No pictures Jesse.

Ya , the internet died after I posted it.... wonder why they didnt post??

Great pics! I like those agaves 😆

When i took them out of the baggie, the roots were already 4 inches long... I couldnt belive it.....

Jesse those pics are great . Thanks for sharing.

Jesse,
those rock!
Canna from seed--so cool.
Also loved the Agave. I need to learn so much about them.
Planting out seedlings--super. Never worked for me, but I don't have your dedication, either.
And of course the triangle palm. One of mine is in a pot, the other leaped out of its pot and so is soil planted for now. They are just such cool palms. (Clearly, must be back inside before even the Yukon gets a freeze...).
Please keep photos coming for us all! --Erik

Nice pics, thanks for sharing

Hi Jesse,

nice plants. Is that Russian Olive the native plant we have growing along the highways around here in Massachusetts? Or is ours a different species. looks the same.

Thanks eric

Im figuring out agave are easy, almost too easy. I forgot to water them for 2 weeks, and they didnt show no signs of stress about it. And they are growing fast, faster then I expected. Your in prime territory for desert plants/mediterranian plants ( probably why your chammie does so good :D). The canna should be interesting. The mom is roseman cole, which is a yellow flower, with a red center, and the parent is either a Tropicanna Black, or Richard Wallace ( sort of like the picasso, just not as vibrant red spray on the flowers). And they grow FAST, just as fast as they do from the rhizome...

I love Triangle palms. I had one in CAlgary, that did nothing for a year before rewarding me with 4 new leaves in one summer. Then, I had to leave it there, amungst many other plants (the Philodendron selloum and P Canariensis I grew from seed 🙁 )

Ill just have to see how the seedling handles it. IF it doesnt, I have a good 2 dozen other trachys to try. Then again, hopefuly its so close to the ground, that I can get away without heat this winter. Experimentation 👿

Tim - Most russian olive that escaped int he states, are ususaly the common "green" species. There is also Autumn Olive, which is similar. Mine is a cultivar called "Quicksilver". They leaves on the regular RO, have the silver speckling, that gives them the sheen, But the quicksilver one, the leaves are totaly that icy grey blue colour, other then the fact ive been looking for one of these for a few years, I managed to get that Brahea blue colour in my yard!!! I want it because it fixes notrogen, and aids the growth of plants around it, namely the Phyllostachys which is a nitrogen whore....

Thanks for Lookin everyone

Nice! Is the olive in the ground? Looks to be, but I am not sure.

Unfortunalty, it isnt an "olea" olive and yes its in the ground. ITs called "russian olive" due to the uncanny resembelance to olea. The latin name is Elaeagnus angustifolia 'Quicksilver', same family as the gouami. My cultivar is also called "caspian", due to its habitat being around the caspian sea.

This is the closest thing I can get to a real olive in my yard. I never seen them with such a nice colour (I thought they were all green with that slight silver sheen), and i got a 6 foot tree for 17.99. I was so extatic when I seen it, I carried it the whole mile home ( I walk everywhere) with a backpack full of plants as well LOL.

I wish i could get the real olive to make it here, but I think I have a better chance with palms

Good luck with your Trachy Jesse-

rest of the stuff looks like it's coming along considering the
upside down spring this year.
Hopefully you'll get some heat for that Castor 8)

Thanks Jim, I need luck for that palm

The spring wasnt to bad this year, cept the ass backwards swing at the end of may. All the odd weather seemed to have went right around me

Nursery around here sells a hardy olive. I wonder if its the same thing you have?
