some pics of my garden - warning - bright colors
Comments (21)Hahaha, well my lawn looks like it belongs on some kind of a terrible rental property... the green bits are huge patches of crab grass and the rest is yellow! There's a small farm/nursery on the south side of Hwy 2 just east of Lakeridge Road - do you know it? It used to be called Lilac Farm, I think. For some reason because it's smaller, I can organize my thoughts better and I seem to be more efficient when I go there. That's where most of my money goes, although I do a lot of looking and dreaming at V's, I only buy there what I can't get at this other little place. The bigger the place is, the more I seem to aimlessly wander around, wanting everything and getting nothing. Eliza Ann, send me an email any time, if you like!

Comments (11)Well, as promised, here are a few photos: First one is the solid green mother plant: Second is the stolon and its branches: Third is a closeup of the mostly white baby on the stolon: And another: And a closeup of one of the leaves. Its kinda blurry, but I think you can get the idea. Notice how the verigation on the leaves that do have some green, is very odd? Its not even close to your typical white edges w/ green centers, or green edges w/ white centers. Is way more stripped, and the stripes are uneven, and different on each leaf. The mostly white leaves are white , save for a thin green strip on the very edges. I would be happy to give some of these away, once the plant matures and produces more. These are still very young. The stolon has not even bloomed yet, and there is not a single sign of ariel roots forming on the babys. I usually will not remove the babys until they have well formed arial roots. The top photo, was the "big green baby" that was still on the mother plant, and had massive ariel roots. I placed it in water and within a week it started producing the big fat white, hairy roots (soil roots). Ill try to post a few more pics of my other spider plant today. The babay that is on that was is getting very big, and has a good set of ariel roots beginning to grow. however, that baby already has been promised to someone. =o( That plant is mostly gree, with white and yellow verigation on the very edges of its leaves. The baby it has produced is just about identical, maybe alittle more yellow in its verigation....See MorePlease. let's see some of your summered plants here! Pic
Comments (73)Hey everyone. Been a while since I've posted here, but I'm loving seeing everyones plants so much that I thought I'd share some of my favorites with everyone as well. My oldest Thanksgiving cactus. It'll be 4 years in January. It doesn't look like much, but I'm thrilled with it 'cause it lost all its segments during the spring and I think it's coming back quite nicely. Opuntia santa-rita. One of my favs. Will be 2 years in April. Jade ovata 'Gollum'. Turned 2 in September. Haworthia fasciata. Really like this one. 1.5 years old. Philodendron scandens. 3.5 years old. Another Phildendron. Not sure of its exact name. Only 6 months old. Dracaena deremensis 'Yellow Stipe'. My mother can't grow these worth a bean, but mine's doing quite well I think. Will be 3 years in May. Dracaena marginata. Turned 4 in September. Ficus elastica 'Black Prince'. 2.5 years old. Hildewinteria aureispina. Will be 3 years in April. Coleus blumei. Looks quite pathetic right now but that's because I just cut it back hard. It always grows back beautifully. I'm proud of this one because Coleus plants are classified as annuals and this one is turning 3 years next month (Decemeber). Hope I didn't post too much. Thanks for sharing everyone and thanks for looking at mine....See MoreHow about a list of VERY unusual hosta? (pics. please)
Comments (50)I have 'L.S. Downsized' as well as 'Blue Haired Lady' (originally sold to me as 'Old Coot'). I love BHL, but LSD is a mini that you can easily overlook. If I have time I'll post a pic of BHL. The leaves are like the ears of a Lop eared rabbit. They're satiny and a cool shade of blue. I'm still looking for 'Old Coot', to keep my BHL company (poor thing). Yes Janice I can start a thread on secret gardens or grottos...that is if I ever get mine made. Right now its just a pic in my mind. Donna ;o)...See Morebarbmock

Absolutely amazing and we thank you for sharing that. Boy, I don't think I have ever seen a rise like that excpet for day this past January too. I will post it. I love looking at the sky, next to looking at my plants. It must be nice up there with highs in the50's down here lately.
Nancy, I am so happy you gave me a piece of this Aloe. I love it. The yellows are amazing let me tell you. What's that little plant next to it? You se that watch chain variegated you have, the mother plant died(( Just might have to aks you for a baby soon. lol Glad it's doing well for you.
Beautiful pictures, so much brightness and pics that make you feel good inside.
Lars, where do you drum up all these amzing plants??? Wow, what color on those flowers, huge too. Thanks.
Daxeek, I feel the same as you. I love the way the sun hits certain plants. It's so uplifting. Beautiful plants, some of which I have not seen before. Very nice. You got a morning glory leaf? Wait until you see the light that shown from the actual flower last summer. I sewar they all had glow lights in them pulling into my driveway one morning.
Barmock, that is a very unusal very white colored Sans. I would of bought one of those if found one. You must love those colors. Barbmock, I also love that FINLAYSONII. I have one that I have rooted and can't wait fo it to flower. Love the fragrance and the colors against the sun.
Charlene, my goodness. Talk about a plant that lights up! That is cool. And, it's in a perfect shape. You must treasure this one.

5 years agoMike, that's my variegated gollum it's just starting to regrow! It's been slow as molasses, I've been watching over it like a hawk, soon as it dries and if it's sunny it gets water & (sometimes) food. I'm just waiting to enjoy it, come on Spring growth :)
I don't think I showed ya these, this was the morning of the Pat's parade...
Notice the double rainbow too!
Such gorgeous sky pics, Mike, eye candy for the soul. I love that Cattelya, at HD earlier I looked at the Orchids and they were just the common Phals.
You lost your variegated watch chain?! Ohh no! Goodness it was the hardest thing ever to root and now it's finally growing. Soon my dear friend, with some food and Spring weather it will get some more growth, if I remember correct they grow taller like 4" or 5"? right? . The leaves are sooooo freaking small no wonder its a tough one to keep alive and well, it can just dry up in a blink... I've been keeping my eyes on it as so fragile.-Nancy

Creeds, I love it!! The plant is a hottie, lol.
Sure thing Mike, I’ll feed it more often. Thanks. I take a lot of pics, I think plants and cats are tied. When opportunity to take sky pics I take a ton, nature is infinite with beauty. Your sunset on the beach pic with rainbows is crazy gorgeous!!! I think that’s a new goal this summer, sunrise and/or sunset at the beach ;)
I just got this beauty at Lowe’s!
