My Night Blooming Cereus -- tonight!
Comments (26)That's the problem I have here... no decent trees with limbs low enough to hang plants from in summer. I only have one... the French Pink Pussywillow shrub, which is actually more of a tree now. I've been pruning it to stay at a manageable size, and it now has some lower limbs that might be good for hanging a few plants on this coming summer. It's situated on the east side of a building, so it's sheltered nicely. I thought I'd summer over my orchids in its branches, and also some of my cacti type plants. My bulbs will either be staying indoors, or they'll come out if I can locate a fine mesh cloth to cover them with. I am not willing to share them with Narcissus Bulb Flies! By spring, I should have my indoor light situation fixed to my satisfaction. I'd love to take every plant I have outside for the nicer weather, but I just don't want to end up posting a horror story about destroyed bulbs! There have been too many posted already, and if nothing else, I've learned a thing or two about insect damage! Tomato cages are definitely within my budget, but I'm wondering if it would be worth it to purchase one of those gorgeous black wrought iron towers... the flowers of this night bloomer certainly deserve a special home! I look forward to seeing photos of your tree, complete with your Epiphyllum collection!...See MoreMountain Magic Opened tonight
Comments (12)My mountain magic is going to live. I'm so glad. The dog broke off the top and it started the rotting thing from the top down and I put wettable sulfur powder on it and it stopped it. Healed it right up. Now it has new growth sprouting. Yeah! Its really pretty. It probably is the heat that made the flower not last long. Mine didn't either and usually they last several days when its cooler....See MoreMindorensis's Grand Opening Tonight!!!
Comments (2)Thanks, Xuan! Here are two shots of the partially open umbel. I haven't noticed a scent but I read it's mild. I'll check for scent again this evening. Brad AKA Moonwolf...See MoreMore late May roses
Comments (13)Hello KS, Mind if I ask you about a couple of roses? I rushed in getting the climbers that I "thought" I wanted - Old Blush, Cl and Zephrine Drouhin, Cl. Both have done great in their first year and amaze me with the number of blooms I'm seeing. But, I'm suspecting that I planted the wrong rose. I needed a tall one to go over the eaves of a house. I'm thinking these two won't. Would you recommend Cecile Brunner, Cl? Kinda at a loss of what to do. Thanks for your response and for sharing roses that I've never seen in this part of Central Texas.
