A few pics of growth
Still not much growth yet this year.
The musa finally got enough heat in its clay pot to push a leaf.
The Bottle palm's older fronds evidence Manganese deficiency, kinda ugly.
But this new spear that has bolted up since fertilizing with Palm Special hopefully will be clean.
And my fav color...this clematis just opened:
To really mix up topics...this pic is proof that even this very-slow to germinate Foxtail Palm seedling quickly needs a tall skinny pot. It was in an 8-inch pot and roots have curled into a ring.
That's all I could find worthy of photographing this week.
Thanks for looking.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

I love clematis! Do you have the small white scented variety that grows wild out there like we do here. It is really agressive but smells and looks great! It blooms in August Sept.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Yuri, I didn't know they needed pots THAT deep.
My first leaf (on each) sunburned, some are fried I think, so I'd recommend filtered sun when yours throw a leaf.
They're beautiful palms, well worth the work.
Mike, nope, haven't seen any wild white ones (or cultivated white ones for that matter).
Thanks Aaron.

Yes, we have the wild ones. They are all over the place once you know where to look.sidpook wrote:I love clematis! Do you have the small white scented variety that grows wild out there like we do here. It is really agressive but smells and looks great! It blooms in August Sept.

They smell so good. Barb, they are really small blooms about 2cm wide and very tight together....they form carpets of blossoms and climb anywhere.
Here is a pic I took last year of a bug in one of my vines.

I really like the idea of putting all palm seedlings in bigger pots,
they grow faster and you don't have to mess with it later.

Thanks, Bill, my basjoo is a poor cousin to your nanas...I should show it YOUR pictures
Aaron that would be lovely.
Do they transplant well from the wild?
Mike, what an outstanding picture!!!!
Great capture of the beautiful delicate wing in that mass of white.
When we moved here eons ago, I thought we had white clematis growing throughout the grass.
Turned out to be morning glory, which is hugely invasive here, destroying lawns.
Jim, yup I thought I had done that with those big slurpy (7/11) plastic pots.
Looks like these seedlings could've gone straight into 5 gal pots to germinate.
Kinda like Steve's Bizzies that he germinated a couple of years ago in a sawn-in half lengthwise piece of thickwall PVC pipe (great idea).

I have tried once or twice to plant some from the wild but have had no success. I'm sure others would have better luck. Plants Delights sells several varieties of the wild forms.lucky1 wrote: Aaron that would be lovely.

Before I knew what they were I thought they were weedy vines that grew on the bushes and up the trees by creeks. But after seeing them in a garden I now have a different opinion.
