Tomp Yours is a very nice flower also. I got mine from Silva Orchids in Neptune NJ

She loves it and has done an okay job keeping up with it... I've been gone over 4 years now. Hi Linus Yes that is a peach tree. Survived the subzero winters there quite well but most years we got a late frost right in the middle of the bloom season. It also suffered severely from root nematodes...

THESE ARE A FEW PHOTOS FROM THE SECOND GROWING SEASON.

My wife and I lived in Colorado for a few years before we moved to NJ. While there we stayed at my sisters house on the outskirts of Colorado Springs. Her yard was a wreck... Gardening was not her thing. When we got there she was on the east coast doing an internship so we had the place...

Not much else to say... I love this flower. I was looking for a division of a good one but wasn’t having any luck so I bought this unbloomed plant a year ago. I think I lucked out with this one.

New Paph delenatii bloom. I got this from Cal-Orchids 2 or maybe 3 years ago. Its (Dark Pouch x Whopper). I think it may be a cross Norito made and they were growing out. 8cm NS.

Thanks for the great comments everyone... and yes it does have a great fragrance.

Liriope spicata... for another area of the garden.

This next feature is a favorite of mine. Because the shape of this pond was ordinary I wanted to obscure the shoreline wherever I could. I built this zigzag bridge that is on the land then cantilevered over the water then back on the land then cantilevered over the water again and then back onto...

Not the best presentation but this bloom opened upside down and against a leaf... I like it though.

For me this has been the hardest Paph I’ve ever grown. I bought two of these plants June of 2015 as 3 fan, near blooming size charlesworthii from Sam at Orchid Inn. The plants were great and immediately put on a couple new growths... then they died back to one growth. Both plants repeated this...

You are correct... that's why I suggested moving it to lower light first or covering part of a leaf.

Lol... exactly what I said in the first response to the original question. I can’t guarantee it but it cost you nothing. It would have been better to have done this first then look at other issues if it did no good. Throwing a bunch of things at a problem can give you the result you’re looking...

Time for a new garden... the owners of this property visited my garden late one summer and asked if I would do some work for them. I don’t design/build gardens for a living so I can afford to work on my own terms more-so than the average landscaper. There are two things I require if I’m going to...

Including hardscape (decks, fences and wall) about 10K a year over 10 years... 100K

Absolutely not. Bamboo roots need oxygen therefore their root system is shallow. I dug up some clumps with 3-5 culms each and sold them. The rest I lifted in 4x4' sections with a Bobcat and transplanted them to a friends garden.

These are the last photos I’m going to post on this garden. As you know from some of the photos I had a Bamboo hedge separating the garden from the road. The Bamboo was Phyllostachys aureosulcata (Yellow Groove Bamboo). It’s a running Bamboo but was kept from entering into the garden by a 2’...

Origanum vulgare 'Aureum' (Creeping Golden Marjoram)

Here’s a few shots of the gardens in the front of the property. I even had a tiny little lawn.

Hi Linus Plant Delights Nursery has had the best selection of Aspidistra I’ve ever seen for sale. They also sell Ardisia. https://www.plantdelights.com/
