David (Vietnam) your plants are just awesome. Few can have claim such nice plants that are potted. David of Simi thank you for sharing Dark Nebula, that is one bloom not seen too often. The name is perfect for it. You would think the thrips would be gone this time of year but I have had a small resurgence of them too especially in my T Princess. I noticed they love my plumeria blossoms so that is my constant source. Louis that is much more of a cross between the two. Exciting stuff there. That eye is a killer. Can't wait to see more blooms from that one... Well here are some run of the mill regular blooms except for T Princess in pink glory today... Also Daisy Mae Plant is undergoing an explosive growth spurt showing a ridiculous number of new branches and buds. This is what I've experienced with Chariots of Fire, Rainbow Sherbet, Valentines Day and Black Dream. These CVs get to a certain size and they just go into a whole other level - the monster level of existence. Very impressive!  Farmer D Farmer D |

My Heaven Scent was fully opened today. Charlie, does Heaven Scent bloom as a double in cooler weather and as a single in hot weather?

Woah awesome Dark Nebula! I gave some plants to my aunt and uncle in Simi Valley, Fallen Hero is one that has really taken off this year at their place. I was worried about that one not making it, but it sprung up about 2 feet this year. John, Heavens Scent usually bloomed as a cupa and saucer/single when temps were in the 60s and 70s and usually a double when temps were in hte 80s - 90s. I bet as with all double/single CVs anything is possible depending on what they feel like doing. Louis, that seedling sure is looking nice! It will be interesting to see what typical bloom will look like, still looks like a keeper  Deb, loving the indoor garden! I am building a grow rack for my room this year, need to get a few more t5s for it. I am using 6400k bulbs, what are you using? Judging by the pink hue I am guessing 3000k? How are your plants doing under those lights? I didn't want too much in the red spectrum because although it promotes budding in perrenial species it aparently makes leggier plants/bushes so I stuck with a more red-blue balanced bulb. Do you observe that your plants are more leggy with the 2700-3000k bulbs? |

Chris, I think you are probably right about it doing what it wants. It doesn't matter to me as I think it looks great either way. It's almost like having two varieties in one.
I would love to see some pics of Fallen Hero if you have any.

Doll, I checked my photos of Heaven Scent as a single and they are in winter. I posted one below that was dated Dec 25, 2002, as an example. As Chris said, this type is somewhat unpredictable but in general cool weather gives you singles and hot weather doubles with Rosalind and her offspring.

Well I have finished the left side of my garden and am quite pleased, created loads of room to grow more and let the ones I have spread out.
A pair of Bridal Paths today, I think this is one cv that's going to need a lot of that room.

I hope you are right Darren and am quite exited about it, my growth is a few months behind yours but growing fast, it will be great to get more buds, especially on Rainbow Sherbert which is one of my favourites and is usually just one at a time.

Greetings everyone from the cold and snowy North! Two indoor bloomers for me today: Cindy's Heart (what a happy indoor camper... 8" bloom!) Dragon's Breath (blood red with LOTS of "breath") Deb Wow!! Deb great picture of your jungle, mind you when I first saw the picture as a thumbnail I thought that's a first on here, a Buddhist shrine,the set up you have with your lights is so similar to what I see in most houses every day here in Nha Trang, it really is uncanny, I wonder if that's why in just a few days its attracted over 240 views, wonderful. |
