Hi Igor,

that Kalopanax septemlobus is a beauty............is there a company on-line which sells seeds or plants?

Thanks, Tim! I have a friend-of-mine who is the exotic plants propagation freak. He brought the Kalopanax cuttings from Tashkent, Uzbekistan and grafted the leaf pods onto aralia roots. Kalopanax septemlobum f.Maximowiczii is even more attractive. Try to get this one. As I know from the Russian language sources the cuttings do not develop roots and the seeds has extremely low germination rate.

I'm curious if we can hybridize Fatsia with Kalopanax septemlobum? That would be cool!

Gunnera plant which was survived last winter in my garden.

I would love to see a pic.

Also, nice garden! 😀

Tim, I spoke the guy from Ukraine and he was suggesting the following seed resource: https://sheffields.com/seed_genus_species_lot/Kalopanax/septemlobus/030895////
Hope it would work for you.

Very cool! Beautiful Colocasia!

There is a pic of EE (taro plants producing bulbs).

The previous BB plants that you like so much (Texas collected) do not produce bulbs but running with the stolons.

Great shots, Igor! I like the Kalopanax.

Great garden Igor. Love the variety of plants. Especially, I love the Ginkgo Tree. We have them all over Philadelphia. William Hamilton brought them here in the 1700's and they were even a favorite tree of the famous local architect Frank Loyd Wright. Their genetic line spans way back to the Triassic period. So many cities rip them out and destroy them now because people complain of the foul smell and tracking the fruit indoors of office buildings. People say the nuts smells like vomit when the soft flesh is crushed on the ground. But then again some people say paperwhites smell like urine. I like the smell. Guess it depends on the person I love autumn when you smell their scent heavy in the air mixed with damp leaves and burning fires. Do you eat the nuts or make tea out of it?? I take ginkgo biloba supplements for memory enhancement...Who knows if it works. 🙂

I like the smell. Guess it depends on the person 🙂

You are right! Never haven't an experience with the Ginkgo "fruits" smell. I love the Swiss cheese smell - bought a nice one in Toronto for eating but my relatives want me take it it with me back to Kazakhstan. 😆 😆 😆 I've taken, lol.
