Flowers 2017

Here is my $5 no name Azalea From home despot

Got the full show last week
has over 220 flower buds this year.

In about a week or so when the flowers fall off I will cut it back hard and repot it and do a little root work.

Here is what it looked like in 2014 when I bought it.

I think this hibiscus is thanking me for sparing it's life, and bringing it in for the winter.

My Omoi No Mama that in the ground. Only one or two open. So many buds tho. Gonna be In the teens by Friday. Probably going to ruin all of them.

One of my favorite azaleas, the flowers look similar to roses.

 

[Mellow Mullet]

This one is really blooming, too. Not as full as it has been, I did not work it as I should have this past year.

Cool, mine does that too when I don't prune too hard. I saved the seeds one year but could not get them to sprout.

Not sure, I am pretty sure it is a kurume, it could be Hans red, but the flowers are a little different.

Thanks, there you go, Vin. Is yours blooming?

 

[Vin]

Thanks, there you go, Vin. Is yours blooming?

Not yet. but there are buds. Most of my others are blooming including the one you helped me with 4 years ago. The trunk of that one is my Avatar by the way.

 

[Mellow Mullet]

One more look at this one before it gets some work. I have a thread for it, but can't find it.

Before


Clean up, repot, and a little wire, well a lot of wire. I also removed the lower limb because I thought that it was too low on the trunk.

I always get Hans and Christmas Cheer mixed up... look identical to me.
