Scott - have you identified a time of year when the colors are more pronounced. I think I remember in the old Ti book a comment about lower temps bringing out more colors. What do you think?

Hi Phillipe, You may be on the right track with the "Caryota type." Seeing more of the "trunk area" would be helpful. The same with the other. It looks to me as if it could be Chamaedorea tepejilote. But if it is suckering it is not. All areas of a palm is useful for IDs - not just the leaves.

I great type of orchid - perhaps my favorite because of the blue flowers many have. I don't know much about them, other than the ones I have grow with no soil, and no moss - just hanging in the air on/in wood baskets. When I get the major garden projects done, these will be one of the "fun"...

Wow - like a "box of chocolates." You must feel like a proud Papa.

I'm glad to hear that it sounds like everyone escaped without major damage. A lot of clean up I'm sure - but it sounds as if things will get back to normal soon.

Good to know - only adds to the "mystic" of these plants. :)

Definitely unique. As to tissue culture, I always thought they had to be identical. But with Ti Plants, who knows. Maybe a "sport" from "cell #1."

Thanks - another I will have to run by Angela. :)

Next time your out taking pics - can you get a pic of the entire plant. I'm not sure if we have that one. A pic from a little farther away might help me know. It sure looks nice.

Nice - I'm partial to the "blacks." I've got a new one I'll take of pic of soon.

You're right - I need to get several projects finished and get back to enjoying the garden. I'll have to ask Angela. She would know if she has snuck that in somewhere. :)

Another new one for me - I like it.

Wow - wish I had a few to put up on the Tropiscape Auctions. I hope you get some flowers soon on yours and you experiment with some hybridizing.

I paid no attention to how I planted mine - I have two of them. But neither one of them has varied from the orientation in which I originally planted them - and they are very different orientations - almost at right angles to one another.

Mine are still doing well in the ground. And I am still curious how they will look/grow when a large plant?

Thanks Scott - is there such a thing as a "Mini HF?" That is what another grower said - but I didn't know if he was actually referring to a "named" Ti, or describing what it looked like to him.

Maybe ScotTi can help. I posted this on our FaceBook page and it received a lot of attention. (You can click the link near the top of the page to go to the Tropiscape FaceBook Group). But no one seemed to know the correct ID of this plant. Does anyone here know for sure?

Do you smoke cigars? :)

California would be a much different place if all the Washingtonias suddenly disappeared. Certainly a palm taken for granted.

"I'm sure Dean remembers seeing one or two in California." Agapanthus yes - of course - but I don't remember the Corymbia being so pretty. What a great tree, and so healthy looking too. And apparently somewhat drought resistant - in my eye, it challenges any tropical flowering tree for beauty...
