Just in time for Christmas

3 years ago

First time blooming since purchase 5 years ago...JJ ELECTRIC. Was not happy at all in previous location, made huge hole in bottom of pot and put in sunny courtyard on top of soil 2 years ago. It has 2 inflows, blooming for 4 weeks now and looks like going till NYE. Nice scent when sun hits medium texture petals.
Have as great of a holiday season as you are allowed this year...CHEERS TO ALL!

Cold weather brings out the color!

Well, thank you! Do you mean the one with thick red margins, or the one with thin red margins? Since they both seem to be near the center. At 12 o'clock we have Aeonium hawarthia 'Pin Wheels'. Thin red margins. One o'clock a plant we ID'd tentatively, but I would have to look for the id. The bell like blooms have a blue edge, a most spectacular plant! 2 & 3 are Sempervivens of some kind. 4, 4:30 is a Graptoveria of some type, perhaps a Graptopetalum. The center plant is Echeveria 'Red Edge', a fine specimen. This one is about 4 years, maybe 5 in this pot. Thick red margins. The next at 6 straight down is Sempervivens arachnoidea (?sp) And the 10 o'clock position is Crassula 'Morgans Pink' as far as I know. It blooms about 3 times a year, and no, I have no conclusive ID to say it is MP. There are a couple of crassulas tucked up under, but they hardly can be seen. Let me know if there is a question about the specific plant you were asking about.

Christmas Brug & seed pod
Q
Comments (7)
They take about 6 months to ripen, give or take. The pod will begin to soften and discolor (not brown, just lighter)and the stem may yellow. I wait to open it until the pod is extremely soft. If the pod isn't soft when it comes off I'll let it sit a few days before opening. I've had pods with as few as 25 seeds and as many as 125, maybe more. You can call it whatever you want. Registering it is another story completely. It's always fun to grow a brug from your own seeds. Enjoy!

For the flower: http://www.planetjune.com/blog/free-crochet-patterns/poinsettia/ I just typed up the instructions for the basic pillow, double crochet square and somehow my message got rejected due to something wrong with the link or URL. When I went to correct it IT ALL WENT AWAY. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. If you need that, I'll do it again. -Babka

Oh, I found the same chart. Looks like you apply great/grand for nieces and nephews in the same manner you apply them for grandparents, great grandparents, great-great grandparents, etc. Congrats on your new grand nieces! Now my question is, do they call you "aunt" or "grand aunt?" LOL
