Houseplants October 2016 pics...
Comments (90)Karen, the blooms of C. woodii are indeed unusual. There is a variegated form available so you might look for it. Your hydroponics grown sans is interesting. I don't know much about hydroponics, but your system is obviously a basic one. So you just pour the same water over and over thru the medium into the bucket below? A brief primer is appreciated. chippedchinaplate, aroids have been my favorite group of plants for over 40 years and I'm always looking for one more, especially philodendrons and aglaonemas. Brasil is variable and with time and size they often produce narrow and wide slashes of variegation on leaves of the same plant. Reiger begonias are tuberous and won't grow well here in Florida because of the heat, they like cooler temperatures. Because of this I don't grow them, but I do love cane and rhizomatous begonias. I've grown zonal geraniums over the years but not recently. You should have propagated them a couple of months ago when temps were warmer, but if you still want to try it's an easy process. Take 6 inch cuttings, take off all the bottom leaves and flower stalks, then plant into a very porous mix. Peat moss or any light, peat-based commercial soil mixed 50-50 with perlite is fine. If you're using 5-1-1 for your other plants, just mix some extra perlite with it. Water the cuttings well and put the pot into a 1-gallon zip lock plastic bag to keep humidity high. Place in a bright location but no direct sun. If droplets form on the inside of the bag, open it slightly for a while so it can dry out. Bottom heat always works better for propagating in winter, there are heat mats available for this purpose but I've never used them. Russ...See More2016 November Block Lotto

Comments (25)Susan: Your beautiful Japanese maple somehow reminds me of Lucille Ball in all her glory. It makes me smile. Bob Lem: I hope your lilac is saving some blooms for spring! A few non-flower pictures: My two Ilex opaca 'Goldies" are beginning to develop yellow berries and they coordinate nicely with the climbing hydrangea fall foliage. The white pine 'Nivea' is covered with cones: And an old birch that's on its last legs (or would be if it had legs) has developed a nice collection of bracket fungi AKA shelf mushrooms: Since none of them seem to have squirrel bites I suspect they're not edible, or at least not tasty (not that I was going to try them myself).

Comments (11)Yesterday I wasn't able to get photos to load, but here is our first snow of the year. It was supposed to be just rain, but we got both more precipitation than expected and colder temperatures, so some of it came down as snow late afternoon. It made a messy commute since it wasn't predicted. Like a couple of others, my Iberis/perennial candytuft is still blooming, even after a couple of nights in the lower 20's and the heavy, wet snow. Magnolia 'Leonard Messel' is a three season plant in my garden, with spring flowers, fall color, and huge silver buds on gray branches all winter. Since it's in a perennial bed with lots of more interesting flowers and foliage during late spring and summer, it is just part of the background in warm weather. Here it is last week before the high winds stripped it of foliage. Prior to this rich chestnut color, it was a beautiful clear yellow for a couple of weeks when nothing but Fothergilla, dogwood, beech, and oak still had foliage color....See Morechippedchinaplate
