Kierabel looks better than it did last year

I keep showing Terry Lyninger, it may be bloomed out before long, it just has had a bouquet every day

Fried Green Tomatoes with a much larger bloom than last year

I think this is Lonesome Heart. I moved LH a couple of years ago but failed to tag it. Only thing is, the plant had dropped down to only 2 or 3 fans, but i seem to have it in 2 places. Last year they looked just alike, so i assume maybe i put a fan separate. Both have multiplied a lot. This year they are not blooming quite together, and other one is slightly smaller. Mississippi man looked similar too. Hopefully i can figure it out, really is pretty.

Not a good pic of Abby Davisdon, it always seems to be spitting and flowers will not look at each other, really is pretty on person with those big blooms

Screen Pattern spread out all over

Time Lord, a little splotchy

And two Sue's with several blooms

I have several more with multi blooms but have probably already tested Houzz patience, and yours !

Last year, my bulbs were in lawless conditions. I bought a children pool and put them in it in their pots. It was easier to water them this way. I just poured the water in and they all got some. But then some rains came and completely drenched the bulbs. They were neck up to the water and they stayed that way for a long time by the time I noticed it and let the water away. So I ended up with most of the bulbs shrunk to tiny bulblets that I didn't think would even survive. Then I had to move to the new house, so I unpotted them, cut the leaves and put them in the new wine cooler I bought for this purpose to make sure that the bulbs do not freeze down. A month later I noticed that the wine cooler froze down and even killed about 10 bulbs. I returned it to the store and just bought a huge standing fridge that had the freezer part separately. I kept my bulbs in that fridge. Then I planted them up from Summer, hoping that they would still come back to me. And to my amazement: More than 50 percent FLOWERED! They shrunk, they were sitting in water, they froze down, they were in dormancy for a half a year or LONGER, and they BLOOMED! I am still floored by some of them. Now, they are out in the flower bed, fattening up. I hope they enjoy the situation. So you see, once they want to bloom, they just bloom, even if they kill themselves.

NBJ reminds me of Bouganvilla - it thrives on neglect . Those cut back take longer to bloom than those left alone . My original plant was cut to almost nothing and is returning with beautiful growth - no flowers yet . Cuttings that are several years old and received no trimming have buds but no open blooms - yet . You may be just far enough north of us that it might take a week or two longer for your plant to set buds . NBJ seem to like plenty of sun and to be in the ground . Cuttings practically root before your eyes . My best performing NBJ is directly under a strong security light that runs all night long . I think that no matter how much or how little you do for this plant , it will survive and do just fine . I recommend planting it in the ground . Then start cuttings and put those in the ground in different places under different conditions . That experiment will tell you more about your own garden and plants than we ever could .

Some people refer to Epiphyllum oxypetalum (Night Blooming Cereus or Dutchman's Pipe) as "Christ in the Manger". It's a night-blooming orchid cactus which is highly perfumed. Here is a link that might be useful: pic and info

Hi Lilo, Glad to "see" you here. Drying out is good after a storm and the after rain smell. Hope all is well and not too much work to get it all back in order. Temp is 91 and windy here today so diversity in Cal. is alive and present. No more than a few sprinkles here the last couple of weeks. .This new place is getting mixed reviews including from me. One benefit hopefully will be more traffic on the individual GW forums. Hope the new traffic is good people that will add to the community.

Whew, this is work today. 1st my posts were not showing up, then they all showed up and had trouble deleting. Not my day. I think I deleted a couple I wanted to post, and comments, questions. But not pushing it, LOL!

Your seedling is pretty, Nancy. Gorgeous clump of Terry Lyniger. Malaysian Marketplace is a pretty thing always. Prickly Sensations is a pretty one. Your Fried Green Tomatoes bloom is very nice. the blooms on mine are very numerous but not quite so large. Nice one,.

I like the colors on the Butterfly Moon and Fern Stone seedlings. The Pandora's Treasure seedling looks good too! The pink you think is Lonesome Heart is my favorite of the registered ones. I always like Two Sues and Subtle Knife.

Nice group of seedlings. I especially like the first two. Of the named varieties Fried Green Tomatoes catches my eye. I also like Two Sues (ours should bloom for the first time this year) and Terry Lyninger.
