Looking good, Dean ...

Re: What is blooming in your garden today (other plants)?
 

nice looking canna boy i cant wate till my Cannes bloom.

buy the way i have an opportunity to get a RAVENALA MADAGASCARIENSIS- TRAVELLER'S PALM> i don't know if you all know this but there really not palms but a ancient type of banana what do you all think i know nothing about growing them should i go for it or not?

Re: What is blooming in your garden today (other plants)?
 

Go for it!:2237:

Re: What is blooming in your garden today (other plants)?
 

Well, it definately has a long history in Order Zingiberales. Whether the Family Strelitziaceae is an ancestor of Family Musacaea or instead the Genus Ravenala and Musa developed independently from a 3rd ancestor seems to be a matter of debate.

The tulips that my wife ad I planted last fall are coming up and starting to bloom. These are the early bloomers of the first 750 bulbs that we planted. they cover a distance of 30' along the front sidewalk. In the foreground is the first of the 250 daffodils breaking ground.

thanks Richard the relationship to Musa was something i read so I'm by no means and expert.
i just thought it was a quirky looking plant that mite look really cool in my ever growing and water hungry garden lol i still have my side yard to do its a plot of land approx. 50X35 east facing not what i would ordinarily consider a good growing spot as the sun is blocked allot of the day it gets only 5hr odd sun a day so i thought this plant mite be good as it can grow in a variety of lighting conditions and also because its so protected maybe would be a good spot for some of those plants that mite be marginal for my zone 9 conditions its also the location of my new green house (yet to be built) i want a sorta low light condition as I'm planing on moving allot of my orchids in to this green house there is a Small strip on the north end that gets full sun all day approx. 10ftx35ft but as the after noon sun is akin to a oven here i have to be vary conscious of what i put in to that spot i also want to add a water feature although i have nun now iv raised koi off and on for most of my 45 years water features can be tricky here they need allot of shade and extra aeration and have to be exceptionaly deep for an ornamental pond (sun) i want the water to sorta rap around the base of the green house that way when i opine the vents some of the humidity will get sucked up and in to the green house any way I'm sorta rambling now but that was the basis for the contemplation of the Travelers palm :sumbrero:

Re: What is blooming in your garden today (other plants)?
 

Damaclese, it's such a wild looking plant that if you have room for it and think it might survive, definately GO FOR IT !

Cassie

Re: What is blooming in your garden today (other plants)?
 

finally i have something blooming.

Re: What is blooming in your garden today (other plants)?
 

Not much in bloom yet, but here is my Purple Stokesia (Stokes Aster)
Just re-potted my Jade vine and several bananas. Have about 10 more bananas enroute ans some waiting for me to get to Las Vegas.
Hope you have lots of space Pauly!!! And definitely agree with you on getting the Travelers Palm. It might offer some respite from the sun/wind for the bananas.

Re: What is blooming in your garden today (other plants)?
 

Thank you Pauly, I went with gold fish. Koi grow bigger faster and are more destructive to water plants since I wanted some plants and my pond is only about a 1000 gals. I enjoy it a lot the sound of water.

John, good looking weigelas and dogwood thanks for sharing.

Ramon

Re: What is blooming in your garden today (other plants)?
 

Ramon - Where are you located ? Have you looked at Jarred's "Aquarium Forum"? I used to have a business importing aquarium fish, and selling them to pet shops. Your pond looks great.

Re: What is blooming in your garden today (other plants)?
 

Scott - if you should ever come across seed for Jade Vine - I would appreciate it if you could note the source and let me know. I have been trying to get one for ages and going around the viveros with a picture, but no luck!! Please post some pics when it flowers as the colour of the green/blue one is unreal. I have Jade Vine envy and I think it would grow well here!!

"Blue Girl" Rose


Joy Perfume Tree, my avatar, (Michelia Champaca var.'Alba'), sometimes referred to as "White Ylang-Ylang". Ylang-Ylang (Cananga Odorata) is the essence of Channel No. 5.

The fragrance is heavenly in my front yard and greenhouse.

My Ylang-Ylangs are several years away from blooming though. And they are hard to grow! My Champacas are from cuttings and graftings, so they bloomed since the first year I had them. They really had a tough time last winter, even though they were in the greehouse. Then in the spring, they dropped most of their leaves. I'm going to have to re-pot the ones in 6" pots to see if they'll turn green faster. Some of them are actually budding at this time, although they don't have too many leaves.

Re: What is blooming in your garden today (other plants)?
 

There's a big pile of top soil that the dozer pushed up when they formed up my shop . All over this pile I found Passionfruits!!!
I have no idea where they came from....I guess a bird pooped em' there ... but they are blooming like mad. :ha:
