Thanksgiving cactus is almost ready to bloom (about 2 weeks) and is enjoying some cool weather on a porch. The cannas were flowering, but I cut them down (We havent gotten any frosts yet, but Ive got to start cleaning things up now for next year!). The elephant ears arent cut down yet (its too big to cut now so ill wait until a frost flattens it). They are flowering and have had 7-9 large while flowers (same shape as a peace lily)

Indoor plants flowering are my mandevillea (never wants to stop), hibiscus (with lots of seed pods now too), parlor palm (usually likes to bloom for the winter, but I guess it got a head start this year, Improved meyer lemon (20 fruits on it, and probably 20 or more buds all opening now, smells great too!). My plumerias are indoors and still blooming great.


Nice pics everyone! (Sorry I dont have any to offer right now).

Tainung Papaya. This one seems to be much more cold tolerant than my other cultivars.

Yesterday it was 90 F here from the "Santa Ana" weather conditions. My cherry tomato plants in the front yard have 100's of blossoms today!

Tony, I've got some late pomegranate blooms also but know they will freeze in a month or so but wonder if yours will produce fruit this time of year. Have you had winter fruit before?

This is a dwarf tree two years old and only18" tall. It has been blooming all summer but never sets fruit.

It's outside .I'LL TRY HAND POLLINATING IT. THANKS

Dwarf Cavendish bananas, spaghetti squash, Jarradhale pumpkin, red warty thing squash, blue ballet squash, rutgers tomatoes, blackberries, pomegranets, cowpeas, bell peppers, strawberries and container trees of grapefruit, orange, lemon, lime, tangerine, apples, peaches and nectarines. And don't let me forget the grapes and kiwis.

This is small compared to the spring growing season. I have a back yard that's almost a quarter acre. By the time summer hits, it's a matter of "where do I put this?" and "I like that. I'll find a space for it." Somehow, I manage to find an inch or two to grow stuff. I have a ball doing it.

I couldn't tell you if it's theraputic or obsessive, but who cares? I have fun and enjoy it. No one complains when I hand out sacks of fresh veggies and fruits. :0517:

That is pretty! I've only seen the yellow kind around here.

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

My Tovara Brush Strokes. It's grown for the leaves, which have a chevron in dark color on them. But they have sprays of tiny pink flowers, must have missed them last year!

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

Thank you MJD. They are easy to grow from seed. Is it OK to send seed to California? If you want some I can send you some when the pod ripens.

oh, hey! That's real sweet of you. I'm not familiar with the California stance on sending seeds by mail. Maybe some members here from CA will chime in.

I'd love to try my hand at plant seed; I've never started a plant from seed--best I've done for far is keep from sending my plants to the big nursery in the sky, hence my signature "reformed gardner".
