    Indoor Ti's

    Here's an update on the Ti-logs that miraculously arrived at my home almost a year ago. Of the eight logs I got, seven made it and are still alive This one I got from the local garden center - first time I saw Ti's there. I have no idea which one it is, maybe someone here can make a guess?

    Growing Plumeria from seeds ? anyone?

    Has anyone here experience with growing plumeria from seeds? I've just started, now I have a couple of so far healthy looking fast-growing little seedlings with their first pair of true leaves... How long does it take for them to bloom? I read about something like two years.

    Seedling Luna x Suntan

    here's the Suntan-seedling - again, this one is a cross between a 'commercial' and a 'fancy' hibiscus. I have to give credit for that cross to my boyfriend who crossed them while I was on a worltrip - so I suppose it's his seedling :D The cross was done at the end of november 2012, the pod...

    Heart's Desire

    This is a cv that (I believe) has been around a while but is not shown much. It is said to be not the most frequent bloomer. My plant took a pretty long time to bloom (two years from when I bought it) but then bloomed rather regularly. What I really like about is it its soft and a bit unusual...
