My New Zebra Plant (Picture)
Comments (26)Oh Pug, look at your Palm in the background!! You probably don't think twice about it, like I ignore maples growing here. To be honest, I dislike maple trees, especially the one we have out back. A huge, green, pain in the butt tree, tosses millions of seeds, germinate, roots grow deep, hard to pluck seedlings, then in autumn, hundreds of leaves change color, drop and need raking. Like I said, a Pain. I like Dogwood, Magnolia and a few others. But no tree compares to a mature palm. They're beautiful. Wowee, what a group of fruit trees! How tall is your Pinapple Guava? Does it frut? Also, what size and type are your lemons. I've never seen Mango or Lychee trees. Which Kumquat do you have. Nagami, Meiwa or another? Do you eat fruit? What, no bananas? LOL Are you originally from Fl? Over the years, I've talked to people born and raised in cold climates, moved to Fl, and swore they'd never return to their birth place. Though a few say they miss 4 seasons. Why would anyone miss ice and snow? And shoveling. I tell them, return to your birth place, view the snow, especailly on Christmas, then head back after the holidays. Don a sleeveless shirt, get hold of a shovel, and start hauling 10 lbs of white stuff. LOL..They should stick to viewing Christmas cards or winter scene postcards. LOL Are your house plants indoors or outside? Every so often Home Depot sells Goldfish Plants. Mostly in spring or fall. Living in Fl, I'd imagine nursery's galore. NO? How about asking a nurseryperson to special order? Some places will do so without charging additional fees. Though it depends on the nursery; family owned businesses are more willing to do it. It doesn't hurt to ask, especially if you really want a certain plant. Forget larger places like HD and Lowes, they could care less. www.accentsforhomeandgarden.com sells Goldfish plants. Prices are reasonable, shipping costs not too bad. I also like shopping at www.almostedenplants.com It's so easy to order online. LOL. I don't like paying for shipping either, but Pug, if it wasn't for internet nurseries, I wouldn't have half the plants I do. There's a local nursery, a good 30 miles north, that sells rarer plants, including GF. Their larger plants are EXPENSIVE, but they also have aisle after aisle of 4" potted plants for 3.95. No shipping costs, instead tax. Living in Fl, do your Chistmas Cactus bloom? Is there anything special you have to do to get them to bud? See what I mean about pruning a plant there? You pruned 7 months before the pic was taken. If I had pruned, it might be 7 years before looking like yours. LOL. There's a poster on Tropical forum named Fawnridge. He too lives in Fl. His gardens are beautiful, so serene. Count your blessings, have fun. Toni...See MoreHelp my identify these Hostas please? LONG
Comments (16)Wow Zafo, I'm certain your right, 1. and 5. are both Montana Aureo Marginata's. #18 does look like both Gold Standard and Pauls Glory. As I'm looking at the leaves closely it appears to me that the blue on the outside edge of the leaves stays on the outside edge only with Gold Standard. With Pauls Glory, the blue is also on the outside edge BUT, also kind mixes in more toward the center of the leave. It's seems to have a less defined blue edge. So, I think it's Pauls Glory. This Hosta gets VERY LITTLE light so the gold coloration really does not show up where I have it planted. #12, thats it, I do believe it is Venusta. So is #3. I split it a couple times. Believe me, I checked Venusta's picture against mine 2 other times but, for some reason refused to see it as so. I don't know why I missed this. Great, thats got to be it. #9, has got to be the same as #2. I just went out and looked, I can't tell them apart. So it must be Blue Cadet. Believe it or not, most of these are 5 years mature barring a move from one spot to another. Several are in locations where they get much too little sun and barely enough water. Well, I'm making progress. Heres what I have. 1 Montana Aureo Marginata 2. Blue Cadet 3. Venusta 4.Lancifolia 5. Montana Aureo Marginata 6. Venticosa 7. Golden Tiara 8. 9. Blue Cadet 10. Lancifolia 11. Sum and Substance or fried bananas? 12. Venusta 13. Lemon Lime 14. Halcyon 15. Halcyon 16. Lancifolia 17.Lancifolia 18. Paul's Glory That #8 is still a mystery. I do think it might have HVX. It does get enough sun and water. I'll have to go out and take a better picture soon. Thank you VERY much for the help. I can't believe I couldn't see some of them for what they are when looking in the Hosta Library. Those extra sets of eyes were GREAT. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Any ideas for number 8.?

Comments (44)Well I was wondering where the follow up comments for the Buda swap were! So glad I revisited this thread. I really enjoyed meeting you all and putting a face to some of the forum participants, learning about new plants and being on the receiving end of warm and generous swappers. I spent much of the afternoon after the swap finding a new home in my garden for all the plants although I will admit that I forgot what some are! And then I went online to google information about some of them and their care. Thank you so much Charlotte and swappers for making my first swap experience such a pleasant one and I hope to be much better prepared and knowledgable when I come to the next one. While I got to talk a bit with some of you, I feel there are many more who I'd like to get to know. Patty has been sharing some swap etiquette information with me and I hope you all will provide me a bit of slack if I overstepped, as I'm still a bit fuzzy about rules/etiquette and expectations. And I invite you to contact me if you have any advice or comments about our interaction as that will be a big help and an opportunity to get to know you. Already plotting in preparation for the next swap and might like to also bring some nonplant garden items to share with you. Cal...See MoreFavorite Yellow Daylilies of 2020
Comments (33)OK, I just went back through my photos and daylily list and I do have an embarrassment of yellows, I admit. Here are some of the ones I (thankfully for all of you!!!) did not post: Brocaded Gown, Bubbles Galore, Monkey Giggles, Siloam Amazing Grace (like Brad, one of my faves), Siloam Breeze, Spring Willow Song, Hope Diamond, Buttered Popcorn, Mary Todd, Sunday Sunshine, Sherry Lane Carr, Planet Claire, Heavenly Yellow Lion, Yellow Monkey, Sqidward Tentacles, Christmas Mimosas, Googies (due to enabler Maryl), Mister Butters, Bonnie Holly, Dilemma, Evelyn Kloeris, Moment in the Sun, Painted Softly, Banana Moon, Blonde is Beautiful, Omega Supreme, Concrete Blond, Childhood Treasure, Floyd Cove, Shaman, and Solar Music. Remember I have lots of acreage so I don't have to cull and some of these are older while some are newer ones. This list does not include my very first purchases which were of course mainly yellow!! I also have many yellow noids I inherited through my legacy gardens. Whew!! I don't suppose I need to remind anyone how much yellows make me smile!!! Kate...See Morebogdanovich5
