Nice HBL, really nice. Have you ever tried also bonsais? Succulent bonsais, miniature trees...?

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
The picture from Texas looks like some kind of relative of Christmas Cactus. If it is, take it inside during the winter, it'll bloom when it's cold. :02:

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Yes, it will be very interesting to see how they all continue to grow. I really am getting into succulents. Someone is sending me some very colorful sedum varieties next that are out of this world!
I will show more pics of stuff later when it grows. : ) P.S. Thank you for the compliments - just glad you guys like the pics. More to come. Just goofing around with the camera again today - love to take shots of pretty peppers...  |

My morning glory vines that I grew from seed, late in the season...
They just started to bloom for me this week! There are two more colors expected, apart from the ones you see here...    : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
I have been growing this awesome houseplant for 6 years now, and the seeds are found inside the 'cherries' and I always have lots.
It is called Solanum Pseudocapsicum or 'Jerusalem Cherry' or 'Christmas Cherry'. It is a beautiful houseplant that used to be extremely popular in the 70's. If you watch old 'Three's Company' re-runs, you'll see lots of Jerusalem Cherry plants around. They are truly spectacular. They are poisonous houseplants, but then again, so is Poinsetta and a number of others. It develops fruit throughout summer and they ripen into the Fall, and last well into Winter. An extremely ornamental plant, that is very charming to have around. Here are my three seed-grown JC's that are full of pretty balls. I have one in my living room window, one in my kitchen window, and one in my bathroom window. I positioned them altogether, so I could get a shot of all three plants. It's a dark, rainy day, so the pics aren't as clear as I would have like, but here they are...   This shot shows the blossoms up close. When they die and fall, they leave behind a green 'cherry' that grow and ripens through shades of yellow, orange, and red. So pretty.  I usually include seeds for JC as complimentary, in my seed trades. People really enjoy it. : ) |

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
I Love All Your Plants But The Peppers Are The Best, Do You Grow Them All From Seeds? They Are Beautiful!

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Mostly all of them, yes.

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
This is my geranium that I grew from seed, in my living room window. It has been blooming for 7 months straight!
Over time, geraniums lose their old leaves and want to grow new ones. Even though my plant might not look super full at the present, wait until you see it in a month when all the new leaves that are growing have got bigger and filled in. I have been growing geraniums indoors all year round, for many years, and can keep them blooming non-stop. They are one of my most favorite flowers...   : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
This is my new 25-30' garden that I just cut out recently, to prepare for next Spring.
Keep in mind that it is just the bare basics right now, and most of the weeds haven't even been removed from between the fences yet. I think it is really too late in the season to care, and I will likely just let them die off, and then easily pull all the seedlings that emerge in Spring. Cutting out this garden really brought all my smaller gardens together. I also just bought 160 tulip bulbs that I am going to bury along this new garden, very shortly. I am so excited. I haven't done any soil amendments just yet, but I will before I bury the bulbs. Anyway, here it is...  : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Although I tried to get a third tree the same day I bought my second one, I was unable to because they were sold out.
: ( Much to my surprise though, about a week ago, I went to the same greenhouse, and low and behold there was a third one sitting over by the basil! : ) I was told someone returned it!!! Who in their right mind, would return a gorgeous specimen such as this?!!!... : O  |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
