Hi Hazel,

The Vietnamese do great things with Bougainvillae and other plants in what I call “potscaping”,
similar to bonsai. There are quite a few photos here, if you are interested:
Potscaping Vietnam - a set on Flickr

Unfortunately there are not a lot of English speakers in Vietnam and those who are, work in
tourism, hotels etc., not as gardeners. Therefore I have seen the results of their art, but
could not ask how they do it.

I have real problems with my Bougainvillae, mostly stemming from the fact, that I have to
keep it inside from October through March and even in April I have to take it inside every
time frost threatens. By the time it is well under way with recovery, it is almost fall again
:(

When I trim it back this coming autumn I will try to root a few of the cuttings, so I have
something to experiment with. Maybe I can keep it small enough to grow it indoors
permanently.

Best,
Olaf

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

Part of my “jungle garden”

The rose on the right is actually a groundcover- or carpet rose, but instead of nicely crawling
along the ground at a height of about 2’, it chose to climb up my “dizzy prune” tree and is now
topping out at well over 6’.

The bananas behind it are a pad of basjoos and the one to the left is a M. Ornata sharing the
top pot of a pot pyramid with a canna tropicana.

Maybe a little boring compared to the tropicals here...

Two of my rose bushes have blooms.

Both are scrawny blooms, the orange is especially small although it often has a few blooms at once. The red is a nicer rose, more classic in shape but also small. Ahh well, happy they have blooms!

My crazy Home Depot Anna Apple was dying rapidly a month ago. I re-potted it into a 16 gallon $5.00 Walmart plastic barrel with Jungle grow potting mix. Now its not only revived, its blooming! :ha:

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

In the Spring my little boy ran amuck with a pair of secateurs and chopped all but one of the leaves off my Strelitzia reginae. A plant that I had been nursing since I had grown it from seed about 5 years (older than he is, in fact). To say I was gutted was a bit of an understatement, but when he looked at me and said 'sorry Dad' I had to forgive. Anyway it turns out he knows more about birds of paradise than I do because since then it has pushed out 5 leaves and is now pushing out 2 flower spikes. This is the first time it's flowered.

Blossom sprouting out of a banana leaf

Blossom sprouting out of a banana leaf!!!

Here is proof!

Well, I am only just lying a little bit :ha:

What has actually happened, was that a spent blossom had dropped off a Canna Australia,
landed on this leaf and stuck.

In my delusion, I fancied myself improving on nature, scavenged a more fresh blossom from
the canna and tried to replicate, what happened naturally. It didn’t work. I could not make
the fresh blossom stick short of using glue. :(

Thus beaten, I stuck the fresh flower on a horizontal leaf.

Water Hyacinths

Water Hyacinths

They are beautiful free floating tropicals

I tried to introduce them into our large pond, but they kept on dying on me. First I thought,
that they might by highly sensitive to residual herbicides, which some fool tossed into the
water years ago, until I learned that the Koi consider their rootes a delicacy.

Therefore I did the second best by dropping a couple into floating flowerpots,
held up by Styrofoam collars.

To those of you, who live in Florida, eat you heart out! water Hyacinths are illegal there
:ha: because they are extremely invasive and would choke up your lakes and waterways in
no time. For once we northerners have the advantage in tropicals, because the first frost
will kill them and the few water plant dealers keep over winter multiply to vast numbers,
before you can say “May’s here”. :)

What is that bug?

Well, it is not exactly about what is blooming, those are just ordinary petunias.
It is more about the bug, that is going after their nectar.

It appears to be nocturnal. I noticed it in twilight and took these pictures with flash.
It did not seem to be bothered by that.

It's a White Lined Sphinx moth, Hyles lineata. :) A lot of people call them hummingbird or hawkmoths due to their love of hovering around and drinking nectar from flowers at night, creating a heavy buzzing noise with their wings.
