Re: Which do you like, and why?

Thanks. The velutina is sold out, which is why I didn't mention it. Is it the best one out of these options?

Re: Dendrobium Anucha Flare

As from my experiences with growing orchids and talking to others who grow and breed orchids, any seed-grown orchid can, potentially, be given it's own clonal name. The term 'variety' is used in...

Re: Dendrobium Anucha Flare

I am very aware of the naming processes of orchids. I think the problem here, is that Den. Anucha Flare, if you are correct in that there is only ONE existing plant of that grex, that it does not...

Re: Ensete survive zone6

Does the cutting back weaken the plant? Why? I never thought of that.

Re: Autumn in the "Forest City"

Being from Winnipeg, it's always surprising to see pics of open water with lots of snow in December. It's obviously not that cold where you are. Either that, or you have had a thaw recently.

Nice...

Re: Fire for Heat

Sounds a little risky. What do you have to protect in zone 9b+?

Re: Balboa Park Botanical Building

Sunfish - nice photos. Thanks for sharing. I've only been to San Diego once, and only went to the zoo. I remember Balboa Park being there, but don't recall going in.

Re: What's the name of this plant? Thanks.

This thread is simply to identify the photos in the first post. The photos are of Impatiens, and I believe they are from New Guinea. (Btw, Madegascar Periwinkle is in fact from Madegascar too). ...

Re: Dicksonia antarctica

Thanks. About the pot size - I never thought about it that way. Tree Ferns are very cool plants! Almost like epiphytes, but they are growing on themselves! So, if a tree fern is cut down, it will...

Re: Dicksonia antarctica

Yes, I agree, good idea, but when you are talkgin about a very large plant, a saucer under the pot won't do a whole lot of good. The fronds won't get any of that. I do have it on a saucer anyway,...

Re: Dicksonia antarctica

Palmtree - Dicksonias are Australian tree ferns. Maybe you have a Cyathea and probably one of the tropical ones, given the temps you gave. Dicksonia has fewer species, but most are tropical. I...

Dicksonia antarctica

I just bought a small Dicksonia antarctica, and was wondering the best care for it indoors over the winter. I will take it outside for the summer (if it lives that long!). I have had it about a week,...

Re: Banana Indoor Care Help Please

I didn't trust mine to do well if it's not in my grow room, and even though I had to cram it in there, it's there. I didn't want to risk dormancy, as it seems to be a hit-and-miss thing for some...

True, but if the initiator of the thread is not involved in the conversation anymore, what's the point? Are you talking to that person or just to Richard? Seems, for the most part, to be a 2-person...

composting Castor bean

Can Castor bean plants be composted? Is the entire plant poisonous? Is it okay if the compost is not used for plants that will be eaten?
