I love Micro Tom tomatoes. I look forward to tasting one. My datura didn't open up last night but I think tonight maybe the night. The blooms have a yellow hue to them but the tips have a purple edge so I'm not sure what color the blooms will be. I planted lavender color ones and the white flowering ones but I think it may be the flower variety. The flowers are a lot bigger than I thought. I had a couple of plumeria seeds sprout. The rest rotted, but a friend is sending me more and I'm going to try a different tactic for germinating them

Micro Tom


Cayenne pepper


Plumeria seedling


Datura Bloom

Oh that little Plumeria is too CUTE! SO is the tomato!

That datura is going to be gorgeous! Here is an old picture of my double purple datura. I haven't had any blooms this year so far. I think it is just too hot for them!

I love the little plumeria leaves. I showed my mom and sister and they said that it was a cute seedling lol. Those are gorgeous datura blooms! I may try growing other colors next year. Mine struggled in the full sun. Every day it wilted but popped back up when it cooled down. I want to plant some by the front porch so I don't have to go around the house to view them. I just love the double flowering ones. I planted a lot of seeds in the spring but only one came up lol

Hi,
I replanted the adenium into nice fresh soil and a new pot. I also revealed a bit more of the caudex, it looks much better





Very cool plants!

I have double purple datura seeds. I might try some more soon.

[Willow87]

The caudex looks like legs lol. I know it will love the fresher soil

[jreidsma]

My Adenium has three fat legs!

I am never going to look at this plant the same way again....

The soil it was in at the store was just wood chips I feel so bad for this plant. I am surprised it didn't have any rot or anything wrong with it.

It should love the care it is getting now. I can't wait to see it flowering, when ever it decides to is a mystery though.....

[Jananas Bananas]

There is a lady that has one on another website that looks like a bow legged cowboy! I think you are both members there - plantswap? Anyway I like the fat little butts and legs a lot!!!

It does look like it feels better Jordan! I noticed some at Home Depot this afternoon that have flowers on them. None of them had the nice full caudex, but they were still pretty. ~J

[Willow87]

You should give it a name since it seems to have a personality lol. Janan I didn't know you were on Plantswap. I've only done one trade on there with Dean but I love going on that site to help me identify plants or get info on a plant

[Jananas Bananas]

Yes, I have been a member there for a couple of years, but I am very shy and I have never posted there. I have the same handle there that I have here. I like seeing everyone's pictures too. I am in and out, it is time for feedings!

[Willow87]

Its a nice site, but I never have anything good to trade with anyone. I'm going to check early tomorrow morning to see if my datura blooms open up. I may check once the sun goes down tonight just in case. I don't want to miss the blooms

[Willow87]

Here are some updated pictures of the datura bloom. I think its going to open up tonight

Hi,
I have 437 post on Plantswap.net 800 something on unusualplants, and the ones I have on here. Along with a couple other non plant related forums.

I have done quite a few trades. Have gotten quite a bit of my stuff from trades.

I am not good with naming stuff the only pets I have that are named are my two cats. I just seem to call stuff by what it is.

"Who's a cute dwarf Indian puffer fish!"

Maybe I will take suggestions for names for the adenium?

Can't wait for your datura to open!

Lol , Jana, didn't you say the same thing about a small pepper on here somewhere? About it looking like a but or something? My grandma says the same thing about lithops...

[Willow87]

Wow that's alot more post than me lol. I'll try to think of a name for your adenium. I looked outside and my datura opened. It smells wonderful

[Jananas Bananas]

You have lots of nice stuff Cam! You sell yourself short. I used to trade a lot over at GardenWeb. I think I have been a member there for about 10 years. I haven't traded much since we moved here to Austin area.

Here's a shot of my double yellow. I don't have this one anymore.



I like daturas and brugmansias because the flowers are so big and beautiful!

Yes I did! Sherry's little green mini bells maybe. That is a butt with legs though!

Cam that is just so beautiful! I can almost smell it from here!!!! I like the twisted buds too, they are very photogenic.

[Willow87]

Thanks Janan. That is by far the most beautiful datura I've seen! I love that color alot. I'm on Garenweb too but I've been on there since 2008 I think. I use it as a major reference for people's opinions on certain plants. I want to try brugs one day

[jreidsma]

Butt with legs....

Very pretty plants!

Janan, think you can log into plantswap without me noticing?

[Willow87]

LOL you are terrible

[Jananas Bananas]

Well since we were talking about it, it has been over a month since I was over there! I am invisible here!

That lady with "rock" in her name is the one that has the bow legged cowboy. I was trying to find her picture, but I didn't find it.

Cam I will look through my seeds, I might have some seeds for the yellow one. They will be old seeds, but they seem to keep forever. I will see if I can get germination and send you some.

Jordan you have such a collection of stuff, I keep thinking I have something you might like then, see you already have it!

[Willow87]

Good afternoon everyone. Are you talking about RiverRock? She had a name contest for her adenium lol. Janan I would love to have some of the yellow datura. I had to show my mom your picture and she was amazed. She said it reminded her of a ballroom dress. I got my oleander cuttings to root, so when I get some money I'll send you a few.

[jreidsma]

Hi,
Sorry for such a delay on a post. I just had another migraine. Thats four in 6 days...

Just got more jade in a trade I think I have plenty jade now

I think I might have already seen the "bow legged cowboy" adenium. Or at least heard about it... I remember it from somewhere...
