Summer is almost over....no way!
Hope the season has been great for everyone! What a crazy busy summer! Is it just me, or does it seem like this season flew by? Since I've been away for a bit I've been quickly trying to read about everything I've missed on the forum. There's always good stuff going on and apparently I've missed a bunch! I see there is no lack of gorgeous blooms floating around these threads. Perhaps its been good for me to have been gone(it saved me from the enablers).
Speaking of enablers...ahem. It is amazing how many plants you "don't" add when you aren't exposed to the wicked ways of your forum friends...LOL I've been so good with keeping the plumeria population from exploding this year. I've only added about 12 or so(didn't do an EXACT count). I think this is in due in part to that fact that I've not been subjected to my #1 enabler from VB(Hi Laura! LOL) I do however owe someone from the forum a thank you for posting Toba's Fire a.k.a. Embers, just had to add that one! I'm still wondering what happened to Greg the Enabler, has anyone seen him around? He gives Laura a run for the money in the enabling department!
This season has been loaded with more growth than blooms for me this year but I am thankful for growth! I didn't have any issues with that nasty plumeria destroying blacktip like last year so...hallelujah! And apparently spider mites don't take to fondly to Coco-wet, I've not had an issue the entire time while using it in my foliar fertilizer mix..yay!
Here is a bit of my season... My best to everyone!
The biggest surprise for me...JJ Purple Haze. The blooms are always changing, sometimes intense and sometimes soft and muted. And a pain to photograph!
See the spider? He's been watching over this plant for weeks!
Oh... and the evening shot! Can you tell I love this bloom! LOL
JJ Hearts Desire-great floral fragance! The jury is still out on this one.
JJ Purple Jack. Don't know why I didn't add this one before the color is stunning! Never could be captured as the true dusky purple that it is...bad photo
Remember this picture of Golden Sun that sat in my garage all winter? LOL Yes, it still makes me laugh!
Well I had planned to cut the inflo but forgot that too. It rooted and has been a fabulous bloomer!
And then there is Maya and her buddy....
He was a bit of a show off....LOL
New variegated...love this one. Rose Syrup, still leafing out and a bit lop sided :) Even under 50% shade cloth this girl gets sunburned. Sunblock required at all times...LOL
Lastly... JJ Fuji Mist which I've posted before but I just adore this one...the blooms can go from an intense magenta to a light grey lilac...gorgeous and the texture of the petals is lovely!
I think this post may be a mile long!
Side note: Simi if you read this I owe you a huge apology! You answered my question about locating Mr. Bill Moragne and I was off the forum. So sorry and thank you for responding! I know I'll get my hands on that guy next season:)
