In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin in Motown, z6 on September 28, 2024, 6:33 pm AHHH, CAMELLIA SEASON IS OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY, IN MICHIGAN! This is the first open Camellia flower, in my garden, since April. Like seemingly everything else, this season, this flower is a week and a half, to two weeks early, due an early spring, PA Punxy Phil got right, but Michigan Woody, got wrong. Go figure, LOL. This cultivar of Camellia sasanqua hybrid, is 'October Magic Rose', due to its deep, rose pink color. The plant is loaded with flower buds. I'll post when more open... https://photos.app.goo.gl/yNNqbievt5ySXQzH8 Here's a sign that the Christmas Holiday Season, is getting closer. Any guess, as to what type of berries these are, that are turning red? https://photos.app.goo.gl/TidaecixyHn1NLNz9 Here are a couple early fall pics, of my Bulgarian Trachycarpus... https://photos.app.goo.gl/18DnEEoYyPjCHmLQ6 https://photos.app.goo.gl/UGniyaUSJ1cKtXCD6 The FLOWERING MAPLE, Abutilon hybridus, is still doing its thing... https://photos.app.goo.gl/mtDZR293qd3EmQuK9 The TREE TOMATO/TAMARILLO, Cyphomandra betacea, is setting fruit, again. Last year's fruit set, finished ripening, indoors, in winter. That was my first time trying the fruits. They are quite tasty, with a flavor much like a sweet tomato... https://photos.app.goo.gl/upFA5LofpADqx5CM8 https://photos.app.goo.gl/PJXUynLkBBQZnqSE9

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by David-Shenandoah Valley of VA on October 2, 2024, 4:36 pm, in reply to "In My Garden Today" Happy Fall Camellia Season! It's fun to see the first blooms of any flower season. How much protection do you give the Bulgarian Trachy? It's also fun to try unusual fruits like that Tamarillo. Those berries in that second photo are some kind of holly berry. I don't know the exact species.

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin, z6 on October 2, 2024, 8:52 pm, in reply to "Re: In My Garden Today" Thanks, David. The Bulgarian is tied, and wrapped with mini Christmas lights, and covered with a wrapped styrofoam box. Yep, the berries are on my female Blue "Princess" holly. My Blue "Prince", about 20 ft away, is her consort.
