Trying to Identify a Survivor
Comments (24)I'll find out what our HS is and ask if they can dig up some info for me. Maybe I'll call one or several of the local papers, show them some photos of ones I've found, and see if I can get them to do something on it, if I can remain in the background, don't like publicity. That could throw me off track though. Also, something may have been written up in the past that I missed as I've just gotten hooked on these roses since 2003 when I found the Harison. Actually it started when I was a little girl and across the street was an arbor with something like a Fr. Hugo on it. From there, I found one growing as a hedge when my children were small back in the 70's and asked the people if I could have some seeds, was clueless about propagation in those days and no one to share my interest, so it has been dormant until lately. I'm waaaaay behind in my knowledge about these old roses, can't stop me from looking for them and trying to propagate them, photographing them, and just plain enjoying them. If I didn't have anything else to do, I should dig in and start researching myself starting at the library. They are extremely helpful there. Maybe in the winter I will do that....See Moretrying to identify a 3 ft. tall cactus w/ arms
Comments (5)Thanks farmerted361. Thanks a lot for the url with photo but I don't think this is it. The petals don't look quite the same but mainly the center of the flower looks different. Course it's been some time so I could be remembering it incorrectly. What would be more helpful would be to see the actual cactus itself. I think I could more easily identify that. I looked to the websites that you suggested but havent' had any luck yet. I'm going next to look at the night blooming cereus. I am amazed by all of the knowledge from people in this forum. What an amazing group of enthusiasts!!...See MoreHelp! identify possible tomato disease???
Comments (16)Emma even before I read Dawn's post I had doubts if your issues were TSWV. I will list a few reasons. Last year and again this year I've had some of the same looking fruit that you have picked. I still haven't figured out what causes it. Most of the time fruit picked from a plant with a disease whether TSWV, the Psyllid Yellows or a few others where they ripen with the mottled look don't ripen to red when picked and left to ripen. And most of the times if you cut the fruit open it will have some off color many times a whitish tissue in spots. And when tasted will not taste good. I had 2-3 plants last year that had fruit ripen like yours. Two of the plants produced all season and many of the fruit on the plants never exhibited the coloring issue. I did lose one but felt it was to the disease issue I never got a diagnoses on that many others had also. I did pull one plant and sent it in when I sent those with the other problem to K-State to verify it didn't have TSWV. They said it didn't. They felt all of my issues were environmental. I don't feel the one issue was but beginning to think the mottled coloring might be. Sunday I picked the first mottled one. It was smooth. Then another Tuesday. It was rough and more blotchy which concerned me some but the plant looks fine and shows no signs of any issue. Then I picked a normal one from the same plant yesterday I believe. I will continue to watch it. Last year like I stated the two that survived produced all normal colored fruit later in the season. Much like a person will see with BER. The coloring does seem a bit odd. With the recent cool spell and the one morning around 52 I've had some plants show some purple coloring especially on the new leaves opening but it doesn't concern me. It is nothing more than an issue with the plant not taking up the needed nutrients like you will see in the spring on plants. I looked at a plant yesterday and the only issue were the purple tint even on a few veins. Again I will watch it but not concerned at this point. Now to what I watch of with TSWV and the other insect born diseases. I look for the veins turning purple. Many times the over all color will take on a lighter color many times with a yellowish tint. The plants with usually quit setting fruit and the blooms will turn yellow and die before opening. The fruit if it ripens will become mottled, rough and many times slightly shrivel. And it usually will ripen mottled and like mentioned above if tasted have an unpleasant taste. The plants will become stunted. I pulled one last week. Many of the plants I planted in early June that I started have been on a growth spurt. This plant was as big as it's neighbors one week and a 1/3 smaller the next. That along with the new growth being off colored, the veins on some leaves were purple and the plant color overall diminished convinced me it was diseased and probably TSWV. The other reason I leaned that way was a week earlier I yanked a plant in the same area that for sure was TSWV. The problem with diagnosing plant issues during this weather is most of the time you have multiple issues going on. The temperature along with the winds we've had at times the last few years create extreme stress. A healthy unstressed plant many times will fight off a disease. Then when stressed and it's system is weakened it will sucumb to it. When I yanked the one earlier this week the Black from Tula plant on one side of it was showing stress issues. The leaves were curled bad. But due to the leaf color, the fact it was producing new green leaves and stems and viable blooms I decided that at this time stress was it's only issue. The cooler days helped it. Sure the heat over the next few will slow down the improvement. Stress can have effects in many ways. I planted a grafted Mortgage Lifter plant in early June I bought at a local greenhouse. It was very gangly and one stem was broke off. It had a few blooms when I bought it but no fruit. Within 10-12 days 6 fruit had set on the blooms that were present when I bought plus one truss that opened after I transplanted it. The first three started blushing this week and I picked them to relieve the load on the plant as it has set more fruit. All 3 were in the 2 oz range. Not near what the fruit size should be. Color ect are all correct. The plant has started doing well. I feel the later fruit will have a chance of being much larger. In fact none of the fruit I've picked so far from any variety has been average size for the variety they are. Again I feel that the size will improve greatly later on. I haven't had a lot of fruit set yet but hope too over the next 3-4 weeks. I picked my first Sungold yesterday. It was on a plant planted in mid June. The Sungold I planted in mid May still hasn't produced one. The Sweet Treats is loading up now. It has always been a reliable producer here. Early Girl for once was the first one this year. It has kept kicking out a few. It beat 4th of July planted at the same time. Back to your plants. Personally I wouldn't yank it. I would taste the fruit. At the worst it will taste bad and you will spit it out. I ate my mottled, rough fruit tonight( although after ripening it was basically smooth and red color throughtout the inside) and it had the best flavor of any I've ate so far this year. So I expect yours too taste ok. If it develops further symptoms then you can. I had the same impression of your container size that Dawn did. The size should be enough. I changed my containers to a new mix this year. The same mix I put in my raised beds. I thought they were wet enough. I set a few contaoners out in the open with full sun and more wind exposure. I figured out that due to the heat of the containers that they needed more frequent watering. I also moved them closer to some shade and put mulch up around the containers and now they are taking off. Gardening is a gamble every year. If the current predicted temps hold then I would of been better off starting more plants earlier. But at planting time I expected the drought to continue along with the heat & wind of the previous two summers. And in June it did especially the first 20 days of June. Since then temps have moderated with only a few 100 plus days. There is the possibility of 1-2 this next week but over all unless they make some extreme changes in forecasts the next 14 days don't show many 100 plus days. And the winds have moderated some also. The next 5-6 weeks will determine my season. Now all I can do is set, wait and watch them and see what happens. Jay...See MoreTrying to identify some house plants from HD
Comments (14)Yes when researching plant demands I saw that the last was a croton. Just funny HD wouldn't even give it a label or tag saying its a croton. I plan on repotting tomorrow, so i will be flushing very well and spreading roots out in coir. Im trying to convince the ol lady to set up a flood n drain table and go full hydro on them but she is reluctant. I'm going to start out using my tried n true maxigro fert (10-5-14) but dont know where to begin on strength. Actually quite hard finding specific hydro info on houseplants....See MoreDonnie
