Wink Thank you, Bob!
Just wanted to say thanks for all the amazing plants you sent me a week ago from New Jersey. I just love them!



This thread will be a place for me to show off all the cool stuff you gave me as it grows and matures. Here today, are the pair of Super Dwarf Cavendish banana pups. As you can see, they are already growing beautifully...





Here too today, is that beautiful Yucca Rostrata perennial succulent called "Sapphire Skies". It's already sprouting new leaves from the center. What a gorgeous specimen that will be someday!




Maybe when you return from your trip, you can post a shot of your mature plant, for others to see here also.


For those curious...


This plant will be short and elegant (4 feet) and over the years the leaves become a powder blue color. It can handle temps as low as -25°C...-15°F!!!

: o

What a totally cool plant. I might stick it out in the garden. When I saw yours Bob, I just had to have it. Thanks so much for buying me a seedling at the nursery. You're the best! I just hope mine is as stunning as yours is someday.

Those Cavendish babies are quite fat for their height, maybe you shouldn't feed them so much, Holly.
Nah, but really, looking good!

Here it is Patty. Isn't it stunning?! Over the years it develops a stout trunk. This was Bob's post from another site...

The only difference between the one in Bob's picture and the one he sent me, is that "Sapphire Skies" only gets 4 feet and the leaves will be much more blue in time.

Also trying to root the "Sticks on Fire" cutting you sent...





It doesn't like to be covered and wants to be in total shade. Hope I can get it to root...

Joy Re: Thank you, Bob!
Good news...


Last night I dug up the 'sticks on fire' (Euphorbia Tirucalli) cutting to see what was going on and noticed some thick white roots developing!


: o


How cool that I got it to root after only a little over a week. Thanks so much for it Bob.



Have I told you that you're the best?!










Here's how it will look someday...









What a beauty! Can't wait for you to return, so you can see how great your stuff is looking...

Thanks Hollyberry, just got back from my anual fishing trip and it was nice to see this. I know you'll do well with them.

Welcome back, Bob!



Glad you like the thread. After that great box you sent stuffed with fantastic plants, how could I not thank you and make a big deal of it?!


Couldn't wait to show you...


Yesterday, I transplanted one of the SDC's you sent into my Lily garden! It will get sun from 7:30am to 7:30pm!


Anyway, here it is this morning, loving it's new home...





Can't wait to watch the difference between one grown in the garden, and one grown in a pot in my south window. Totally cool.

Here too is the 2nd Plumeria cutting you sent. Hate to point out what it resembles. Then again, I don't think I have to! ....





It's already got a bud on it! I think it's rooting nicely.


Here too is your pink Columbine...





The leaves that were on it when you sent it, all yellowed and died, which is normal from being in a box for over a week, but the roots began to quickly send up new leaves...





It's going in my garden beside my purple "winky" Columbine...





I think the pink and purple will be nice together.


Also too, here's one of the Basjoos you sent...

Check out my indoor SDC pup today, Bob...





You won't find even one spider mite on it either! I shower it three times a week.


I am so grateful to you for sharing this variety with me. I just love it.
