This is my accompany plants for my Adeniums.
I started some Tropical Hibiscus seeds from the French Polynesia this spring. This is the first to bloom.
These are the same as Adeniums in the respect that they also do not come true to parent plants.

Something I wanted to share .
Comments (14)I just got home from work the corn meal is the same cracked meal that you get at the grocery store,or sun harvest, but it is about 1/10 the cost at the feed store. This is what I found when I entered daylily rust under Howard Garrett website. Daylily Rust This scare is being more overblown than the West Nile virus. Rust is a fungus and the easiest of all diseases to control. Step one is to stop doing what brought the pest organism on in the first place - high-nitrogen soluble fertilizers and toxic chemical pesticides. The control is simple - stop the synthetics and start using organic products and techniques that build the life and health in the soil. Only sick or ill-adapted plants get fungal diseases. The quick fix is to apply cornmeal to the beds at 2 lbs per 100 sq ft and spray the plants with cornmeal juice. See www.dirtdoctor.com for the formula and the Basic Organic Program. I bet the plant wash is just cornmeal juice. Whatever it is, it is working for me. I am so happy to share this with all of you, I lost half of my plants, before I found this stuff. This was the first year I did not order dayliles since 1997. Now I can't wait until next year. Maryott's look out. Barbra,...See MoreWanted to share my DIL2B's something old
Comments (3)Vickey, it's absolutely wonderful. Your daughter in law is really, really lucky. I think you'd better give it to her well before the wedding. If you give it to her then, she is sure to cry and ruin her makeup! Congratulations....See MoreCan you interline w/ something other than flannel?
Comments (7)You can, and I have, but there are issues to consider which include weight (a big issue) stiffness...flannel flows much better than say an upholstry weight fabric) and pattern...a huge issue as that tiny print might not seem to show through when you hold it behind the fabric you are using as your drapes, but add sunlight...wa'la, the flowers look like crap coming through the top fabric. Another issue is just pure stregnth. Flannel blocks out the sun and protects your top fabric from the severe damage that even a year hanging can cause to your drapes. A less dense weave won't do this and you could find that your drapes fade badly or break down (including the lining fabric). One thing I've used as a lining and backing is coat lining. Satin on one side and flannel on the other, it's a wonderful one step answer if you can find it on sale in a light color. I have bundles and bundles of silk that I've purchased for less than nothing....and have to say, that even when it hurts I line with flannel. If you break down your costs and compare them to what the correctly made pieces would have cost you, even at full price the flannel won't be a bad investment. It's the rare material that really does what it's made to all the time...and hard to skimp past for a good finished product....See MoreWhere in the house would you store something you didn't want?
Comments (29)Well, here's a bit of an update, finally. After being sick, getting distracted, and plain old procrastinating, the photos have finally been dealt with. First of all, thank you all for sharing your ideas and what you would do with them. It's interesting to get the different perspectives and look at our situation through them. It was surprisingly easy to sort the good from the bad after summoning the strength to just face them and whatever emotions they might bring with them. Many were blurry, there were a number where the people who were the most prominent subject of the photo were not even people we knew (like the guy who drove us to the chapel). Some were outright awkward, like I mentioned before, and I hadn't realized how unhappy I looked in many of them- not sure if that was so much the truth, or just poor timing of a photo. Either way, the small 'keep' stack ended up at 15 photos. In going through both stacks again, it felt clear that one stack was photos worth looking at, and one stack was photos without much to offer; I was surprised at how clear the distinction was and that I wasn't waffling about whether to keep more. There were two or three that ended up in the keep pile, that I wasn't real sure about. Maybe we will revisit in a year or two, and ditch them if they still feel wrong. For now they are in an envelope in the back of the file cabinet. It feels good to have finally dealt with them. They were one of those things that would turn up, get stuffed somewhere else, and then turn up again later- an exercise in denial. Now it feels like a tucked away envelope with the acceptable, and maybe even good memories, of the day. Thanks again to everyone who weighed in....See More

This one is now in the ground in my back yard
I've never grown them from seeds, but I love them because they bloom all year. The colors of the flowers vary from season to season, however, and are darker, more saturated in the winter.
