Thank you, Saltydad!

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Thanks Hollyberry lady! I never knew such a beauty of a pepper plant existed. I mean that Explosive Amber pepper plant. Really awesome. Is it edible?
|
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Yes, it is quite eible - and hot too!
: ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Just took this shot today, of my Aurora hot pepper plant. Some of the fruits are just beginning to change color, and more peppers are developing...
 : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
My two fig cuttings - dwarf Negronne, and Altreano. They are rooting in a glass of water. No roots yet, but the leaf buds are beginning to swell...
 These are my Bragmansia cuttings Kylis Pink and Rose Pearl - also rooting in a glass of water...  : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Those Brugs should grow great, and make your place smell very nice! I hope you manage to get a few blooms from them over the winter. That would be so summery feeling... :)
|
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Oh that would be so wonderful, Taylor!!!
: O I am sure going to try. I didn't know they were fragrant! I am tickled by this news. Do you grow them too? Someone just sent me the cuttings but I really don't know much about them. I am excited to grow them, now that you've informed me of the fragrant flowers. Thanks. : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
I used to have a white one- they smell FANTASTIC!!! Cool the way the blooms hang down, too. Didn't return in the spring like I thought it would.
Now all I have is a perennial Datura inoxa, which is fragrant but rather boring. |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Wow - they just sound awesome! Here's the four kinds I was sent...
~ Kylis Pink ~ Rosa Pearl ~ Harrenhouser Garten ~ Uconn Treasure How big do they get? Can you grow them in a container? : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Look in my gallery and try to find the Brugmansia gallery or just under Yard Shots or something. Not sure exactly where it is. I had one in a 3 or 5 gal. container bloom relatively frequently, but they do better in the ground (like most things). Almost takes a tree-like form in a pot.

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Banana Gallery - White Brug (died mostly while on Vacation)
There's the link. (Will delete if you request.) I swear it would have looked better if I didn't let it dry out so much! Oops- typically don't neglect things like that. |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Wow - thanks for sharing. No, a link doesn't take away from my photo album, so it's cool.
I am still in shock about these bragmansia plants. This is going to be fun. I'll show more pics later... : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
I look forward to seeing a picture of it's bloom for you!
|
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Just took these cute shots of Henry and couldn't help but post them. He's having fun on his blue blanket with his rubber rainbow ball...
   : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
What a sweetheart, I love parkeets, their singing is so wonderful and they have such great personalities! :waving:
|
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Thanks JustJoan!
Henry is more like a parrot than a parakeet, becuse he talks like crazy, and he has an extensive array of words and phrases in his repertoire! His personality is just adorable, and he's a real kissy face too. He's only three. : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
My Plumeria branch cutting is rooting really nicely now, and small leaves are pushing out from the tips...
 Thank you, Bob! : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
One of my Brugmansia cuttings is nearly ready to be potted up. The leaves are growing like crazy...
 : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
My Aurora variety, beginnning to change color. Notice how one of the fruits is nearly white?!!! I have never had a pepper plant that turned so many colors at once! When it's grown outside, it's spectacular...
 : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
This is my indoor commercial Chysanthemum plant - about to go into full bloom! It is over one year old and has tripled in size!
The flowers will be snow white and the petals look like stringy pipe cleaners. It is quite unique. I will show it again when the buds open fully.  It is loaded with buds everywhere...  : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
You have more cool stuff!!! My Plumeria finally bloomed this year, the plant is about 4 ft tall and the scent is wonderful, and that's after a squirrel took a bit of a bite out of the flower stalk (I hate squirrels) it has about 3 more that are to open, very proud of that one!

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
What color is your Plumeria?
: ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Here is a shot of last year's 'Black Velvet Rose' geranium that I grew from seed...

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Here's my Calicarpa, "Beautyberry" perennial shrub, now that the berries are turning purple. The fruits last well into Winter...
  |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
My Plumeria is a deep pink. The blossoms start out looking like peppermints pink and white stripe almost before they open and when they do they are a beautiful pink, will try to take a pic and post if I can. This is the hardest website to post pictures to, I follow all the directions and am having no luck. The new picture in my avatar is now what it looks like outside this morning!:coldbanana:
|
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Oh your Plumeria sounds gorgeous! Can't wait to see it - just not in this thread unfortunately. I created this thread to look like a sort of 'photo album' of all my on-going plants and flowers. I look forward to seeing it though.
Wow, you have snow already?!!! Ours is coming soon, so I shouldn't be all that surprised really. We had frost last night, and my morning glory vines are dead today! Old man Winter is on his way... : ( |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Here is my Aurora plant again. Just took this shot right now - do you see why it's my favorite?!!!
 : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Because it has 3 different colors one one little plant!!! Too cool.... very unique.
|
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Thanks, Taylor!
You know, it actually has other colors too - like orange, peach, white, light purple, and mauve!!! Just wait until it gets going. This is just the beginning! : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Now it has orange...

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Grew these "red currant" cherry tomatoes in a hanging basket, so I could bring them inside late in the season, and allow the fruits to ripen - which they are...

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
My white, one year old, indoor commercial Chrysanthemums (mums) just starting to bloom...

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Hollyberry's plant pictures just plain make me smile:discocrazed:
|
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Yes, Moonboy - it is a succulent, called "Burrito". It is the baby version of "Burro's Tail". Someone mailed some cuttings to me from the States and this is what they are growing into.
Here's another shot I took of it this morning...  Also, here is my 1st Chrysanthemum bloom opening up real nice today...  Thanks, JustJoan! Also Moonboy, I have over 30 gardening books that I've been studying for over 6 years, in my own personal time. I eat, sleep, and drink plants, if this is any indication of my obsession. Thanks for your comments. : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Sherry that beautyberry shrub is so pretty, very nice!
|
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Thanks Penny!
Of course you know that some Beautyberry cuttings will be yours in Spring. Do you know I ordered this shrub (actually I have two) from Prince Edward Island as a gift for my mom's garden? When she moved here, I brought the shrubs with me, and planted them in the ground here. These babies have travelled. The other shrub is a bit smaller, but it was heavily pruned so it should fill out next year. The berries last into Winter but the leaves fall off. It really is a pretty shrub. The cuttings root easily. : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Wow you have such cool plants. Henry is a sweet heart. I do have 2 parakeets but they do not talk. I wish they were.
Where did you get the Herrenhauser Garten brugmansia cuttings ? I want one. The peppers are cool too. I like the purple one. |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Got them from a friend in Cleveland, Ohio. I am pretty excited to see how they all turn out.
Thank you, Yes, I heard that parakeets kept together will not talk as much or at all. Henry has only me, and so he talks to impress me (his flock). His vocabulary is extensive, and he will even attempt to say something new within a few hours of hearing it, if it is repeated regularily. He is quite amazing. : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
More shots of my indoor ripening "red currant" cherry tomatoes...

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Those cherries look great Sherry and will be awsome in a salad!!
|
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Thanks, Penny. Yeah, I've been eating them in salads and they are just delicious! So sweet and flavorful.
Here's a pic I took this morning, of our back sun porch/foyer, with all my plants. That's my seed grown "Caerulea" passiflora vine, on the far right...  The Martha Washington Pelargnium, on the far left, just went into bloom for me. It's called "Berry Swirl". Here's a close-up of one of the flowers...  : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
What a great space Sherry!
The plants all look great |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Although these are not a perennial in our climate, they will bloom indoors as a potted plant, twice a year. My commercial white Chrysanthemums...
