Comments (3)I'm up for a trade. I'm in Arizona, so we'll have to do it before it gets too hot here, but not too cold in other parts of the country....it's a small window some years, but I've done it before. The variegation on the edges of the leaves is very thin but it's the same color pink as the blooms. Pretty....See MoreNew house with new garden- plant i.d. needed
Comments (9)In order on your website: 1. not sure, need a closer picture 2. L. angustifolia, but only an expert herbalist could tell you which variety 3. Santolina 4. I think an abutilon 5. possibly an acorus 6. Solanum rantonnetii 7. There are two species of Moraea grown, one with yellow flowers, the other with lavender. 8. Geranium "biokovo" on the right. The one on the left looks like a common weed species of geranium, but I'd need to see the flower to be sure 9. A Pittosporum of some kind The flowers look like Ipheion, but the foliage looks more like some sort of irid. If the foliage smells like an onion, it's the Ipheion. Podocarpus you're right Euonymous japonicus "microphyllus" Sedges and grasses are very hard to identify. You might try posting a picture again when it blooms, that really helps Arum italicum pictum a jasmine of some sort could be some sort of camellia, but just guessing Hopefully, I didn't miss one and get the order mixed up! You owe me one, girl ;-)....See MoreNew to gardening, New to carnivorous plants
Comments (4)I agree with the previous posts, and I've found that perlite is less expensive that coir and helps with soil aeration more efficiently. Growing those two from seed is a big step, most people start with established plants. That being said, it's not impossible. I too live in the pacific northwest and I have two purpurea, purple pitcher plant, that do very well here. I have not tried my hand at the cobra lily, but I've heard it can be picky. I was told by a nursery owner that trickling water helps more than standing water and since in the wild they are often found near springs that makes sense. They are both native to N. America, so if you start your seeds now, you might see growth by the spring. They are both slow growers so don't be discouraged. Another good plant to try is nepenthes, or Asian pitcher plant which can be grown as a house plant all year round. There is a website, growcarnivorousplants.com that is located in this region that sells plants, has monthly care guide podcasts and care instructions on all the CPs. The book you got is also a great one. Good luck!...See MoreWhat new plant or garden feature are you trying this year?
Comments (52)Meghan From my experience it's a toss up. I've had more bad luck with them than good. I do have a couple of bushes that I bought years ago that are still flourishing. For the most part I have given up on grafted roses because for me they grow beautifuly for 3 or 4 years and then they just go down hill after that and start throwing up Doctor Huey sprouts. I have some beautiful Dr Huey specimens that I gave up on trying to dig out and decided to go with the flow with it. Trained properly they are quite beautiful!! LOL!! There are only so many Dr Huey that a person can live with. I now only buy own root roses. Maybe it's just me!! LOL!!...See Moreken_adrian Adrian MI cold Z5
