"Blue Girl" Rose

Joy Perfume Tree, my avatar, (Michelia Champaca var.'Alba'), sometimes referred to as "White Ylang-Ylang". Ylang-Ylang (Cananga Odorata) is the essence of Channel No. 5.

The fragrance is heavenly in my front yard and greenhouse.

My Ylang-Ylangs are several years away from blooming though. And they are hard to grow! My Champacas are from cuttings and graftings, so they bloomed since the first year I had them. They really had a tough time last winter, even though they were in the greehouse. Then in the spring, they dropped most of their leaves. I'm going to have to re-pot the ones in 6" pots to see if they'll turn green faster. Some of them are actually budding at this time, although they don't have too many leaves.

There's a big pile of top soil that the dozer pushed up when they formed up my shop . All over this pile I found Passionfruits!!!
I have no idea where they came from....I guess a bird pooped em' there ... but they are blooming like mad.

Snapdragons

mskitty38583 · 07-25-2008, 11:59 AM

these are my fav summer flowers! they are very lovely!

Dean W. · 07-25-2008, 12:23 PM

Sam, I was told I couldn't grow them during the summer. The leaves were turning yellow etc. So I put epsom salt on them and have been fertilizing heavily. An now they've started to bloom and the foliage has greened up.

mskitty38583 · 07-25-2008, 12:41 PM

i have a fert hat i mix up and use on all my plants and it includes epsoms salts. i havent used it on my nanas because i wasnt sure how the nanas would react to the salts. but it goes on my roses and dalhias and just about everything i put in the ground.

that is so pretty.

saltydad · 07-29-2008, 05:04 PM

My water hyacinths surprised us today.

On closeup the flower is really interesting:

sure was nice, especially as the water canna and Foxfire lily are blooming too!

island cassie · 07-29-2008, 09:52 PM

Hey Howard - great water hyacinths but just make sure that no pieces get into the local streams. That plant totally clogged the Kariba dam in Africa (forget which country - they keep changing names!) and is a banned plant in many countries. But lovely - I have some here and they are beautiful!

mskitty38583 · 07-29-2008, 10:23 PM

Well anyway do they typically grow fast do you know and do you like yours? It certainly looks nice. I think they're beautiful trees.

thanks, Bill

mskitty38583 · 07-29-2008, 10:43 PM

i know that it has taken 2 yrs for my pink to get 4 f tall. i cut a twig off my moms pink and dug up her white one(2 ft at the time) the white is about 4-6 ft tall. mine are in bloom right now and if i think about it tomorrow ill post a few pics.

Bill, that Crepe Myrtle is about 5 to 6 years old. Mine is a variety that maxs out at about 12-15' tall so it's not as fast growing. There are some that grow a little faster that aren't as drought tolerant. It's a mainstay down in the South. You see Crepe Myrtles everywhere planted and often they escape cultivation. Thanks for the compliment.
