Some early blooms
Comments (16)Thanks guys for your kind comments, Dave you're absolutely right, I love the Fool's Gold too, she smell great, I could smell her from far away.... Karen, I will post pictures of the Mini white soon, the ones in the pictures are thumbalina.. Nicole the Wild Wheel is really unique, I was lucky to find it the last time I went to John's. When she first opens up she is a deep pink w/ the color break then when she starts to fade the pink streaks become almost purple... Pics 1-3 Thumbalina 4th Tropical Spider, 5th Lucky Star, Celadine, Thai Running man, Thai Wild Wheel (8-10), California Sally, Thai Unknown (Dulcemia?), Fool's Gold, Maui Hanging Windmill, California Sunset, Gulfstream and San Miguel....See MoreSao Paulo is blooming
Comments (11)Hi All, Thought I would add a picture of my Sao Paulo. Of course, it looks like no one elses. The coloring is similar to Apple Blossom but compared, this one has a huge 9 inch flower. Not sure if that counts or not but this was just stunning. Nancy...See MoreWill be packing soon for our trip to the Azores
Comments (4)Anne, on this trip we are just going to Sao Miguel, the biggest island in the azores. There is another trip we will be going on maybe later this year or for sure next summer, through the travel agency in Toronto, that organizes these tours that includes all the nine islands of the azores. It is a 3 week tour. Are you close to Toronto, Ontario, with the Canadian dollar down, the 9 island tour would be very reasonable in US dollars. I believe it is around $3600 Cdn, includes everything except for some meals....See MorePineapple plants on Pico island (Azores)
Comments (9)tropicbreezent - I have a São Miguel "Ananás dos Açores" label tag in my hands taken from the pineapple that I ate. I believe Costa Rica grown ones (that they sell here too) are GMO, but Azores-grown pineapples and most or all (?) vegetables and fruits afaik are naturally grown, without genetical modification. The tag explains exactly what the article wrote. São Miguel island pineapples are smaller. No, they are not called "Saomiguelense" or "Saintmichael's" or anything like that. I doubt that. But you can call them that, it's no problem. The end of the tag has the following text: Comissão Técnica de Certificação e Controlo - IAMA Rua do Passal, 150 - 9500 Ponta Delgada Tel.: 296 650 710 Fax: 296 653 707 Call them, they probably have someone who speaks English. I suspect if one tests the genetic compound of the pineapple grown on São Miguel island, it would probably have different structure etc. than others. I am only amateur grower, except I have almost 10 years growing experience of variety of palm trees. Currently am testing variety of exotic palms and trees on Pico island with very different success. P.S.: Pico has a lot of banana plantations with smallish very tasty bananas. They also sell imported bananas here in the supermarkets. Ananás are two varieties: Costa Rica and Azores....See MoreSueb20
