Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Hey thanks you guys! :waving:
I was shocked to see it this afternoon, actually. The stalk and the blooms were hiding behind my shelf and I didn't even know until today when I was dusting that the plant had sent up another stalk that's now blooming! :eek: Talk about surprise...I was so happily stunned to see it there. :D A few months back the plant had a huge flower stalk on it that was loaded with flowers, but I cut it off by accident! I am so thrilled that it sent up another one though, while I've been ignoring it. :ha: I noticed it's more yellow and freckled in the center of the flowers than it has been in past years. Kinda cool. : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
I set up a small ornamental nursery last year. We now carry (some grown from seed) 10 types of Banana, windmill palm, japanese maples...etc... I am looking for new types of both Japanese maples , tropicals (cold hardy) and banana.

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
I get my Japanese Red Maple seeds from a gardener in Turkey...collected from his Crimson Queen weeping maple tree.
The seeds are never true to the parent tree apparently, but I've still had some very red and appealing seedlings come up for me. The seeds were in my fridge for 6 months before they popped. Good luck finding what you're looking for. ;) : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Succulent...
  "Polka Dot" cuttings taking off...  : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
The first one kind of looks like a snow covered christmas tree.

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Like the one from "Whoville" on the Dr Seuss Christmas special!!!

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
You're definitely right, you guys! That's so cool. Makes me love it even more! :08:
Here's my new Weeping Pussy Willow tree...  I totally loved them as a child and was so happy to find this special beauty! :D : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
I liked them as well
|
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Neat, Tom. ;)
It's more special to me because it was a childhood favorite. I didn't know they had weeping ones though! :goteam: It's like a little dwarf tree. There were only 2 left after I bought this one. I admit it was a bit costly, but I simply couldn't resist. I had no idea they were winter hardy to our zone! How cool is that?! :eek: Apparently, it's grafted. Hope it does well for me because I sure adore it. :D : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Rooted & growing weeping pussy willow cutting...

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
The lime green and pinkish growth is new on my Gaultheria Procumbens dwarf shrublet...

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
I grew this maple tree from seed and it got kind of neglected and in fact...I thought it was dead! :eek:
Today however, I noticed it was sprouting two new shoots from the "dead" branch...  : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
This mystery seed-grown geranium is going to bloom soon...
 Can't wait to see the color... : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
I'm really going to enjoy watching these burgundy variegated "Maverick Star" geraniums bloom soon...
 Siam Ruby from Bob, pretty red for wintertime...  "Hot Marble" Pepper from JaNan, in aero-garden...  : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Gorgeous shots as usual Sherry!
That burgundy leaf sure is pretty (close enough to purple for me :ha:) What color is the bloom on it? Yeah, that is real red for winter time! Good Job! I love plant pictures when they have water droplets on them. They look so clean and refreshed! ~J |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
"Maverick Star" is pink with white centers. ;)
I love the burgundy leaves too with the green edging! : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
New additions to my potted collection...
  : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Here's my mystery geranium about to bloom...
 You can see the bud...  : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Those are cool pctures Sherry... I bought a variegated rubber plant about aweek ago at Lowes (big box) for less than 3 dollars; of course it was in a 4'' pot.

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
If you can Drew...post a shot of it in the insomnia thread...
: ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
I'm sure enjoying these seed-grown surprise geraniums today...

I'm enjoying the redness of this rubber plant too...

My SDC today...
 Here's a red dwarf Canna leaf too...  : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
I placed my growing Gaultheria Procumbens in a cool window and the leaves are turning especially red as a result...
  : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Here's my seed-grown "little blue" hot pepper plant in my aero-garden today, with two little ones in the bottom right corner...
 : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
This is an excellent variety for people who want a high yield of large, fat cherry tomatoes, but who may not have a lot of sunshine to offer. This type does well indoors and it can even thrive in part shade! :eek:
It doesn't like a lot of fertilizer either, and it grows less than a foot tall...  I've been growing this type for 4 years now and it's just perfect...  : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Chocolate Mint this morning...
 Orange Mint cuttings under glass until they root...  : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Some of my roses on my dwarf Rose Tree are beginning to bloom...
 Sure cheers up a wet dreary day. :) : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Here's on of my Aloe Polyphylla seeds standing up tall tonight in my aero~garden...
 This is a very rare & unique succulent species that can spiral in both a clockwise and counter-clockwise direction. This link will show you what it's like... Aloe polyphylla | The Gem of the Drakensberg | Aloe Santa Cruz | Aloe Plants How unbelievably cool is that?! :eek: : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
YAY Sherry! Your aloe looks great!:woohoonaner:

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Still blooming in my bathroom window...

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
More of my "Table" tomatoes are starting to ripen today...
 : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Looking very tasty! Have you ever eaten fried green tomatoes? They are delicious!!!!
~J |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
I've heard they're good but I've never had them, JaNan. ;)
I removed some of the leaves off my tomato plant today so the sun could get more at the fruits. Try to refrain from jealousy! :ha:  I'm gonna use them all to make a pot of sauce to pour over pasta. Yummy!!! : ) |

 : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Beautiful as usual. Those tomatoes are making my mouth water too!
~J |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Sherry; I am curious as to why you would remove the leaves from your tomato plant. Won't the tomatoes ripen faster with more energy provided by photosynthesis from those leaves that are removed?
|
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
 It might be a concern when the leaves and plant are young Drew but I find that when the crop is ready and ripening, the leaves are old and yellowing anyway. I remove the ones that are dying off, to get more sun at my tomatoes. The great thing too is that when you remove a tomato leaf, another begins to grow in it's place within a few days. I'm still harvesting fruits from my plant. Here's a shot I took earlier today...  : ) |
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
I love cherry tomato plants! They are the ONLY tomato plant that did well for me. All the others get eaten up by bugs.
|
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Sorry Sherry; I had not seen in any other pictures that those leaves were dying! I would not thought anything of pulling those myself.
|
Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Mostly all the leaves are yellowing now Drew, but new ones are growing. ;)
Blake, I'm not sure if you're in this thread but here are a few of your "chilly" chili peppers today...  : ) |
