It's Bonzai Time...............

In 2004 Mosaic Mom and I went to an international Bonzai show in Orlando.
The plants were fantastic.
In transferring some old files to a new computer I came across the photos from that show.
So now you can go back to the show with me.

Figure 1 (above). The photo above is a Bougainvillea. Sure doesn't look like the ones in our yard in Florida.
Figure 2 (above). Not sure what plant it is but it is a classic bonzai form.

The first primative Aglaonema ...... A. modestum.....

This plant was the first commercially important foliage plant aglaonema.
It is hardly seen anymore, but it laid the foundation for all the varieties that came after.
It should be held in reverence....

No Till Blackberries.............

Replanted our original row of blackberries.........herbicided the old and planted the new among the dying oldies.....replumbed the drip irrigation and away we go....I will rephotograph in couple of weeks to see how this works......sure beat digging the old ones out and rototilling the soil and raking up the mess.......

This is certainly a different approach for me.....I beat the OCD on this project.....

Frilly Philly is the Best..........New Foliage Plant

Heartleaf philodendron 'Frilly Philly' is an induced mutation of the standard heartleaf philly.
Below is a photo showing the standard and the new and improved 'Frilly Philly'.
It can be grown in many ways as desk top plant, hanging basket or a decorated totem.
Frilly Philly does fantastically indoors as a trouble free house plant.


Ask for it now................demand it even...............
