I couldn't help myself
Comments (19)Well I'm flattered you'd ask but I'm better with visual aids! ...and would surely defer to Tropic's expert advice since I can only imagine a jungle. The plants sure are in close quarters in them, from what one sees in pics. Trying to duplicate that in pots may not necessarily be a great idea, you know I'm just flying by the seat of my pants (since you're stolen my dress!) but it makes perfect sense to me, we'll see... Maybe you could add a pic of the double pot next to the Philo in question that you're considering adding to it? We've seen the double, but next to each other would leave no question about size/scale. For a stake, I'd try to find something metal (for free, repurposed, that's how I roll...) If the plants get meshed together, aerial roots attached to stake, you probably aren't going to want to mess with that to repot. (And of course you will be repotting in the future, of course the plants will do GREAT!) And BTW, you look fantastic in heels! I'd keep dressing up if I were you....See MoreQueen Mary 2, I couldn't help myself
Comments (8)My experience with white roses (Mme Hardy, Mme Legras de St Germain, Thomas Lipton, and another rugosa, Souvenir de somebody) is that after rain storms, they look droopy at best, messy and soiled at worst. Three days of rain - THREE DAYS - and often heavy. QM 2 in pot on exposed deck - two buds half opened, two showing white all around, on Tuesday. And then the rains came. Skies cleared yesterday - and thiose two buds are nearly full open, the tighter two just breaking, and all four are pure white and clean. The upright habit is unusual for my collection of mostly shrubby and ogr stuff, and will deserve a focal point in the new garden....See MoreI couldn't help myself...
Comments (23)I am reading this thread which was sent to me by Bev, after I spotted two cats. in my parsley and did not recognize them. I have grown a butterfly garden for a few years, seen several monarch cats., one chrysallis (which was gone the day after I saw it), and although I have grown parsley for over 15 years I have never seen a BST cat., in fact the only time I saw a BST was several years ago in a lilac bush. Sadly, only one of my cats. remains. It is growing well and this morning I spotted it munching away. The parsley plants seem no worse for the moment, they seem to prefer the curly over the Italian. Still wondering if I want to grow them. Lots of interesting informtion here. I just wanted to know what the result would be. I also wonder what the major predators are. I will look it up. Thanks for all the info. Northerner....See MoreI couldn't help myself . . .I bought another . . .
Comments (11)Three Indian Ringnecks, a Meyer's Parrot, a Pacific Parrotlet, a pet American Parakeet and a colony of 'keets. Got an albino female living in the nest box, right now. Hopefully we've got some eggs in there!!! I've heard yellow-napes are the best talkers of all the amazons! Would love to see a pic. Feel free to email me one!!!
