Pictures,i've got pictures
Comments (17)GS, I didn't know they could climb either! :O And I thought dealing with skunks or opossums was bad! Ha! Okay, thanks, Kathi...the Kalanchoe you have is not Mother of Thousands (although many people call all plants similar to this by that common name). I don't believe I've ever heard it called butterfly wings, but if it is the one that looks pink...and has pink plantlets on the leaves, then it would be 'Pink Butterflies', the named variegate of Kalanchoe x houghtonii. Otherwise, you have the species (not named). I believe you showed us when you first planted out this area. It sure has filled in nicely!! So colorful!! All plants in the pix are mine except for 2... the one where you can see the sidewalk & the street and the next photo to right (has stone wall planting). Those two were taken on my dog walks. The rest of these pix are from the past...some of them still in my yard, but most not in bloom now. The pic of the cream (sort of pink) blooms in the one third up & on the right is from Aeonium 'Kiwi'....See MoreThink I got a mis labeled HF Young or Will Goodwin
Comments (2)Thanks Josey. I have to get a picture of mine to compare it to yours. Your HF YOung is really pretty and I like the clematis behind it also. Thanks for your help. Maureen...See MorePictures,i've got pictures,xmas cactus etc
Comments (11)Stush,yes that one with the seed pods is one of the ones i got from you.I don't do anything special to it. however the one i got from you called euphorbia lactea,croked,i kept hoping it would come back,but it was not to be.The other that says it's a stapelia gigantea,is finally getting it's first off shoot,which is good as i thought that was a goner as well. I lost the name of that one with the seed pods,it got knocked over early on and when dh picked it up he didn't pick up the name tag for it.Oh and i didn't pollinate it myself,that's all mother natures work. I hadn't planned to plant all the seeds from it,maybe just a couple to see what and how long it will take from seed to plant. Would you like me to send you one of the pods,if so,i need you to tell me when to cut them off,or do i just put a paper bag over them til they drop off?? Anyone know?? By the way the one with the pods bloomed for several months this year,every couple days there was a new bloom.Same with one of my echinopsis ,i thought that thing would never quit blooming this year.. Oh and for those of you that are "soil snobs"No offense meant,LOL i don't use those self mixed concoctions you all do,i use whatever i have on hand and add a little pearlite,i measure nothing.just throw it all in a bucket,mix it up and plant whatever i'm planting. I always tell my friends i follow Mother Nature guidelines!!!! Works for me and as long as it does,i won't change. Thanks to you all for the compliments,oh and by the way the post from last night were from my kindle,so Camelia i do know that is your name and not amelia.The preclinical grey wolf was supposed to be calif.grey wolf.I hate auto correct!!!

Comments (19)I'm from The Netherlands and live about 20 miles from van Son & Koot. They are one of the leading Japanese maple propagators over here. An innovative company with a good reputation. It propagates many of its Japanese maples through cuttings as this is much cheaper than grafting (labour is expensive over here). How they exactly propagate JM from cuttings I do not know but my guess is that a misting system, additional bottom heat and a rooting hormone are required. I've seen Acer palmatum Atropurpureum, Katsura and Wilson's Pink Dwarf from cuttings and they do very well. In one season they grew from 1 foot to 3 to 4 feet with very good branching. Propagation of Japanese Maples Through Seed -- collect fresh seed in the fall as samara's go from green to brown -- I prefer sowing JM outside for natural stratification and not via the artificial method (putting seeds with slightly moist sowing compost in a zip lock bag in the fridge) as I experienced seeds germinating in January/February in the zip lock bag in the fridge and having trouble growing them on. -- cover the sowing with grit to prevent weeds and mosses like liverwort. Cover the pot with chicken wire or something like it to prevent animals or birds from having a go at your seeds (mice like JM seeds). -- Put outside in a somewhat protected spot but where the weather elements can reach it (probably incorrect English but I hope you understand what I mean!) -- Just wait. -- More waiting ... -- In (early) spring with rising temperatures a big amounts of the seeds will germinate. Don't expect that all the seeds will germinate because this does not happen in nature either. Some seeds will germinate in the second year after sowing. If you got 'old' seeds (i.e. not from the current season) more seeds will germinate in their second year than in the first year (but you can be lucky of course) This is one I did earlier: Japanese maple seeds that started to germinate in the zip lock bag in the fridge:...See MoreAlisande
