ang mahal ng bili ko!P250...wala pang bunga.

Maliit yung plant na nabili namin, kaya siguro mura. Hindi ko nga kilala itong halaman na ito.
Nakatanim lang siya sa isang maliit na seedling bag. Wala pang 1 1/2 feet ang taas at payat ang stems. Nagkataon lang siguro na may bunga.

my ever lovelies clematis



may nakita ako last summer sa isang magazine na ganito and i copied the style and now, it is exactly the same from the magazine picture

Ganda ng flowers mo. This one has great colors.
Can you elaborate on the style? Ano difference dun sa dati? Tips please. Baka pwede apply sa ibang flowers ko.

Thanx for dropping by and the heads up on the commenting section. I already made a workaround.

Yes, you can buy molasses locally. Health supplements stores like Healthy Options have them, but they're expensive. Here's where I bought cheap molasses.

You're welcome. If it's okay, I'll add a link to your blog on my "recommended" section.

Thanks for the molasses tip. You're very resourceful. I belatedly realized that we have a sugar mill. Dun na lang ako kukuha, baka pwedeng hingiin lang. *fingers crossed*

welcome back bro! ganda ng mga pinasyalan nyo ha

Thanks! Bitin nga eh! Dapat pupunta ako either San Francisco or New York Botanical Gardens pero democratic ang family so lagi ako overruled. Tama na daw ang isang nursery.

I'll try to share pics of the nursery once na-organize na ng wife ko ang pics. Naglaway ako ng husto. Nanghinayang nga ako na wala akong inapply na import permit.

Just want to share an update on my Dyckia platyphylla seedlings.

These are from my second batch, sowed last April 9.


These are from my first batch, sowed May of last year.


Too bad a lot didn't make it. From 8 trays naging 2. Kainis kasi mga pusakal. Lagi na lang tinatalunan ang seedling shelves ko.

Dalawa pa lang sa Dyckia ko ang nag bloom. Yung isa yung pinutol ng yaya na kamaganak ng mga yaya ni Nic and Alfonso, tapos si platyphylla. After the platyphylla bloomed last year, I've been keeping the rest of my Dyckias in the same conditions pero wala pa din. Any ideas why? I'm hoping to propagate more.

Sa wakas, namulaklak na yung Echinacea ko. Sana magsunuran na rin yung iba. Galing sa seeds ito at ang tagal hinintay!

Plantchaser, go right ahead with the link and thanx!
If you've access to a sugar mill for the molasses, then that's your best bet.

Thanx for the info, kim G. Invasive at parang weeds pala ito sa inyo. Ako, i-enjoy ko muna sila . Hopefully they'll thrive and bloom more, even with the onset of the rainy season.

everyweek pabago bago ng pwesto dun sa centris hehehe... pero sabi ni ate silky final na daw yung pwesto na yun. btw nice loot nandun rin ako last sunday puro orchids naman loot ko

Ganun? tsk tsk. nakakamiss *** dating pwesto. maaliwalas kasi noon. ngayon, nagkakabungguan. ultimong mga sellers, hirap magpwesto ng mga halaman sa sikip ng daanan. parang may mga sellers din ang nawala.
Next time siguro, visit na rin kami sa MSBF.

Hehehe. Sayang kasi ang seeds. Ang ganda pa naman ng dyckia pag madami. Pang xeriscape. So platyphylla din lang nag bloom sa yo? Or were you able to get seeds from other kinds? What conditions do your dyckia live in?

[BlackDove]

Speaking of DIY... Here's a homemade hanging basket bracket that's easy to do, simple yet functional.

Thanks for the tips! Also, you might want to check out the clematis here. Different color from the one you shared with us.

Ako nga walang mapagtaniman. 90% nakapaso o nakasabit. The ones I'm successful propagating I give as birthday or Christmas gifts to people who I'm sure will not kill the plant. Hahaha!
