I have oranges ripening.

You have a citrus bonsai or Illinois oranges? Pics or it didn't happen.

 

[Carol 83]

@Michigan Tree Murderer The only Illinois oranges are in the grocery store. It's just a Navel Orange from HD, more of a patio plant than bonsai.

 

[Michigan Tree Murderer]

Nice! It's 83 species of plants isn't it! Woo Hoo! I win!

My pink and red bougies are reliable bloomers but the purple ones seem reluctant to bloom for me. I guess I'm doing something right this year.

I've been wanting one and then saw the one @ABCarve had in the Cleveland show this past year. That's what sealed the deal for me! They're gorgeous.

I’m so glad you’re giving it another try!

@ABCarve How long do the flowers last on yours after they bloom/open?

One day in the summer, maybe 1-1/2 -2 days in the winter.
