Wonderful clivia seedling

My wonderful daruma chinese clivia...

Newest clivia

I just bought this variegated Sparrow Clivia. As you can see, it has flowers forming. Unfortunately, on receiving this plant, the flowers were stuck in the plant. I tried different methods of trying to coax the flowers up. I first placed it in the dark. I then heard lots of light and warmth work. Also some fertilizer would help also. I was able to get one flower high enough, I think to pollinate. I'm hoping for the best!!!!

Snowy Day in New York

I can't wait to see my impatiens blooming in the spring...no more snow and ice..I hate the winter..Is global warming really that bad???

Jamaica hummingbird

Hummingbird seen in Jamaica. I was very excited..Grow the right flowers and get butterflies and hummingbirds!!!

Wollemia tree...

This tree was thought to have been extinct for over 100 million years..only in fossil records. Yet not long ago a few trees were found in Australia. They are now grown for people around the world. They are very expensive.....

Grow a cactus today...

Do you have sunny window sill? Yes, grow a cactus... The cactus might even bloom...Growing a cactus requires very little work. I water my cactus once a month and it grows fine. In fact, if you pay more attention to the cactus it might die from love...People tend to water when dry...For a cactus to much water will rot and kill the plant. So neglect your cactus and be rewarded...If more then one cactus, you have cacti....What are you waiting for grow a desert plant...

Is there an interest in clivia seedlings?

I have numerous clivia seedlings, many that were very expensive seeds. I'm like a kid in the candy store that wants everything. I ordered way too many seeds, now have 6 month old clivias that need a home. Do you think there would be an interest in purchasing seedlings if I post on Daves Garden website? Please leave your comment or advice? I have red flower seedlings, yellow, pinkish, apricot color and a variety called ghost.

Jamaica trip

For a week, I will be posting my Jamaica trip photos. Does anyone recognize this butterfly?

I'm back!!

I've been away for awhile recovering from the work with the General Elections. With time on my hands now, I've started my plant buying again. I just recently purchased several Kelly Griffin aloe hybrids. I was able to find a plant collector who sold me a couple plants. I did extensive research to finally locate a person with this plant. I've been told its more common to find this plant at succulent societies in so California. Of course, I live in New York so this could be a little problem. The plant can be found on eBay occasionally for crazy amounts of money. I will receive the plants hopefully early next week. I will post all three photos....

Love fall leaves

OK enough of the fall, when does spring start???

Plant tulips now!!!

Plant your tulips NOW!!!! Time is running out!!! I just planted 100 tulips...can't wait for the spring!!!!

Fancy MUMS

It is amazing the variety of mums that exist. I find the fancier the mums the less hardy they are. I plant them all the time outside. They rarely last for more then a couple of years...

Asters

Try growing native asters like the New York or New England Aster. This photo is the New England aster. You can tell by the name the area or region it grows. There are many beautiful native flowers you can grow. Many of the native flowers are becoming less common due to developments and alien plants taking over. Trying growing native, lets keep them around....

Boophane disticha

Boophane disticha is a small genus of bulbs found in South Africa. The flowers are composed of many star shaped flowers. This plant is often grown for the ornamental curly leaves. This bulb is extremely poisonous. It has been used to make poison tip arrows. If you have an animal or small child, do not grow this plant. It requires full sun in a fast draining medium. My plant, I try to water everyday. It does have a dormant period where it requires less water typically in the winter time. I just started growing this plant so I’ll have to see what happens this winter. As you might have noticed, South Africa has a wealth of interesting native bulbs..I would love to visit one day…
