In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin in Motown, z6 on March 7, 2025, 8:10 pm More seasonal temps are returning, here, over the next week. Not warm, but more March-like. Such temps should usher in some of the first outdoor spring blooms. I'm looking forward to it, lol... One of my CLIVIA plants has begun blooming. This one often blooms two times per year. Mind you, this plant has not been watered since coming inside, late last October, and will not be watered again, until it goes back outside, late next month: https://photos.app.goo.gl/hpKxnBdt9XhZzFqg8 This one can bloom year'round, if not allowed to die-back to frost. The cultivar is 'Miss Huff'. You probably know what type of plant she is: https://photos.app.goo.gl/AGW9p2ZKcjNtZmX26 This one of my seed-grown Camellia japonicas is still blooming: https://photos.app.goo.gl/houjgsPVnm9Hkesu9 The MAMEY SAPOTE, Pouteria sapote, is putting on new "spring" foliage: https://photos.app.goo.gl/TQhdxRyGed1w6vNWA

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Fred SC on March 8, 2025, 7:24 am, in reply to "In My Garden Today" Alvin, Clivia is beautiful. Mine is still healthy but no bloom in last 4 years??? It is probably 40 years old . I repotted it and cured its health problems 3 years ago but no bloom ??? It always bloomed every year. Miss Huff is quite hardy. They grow a lot of lantanas here. It gets quite bush-like in size, quite large. My daughter has a yellow one at her mailbox. Aspire has that tropical look with new growth. The pink bloom of your Camellia is beautiful. Spring is I. Full swing here. Here is my daughter’s magnolia as long with a row of live oak in Mauldin to my /https://i.ibb.co/dwgqb28t/IMG-6174.jpg https://i.ibb.co/Kc0w3hfN/IMG-6175.jpg https://i.ibb.co/dwgqb28t/IMG-6174.jpg

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Keith N. IL on March 8, 2025, 4:17 pm, in reply to "In My Garden Today" That is a beautiful flower for a seed grown Camellia.

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin, z6 on March 9, 2025, 12:15 am, in reply to "Re: In My Garden Today" Thanks, Fred. Is that a Jane, Ann, or other hybrid Magnolia ? It looks different from the Saucer Magnolia. I was not able to keep any Lantanas alive through a winter, here...even with protection. This one I've had for 3 years.

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin, z6 on March 9, 2025, 12:18 am, in reply to "Re: In My Garden Today" Thank, Keith. The seeds came from Camellia Forest, 15 yrs ago. They said their seeds come from plants on their grounds. So it could be an offspring of one of their pink cultivars.
