June pics. please share some of your trees, sm. or lg. with us:-)
Comments (67)Houston..Guess what? I felt the same way about my figs! I had a couple and they are not as sweet as many rave them to be to me, and I let them fully ripen. I was told the older the tree, the sweeter they get. Oh I hope so. Mine are only about 2-3 feet tall. I hope someday to get a VERY sweet one. Keeping my fingers crossed. You can have the cooler weather.lol It's depressing to wake up 5 days out of the week with cloudy skies and temps below normal. I get enough of that in the Spring, Fall, and Winter. Our summers are shrinking while just one state away they are boiling. Strange I'll say! Protect your trees for sure in that. I hope you have a pool. Josh! Well, would you look at that! Holding back for one of the best? Very very nice. Will you be separating them anytime soon or let them grow together like a mini forest? They look pretty good together like that. Are you growing them for fun, or for eventual fruit? I love them. 46 degrees! Well, I thought my weather was cold. You must still use some source of heat for those cold nights, or at least put the windows up. Wow. Well, I can understand why certain plants may be an issue for you there. My weather is much warmer than yours, but still I have a problem with some of the plants you mentioned too. But despite them odds, what you grow still seems to relish in your care. Good work. 68 this a.m. and light drizzly rain. It's breezy and feels like fall. I think our hot summers of past have all but disappeared for good:-( Mike...See MoreWant to share your front yard garden pics?
Comments (5)Yeah, I wanted to but not really sure how to do this. But I am going to get a landscaper to come to my house and give me some ideas. It will cost a little money, but in the end, he/she will be able to really fill in the spaces well. I just don't know what I am doing! HA HA HA! Check out the whipcords on google. They are something that is just so different and hard to describe. They are new to this area and I have yet to see one in any yards. I hope that it will create a conversation or two with the neighbours....See MoreIt's Halloween....share your scary gardening stories and creature pics
Comments (10)My scary story involves being a Florida gardening neophyte and not realizing that everything I planted was going to either get huge or run everywhere! Bamboo that was supposed to be Golden Goddess, but it isn't. When first planted and second photo from a couple years ago--bamboo stalks are even larger now. I planted this clerodendron from a tiny pot from a garden club sale. Now it has spread itself all around, 30 feet from its original plant. I am chopping down suckers everywhere. I planted a blue clockvine on a trellis. It got huge and died back in the frost, leaving ugly black leaves and bare stems, so I dug it up and threw it on the side of the lot. Now it covers all the scrub growth for quite a distance. I love the Dombeya seminole I planted, but now it covers up everything else--under its spreading branches are three roses, a bird of paradise, two pineapple plants, and several crinum lilies. But it's just starting to bloom, so how can I prune it now??? To the right of the Dombeya is a Carolina jessamine--climbing into the gutters. How was I to know it would get so BIG? I have several other examples, including a fern a neighbor gave me that is spreading everywhere, a Calliandra powderpuff that got huge and has to be put back every year or the neighbor's yard disappears under it, a coral honeysuckle that got so thick it collapsed the trellis it is growing on ....

Comments (141)I got an email notification about this thread. I had forgot all about it. It’s nice seeing the colorful plants this time of year My plants never colored up since we when from warm days to freezing temps. Maybe next year. I do want to thank Mike for sending me the cuttings! They are amazing and truly appreciated. They’re all cramed into my only decent southern window. Sorry for the poor picture...See More

7 years agoWell, mine is not as interesting as the above, but I like this one because it is such a full, regular shape. I do like my Thanksgiving cactus too, but the pix didn't come out well (dappled shade).

Modest and reliable... My gymnocalyciums! They bloom regularly and make me so happy. The first bloom I ever had was a gymnocalycium and it's the reason I became addicted to succulents!

Violet, my gymno is blooming right now, and I was startled at the size and colour of the blooms. I <3 it!
My favourite right now is this aloe - just about to be repotted and has many more pups than I thought!

7 years agoWhen it comes to favorite, how does one select only one Haworthia? Now, Kevin has done so. But in his heart I'll bet he secretly has others! So here's some of mine from recently arrived wonders.

7 years agoGreat plants everyone!
I narrowed it down to 3. I grow mostly Echinopsis hybrids for the flowers, but for looks, my favorites are the hairy white cacti.
Yikes--this is one of my oldest plants--in desperate need of a repot

Favorite plant of the day... Hmmmm. how about this old thing?Adromischus schuldtianus pushed it into this pot six or seven years ago I guess it's to old to flower any more as it hasn't flowered in it's current pot

this black prince has a special place in my heart. At first I thought it wasn't variegated but it is starting to show some - and it is giving me a pup!

7 years agoHowdy Noto Kind of fond of all of the schuldtianus I've some others that have a good structure for being in animal shapes as well of the same type. I had purged them last season will be a few seasons for the anticipated results. Have been enjoying your flowering pads and all the others who post a fav or two.
To keep me on the up and up I named this one after someone on the forum Wont say who though but I think they know.
Lapidaria margaretae with it's windblown top dressing being replaced and then tossed back into the sun is today succulent favorite here

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoI'm just getting into succulents, and lurk here often. You're all a great wealth of knowledge! I'm starting out with basics, and will eventually add more exotic ones.
I've had this one for 5-6 yrs now. Love how it trails:
I just got a few new ones:
Look at this cutie!

I don't know exactly :( the Altman label said "Aloe Asst". Their site lists a few that look somewhat similar, and they seem to be Altman exclusives.
Hmmm maybe it's a 'Christmas Sleigh' ?
I've just repotted mine :)
maybe it's a "Coral Fire". The teeth seem more like this one's
