Desmanthus Give-away

[Desmanthus Give-away]

Got mine today, cheers Lok. Well-packaged giveaway.

[Loph Flower!]

Exciting! My first loph flower.

Thanks for viewing

Don't get angry or confront her - she'll only shut down.

She either has an addiction or a mental illness (perhaps an early onset of Alzheimer's or Dementia).

She may not even be aware of her actions, I'm not sure. It depends on the person for how to best go about it

[Loph Flower?]

Great progression!

Now they are out in the sun, and the one with the flower buds has 3 buds ready to go! The original one is much larger and showing its petals, nearly ready to open - I give it two to three days max. Exciting stuff. Will have photos soon.

Peace

Congrats you got yourself a flower bud.

Yayayayayayayay yayayayy!

And yep, those are Pepino fruit, grew them off a little bush. Got heaps. I don't particularly like them, it's like rockmelon and honeydew made whoopee but their baby wasn't as good as either. They make okay filler in a fruit salad though, or with ice cream.

Hey, I got excited today while doing the rounds of my plants - is this what I think it is?

It's been really hot and sunny lately so I think it may have encouraged the flower. Hopefully it doesn't dwindle after this rain:

And a few more photos for fun.

very well kept collection, nice pic's, congratulations, good upload.

Cheers guys. And planthelper, that's the catha I messaged you about and posted in the last thread. More water, less light and more TLC brought it to it's current state - I also basified the soil gently which has appeared to have lifted the conditions. Might fert soon.

Hey Alice. The Brug is one that's been growing near a shopping centre close to my house for longer than I've been alive, and I've seen it be every colour - from white, to peach, to yellow, depending on the time of year and temperatures/rain. I find that a very interesting feature, one I haven't observed in brugmansia before.

The Loph grafts are in partial sunlight/mottled spotlight for most of the day and receive full afternoon sun at about 3:30 PM. This the condition under which they experience the most growth.

After measuring, the one with the pups is now 37mm wide and 21mm tall, and the other is 35mm wide and 17mm tall. They've both grown about 1-2cm wider within the last four months which is exciting.

Thanks

Stop trying, you'll only hurt yourself ;)

TI I see yours and raise.

[how fast can you type?]

First try. Have done better, can't remember my record, but I'll have another go after a coffee. Just finished work.

TI I challenge you officially.

[2013 Camping Trip - East Coast - Blue Mountains - May]

This sounds awesome. Interested, but will need to know closer to the date depending on what I'm doing

[tricho ID bridge ?]

Fluss i was considering that as well, but the spination (including spination colour) does not match. If a hybrid between Bridgesii and myrt. is possible, this is as close as it would get

[tricho ID bridge ?]

To me that looks a LOT like a bridgesii, strange that it's from bunnings.

[6/12/2012 Update]

Hey bogfrog, no no cat haha.

The double trich is a Trichocereus macrogonus. Very cool, I got it as a single headed cactus and it eventually grew like that.

Thankyou

With the peganum harmala, I germinated them in warm water and left them in paper towel until they sprouted. Then I put them in sandy perlite mix and water them pretty uncommonly, mainly when I see they are dry. They are kept out of direct sunlight at this stage.

Alice, definitely catnip. It's starting to flower now and they strongly resemble catnip over lemon balm.

[6/12/2012 Update]

Enjoy guys!

He didn't laugh at you, if you are referring to "Imo", that stands for in my opinion.

That's all I want to contribute to this.
