Mike,
Great photos. It seems it was a great year for clivias with the heat we had. However, I also know it was from Al's Gritty Mix, too. My clivias LOVED it. The root growth was incredible as you told me it would be.
Now I just have to get them to bloom consistently next year ;-).

Izhar..You are way too funny...How you been? I hope well..Thank you for your funny and kind words...

Monet..Hi Hi Hi..I haven't seen you in a while...Don't you just LOVE the gritty mix..This is the first to second year with mine in it, and they just grow like weeds with nice clean white roots!! The mix besides the combo nice summer can do mircales, right? lol Thank you for your kind words to..

Please , let me see a couple of pics of your plants you guys..

Mike

Looking good. Where's pics of the tree peony blooms? I see you have to contend with maple leaves as well. Here's a pic of mine.

It's growing in a mix of clay based topsoil, sand and peat.

Jon..How are you???

You got yourself a beautifully shaped plants there..It also looks like it flowered,,Great job..

I can't believe that you noticed the Peony tree..How? I also see your leaves as mine...lol..Great time of year..

Good to see you

Mike

I'm doing fine, thanks. I'm anxiously waiting for seeds to be ripe. October was nine months, so they're late. I have a picture of a peony bloom from this last spring:) If I had the space and money, I would plant more.

Jon so would I..I would plant dozens of them! One of my favorite perenials!

That flower is amazingly beautiful!

Thank you and hope for a short winter...Jon..Have you ever grown them in containers? I did..My plants were LOADED with flowers, more than my in-ground ones..That makes no sense..

Mike..:_)

Mike, your Clivias are huge..The first one has the longest leaves I've ever seen..
I love your variegated, but think you know, varietates are my favorits..

Jon, don't ya just love maple leaves??? NOT! Those darn leaves are/were on every single plant thta was summered outdoors..it's a pain picking each out, especially when they crumble..and who knows if insects hide inside the creases. Maple leaves can't even be used for mulching perrenials..they'll drown a plant/s.

Jon, your Peony is really nice..is it a double? I've never seen double or semi-double before..Yellow is one of my favorite flower colors..beautiful. Toni
