These are so cool!. I would grow one if they weren't so big or stinky :). How long are the leaves? Susan

FORE!! False TPBM stroked the underbelly of a Boeing 787 today.

:clap::drool::drool::drool::clap:. Susan

True in the fact I am always in charge of domestic duties. TPBM spent their morning in the largest building by volume in the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_Everett_Factory

Thank you all. It is truly a labor of love. Susan

False-no clematis, no outside garden. TPBM started a new job today.

I had a very busy day. I have been working on a quilt that will be donated to an organization that will distribute to a wounded soldier. I finished piecing the quilt top on Memorial Day and my goal was to quilt and bind the quilt by July 4. I was successful and completed the quilt yesterday...

No, it's a seedling and not awarded. The tag says 'Select' x 'Wenzel Son'. Susan

Thank you for the nice comments everyone :). What is it now? I haven't done anything special. This is the first one I have owned and got it last year shortly after it had bloomed for someone else. I grow it inside under T5 fluorescents and give as much light as I can. In short, no...

Now that's my kind of dinner :drool::drool::drool:. Susan

Definitely a bad hair day, but I would wait and see what happens on the next blooming-could be a variety of factors. Susan

I have a thing for blue Catts and think these cuties are just plain adorable. They smell just as sweet as they look. Susan

Catt. x dolosa is a natural hybrid between walkeriana and loddigessii. Susan

Probably not, but maybe then next weekend. TPBM thinks these photos are really cool http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2011/06/volcano_erupts_in_chile.html.

I have a plant labeled as lamyaiae also that to me looks identical to unicum. I too have been wondering what the difference is between the two. I wonder if the plants are perhaps mislabeled and this is adding to the confusion :confused:. Susan

Funny that this thread came up. I just took a class on making soft cheeses and we made mozzarella in class. I have had more fun making homemade ricotta, mascarpone, and am currently working on some chevre. The most common reason for the curd not forming well is the milk. It is best to get the...

I grow inside under T5 fluorescent lights (4-bulb 48 inch fixture). Temperatures can get in the 60s F in the winter for a low and up to about 85 F for a high in the summer. Humidity runs generally 50-60%. I don't really track the specifics since I have few options to control them. The total...

Thank you all for the kind words. Yes, these are worth growing for the foliage alone, and yes, this plant has been quite healthy and rather vigorous based on what others have said. Total plant span is about 21 cm. Natural spread of the flower is about 6.5 cm. Susan

Still a small plant blooming for the first time. What I have found most interesting has been watching the color develop in the buds. The color starts out as spots and stripes that come together to form the solid red. Susan

First bloom. I got this cutie as a baby from Ernie about 2 years ago. I think I detected slight fragrance this morning. Susan
