Anyone into Plumerias in San Antonio or San Antonio area?
Comments (17)I am a plumeria grower and I live in Alice. I purchased 1 each of several colors a number of years ago and then did a swap for 2 unknowns; I've been hooked ever since. When I was on Kauai a few years ago I collected quite a few sticks from around the island and brought them home with me. I've also gotten quite a few cuttings from a lady on O'Ahu who has a Yahoo group. She collects cuttings from around the island then sends them to group members who pay the S&H costs. I also got several plants from Tally today at the SA plant swap. I have none that are named varieties, or at least I don't know that I do. I'm not really worried about names as much as I am about beauty and variety. At present I have 16 semi-grown plumies (4-6' tall), the 3 plants I got today and 5 large rooted cuttings. Not a huge collection, but I'm just getting started. ;-)...See MoreSolid Green Sans
Comments (8)If I found a solid green with no crossbanding, I would assume it is hahnii jade--just because they do have that one sometimes. It does get about 8" if real happy.H jade is a robust growing fine sans. There are tall growing solid green sans that I have seen pictures of, but never seen in person. I have trifasciata black robusta which is a fine looking black leaf. It does not have the best name--robusta is a species desert cylindrical sans totally unrelated to my plant. Mine is like a black futura-a wide leaf,14"tall , crossbanded at the bottom, loosing the bands as it goes up and turning black in age. Johanna...See MoreName That Sans
Comments (12)Norma, I'll do my best. Sports are found growing in large old clumps of a know species. In this case Sans. trifasciata. It is when an offshoot pups out different than the parent. The first that I know is Sansevieria trifasciata 'Hahnii' in 1941. It is know as the birdnest, because of its small structure compared to the standard trifasciata. The next big introduction was S. trifasciata 'Nelsonii' in 1944, then S. trifasciata 'Bantel's Sensation' 1948, 'Silver Hahnii', 'Golden Seam Hahnii', 'Golden Hahnii' all patents in 1953. All this and in only one of more than 70 species of Sanseveria. With the new rave and hi prices paid for different variegations, some nurseries are doing some shady tricks to induce sports that usually revert back to the original. Some take, some don't. Buyer beware. Norma is the real pro here. How did I do? Stush...See MoreHAVE: Austin/San Antonio Spring Plant Swap April 21
Comments (42)Thanks everyone for pitching in and being part of another great swap! I finally met my goal of not bringing home any of my own plants and giving away more plants than I took home. (It only took three years of swapping to make that happen!) As usual we had plenty of plants, food, door prizes and fun! We had a total count of 23 attending the swap. There were people from north, south, east and west of beautiful downtown Buda. Next time I need to remember to bring some paper bags because I think some of the newbies were about to hyperventilate when they saw all of the great plants and friendly generous people they were meeting. We had a variety of gardening items besides plants. A nice couple from Columbus came and brought some worm castings to share. When we were packing up two ladies pulled up in an SUV and wanted to get rid of a lot of pots and gardening items. Of course much to their surprise and delight we had to fill the SUV up with plants. We have such a great generous group and for those who didn't make this swap you were missed and we hope you will join us next time. I can't wait to get together again in October! Thanks Again, Charlotte...See Moreakrrm (Nancy in NJ 7a)
