saxifraga sarmentosa Beaucarnea recurvata Aglaonema Silver Queen Tillandsia cyanea Kalanchoe tomentosa A succulent whose leaves are bluish green and fuzzy and slightly pointed at the ends. Thought it may have been an Echeveria setosa...but those leaves are waxy...not fuzzy. Sedum pachyphyllum Aphelandra squarrosa louisae Sempervivum arachnoideum Coleus (just a little seedling) Araucaria heterophylla x2 Hedera helix (one Glacier, one sagittaefolia) Coffea arabica Gasteria liliputana (one of my personal favs) Lavandula heterophylla Radermachera sinica Dracaena deremensis x2 Pteris (one ensiformis victoriae, one cretica albolineata) Zamioculcus zamiifolia (the infamous ZZ plant, another one of my favs) Crassula perforata (probably not a good reason to buy a plant but I bought it merely for it's common name...string of buttons!) That's it, that's all. 14 of the plants on that list were added just this month! >_I have a few seeds I'm waiting on too though. Fuschia, Cactus, Salpiglossis, Strelitzia, Passiflora, Musa, Dracaena (forget exactly what it is), Lithops and a Succulent.

paradisi, I grew midyim berry a few years ago but didn't live at that house for long but it was easy to grow and I can't remember it having any problems. Jaboticaba likes similar conditions to lilipillies. Slow to fruit at first but when it does start it has several crops of sweet fruit a year. Below is an article about the midyim I found when researching bush foods. Midyim Berry (Austromyrtus dulcis) This would have to be one of the most delicious of all the Australian bushfoods. They can vary in flavour from extremely sweet to a rather aromatic almost methol flavour. Midyim berries naturally occur on the coast, from Northern NSW, up to Fraser Island, in Queensland, and were a favourite food among the local Aboriginals. They do best in a shady, sheltered place, with well -drained soil but are very adaptable to most sites if water is available. They make a great ground cover, tube specimen or garden plant. Midyim berries are very attractive, growing to a maximum height of 1m and width of about 80cm. They have narrow pointed leaves, 1-3 cm long, which are silky and red/pink when young, giving them a lovely flush of colour. They have a delicate mass of white fluffy flowers, which occur in spring and summer. Although only a small, bush they can produce a large number of small, round, white speckled berries twice a year (January and April). They can be slow growing to start but with ample water they should fruit well by there third year. The fruit is best, eaten fresh, seeds and all, but can be added to fruit salads, into a pie or made into a fabulous native jam.

I guess My wife qualifies as an enabler. I had decided to let all my citrus trees die when both my kumquat trees died in a 3F windstorm that blew my cover off the trees. I had decided to dump the 3 Sweetlee tangerine trees (for rootstock). Jean talked me out of it. 3 month later I was offend 2 rescue Meyers that I accepted and nursed back to health. Later a friend, ,Cory, sent me 2 seed grown Fukushu Kumquat trees and a Meiwa kumquat tree. Fukushu #1 ( Fortunella Obovata ) Fukushu #2 ( Fortunella Obovata ) Meiwa #1 ( Fortunella Crassifolia )Meiwa #2 and Meiwa #3 just grafted 7-19-16 on US897 rootstock. My wife even held the light on the plant.

Am so excited to have drupes on the new Edgeworthia papyrifera that I got this spring. If I can catch them at the right stage of ripe and then get them to germinate ~a year from now, it will probably only be another decade before flowering. So why am I so excited? I don't know but have decided to just enjoy the moment.
