Hooray David! I'd love to see some photos when you get
settled. May life be a bit easier for both of you. Exciting,
isn't it? That whole St. Ives area is just gorgeous...sea
coast and long walks.
clearsky57, thank you sooo much for posting this photo. One of
my lost or switched tag Phrags. just opened fully and it is a
Fritz (3N) that is a twin to your photo bought from a member of this forum a couple of years go. It is a beauty!
'Charlie' is the name of a beloved dog owned by John M.
in Canada. He's a superb grower and I have a couple of
his plants that are wonderfully healthy and very
regular bloomers.
SB are you using Orchiata straight or mixed with charcoal and
perlite? May I recommend a slotted clay pot with Orchiata,
charcoal and perlite of medium size? This medium can usually
go two to three years before it needs to be repotted and the
roots get sufficient air circulation. Lowes sells...
The name of the DB that I use is Luna Sundara on Amazon.
It's not cheap, but you don't have to use much. I use a Q-tip
to spread it on damaged leaves. As a bonus, it dries up
poison ivy quickly. A real boon for me.
Amazon has the Dragon's Blood. Eric posted the name of the
one we use somewhere.
SB I'm running low on the original I obtained from Eric that
isn't available now. I just add a bit of water and shake it
up. Seems to work just as well.
