PLUMERIA



Somebody put a cutting on a sidewalk for free and I picked it up. Let it callous for 3 days and planted it. So happy to see new growth in a week and flowers to boot. I don't have this color of Plumeria so I                                                                     am so excited. Freebies don't come by too often.

                                                          Epiphyllum Dutchman's Beard

This variety of Epiphyllum looks different from the rest. The leaves are softer and thinner. It is easy to propagate and does well in the Los Angeles area. It has a very nice fragrance but the flowers don't last very long.

I made several succulent pumpkin arrangements this year to sell. I sold 45 arrangements mostly smaller ones. I had lots of fun doing this.  It is time consuming but easy to make. I am growing my succulents in the ground to provide me more cuttings.

                                                            AEONIUM SUNBURST

This is my favorite kind of Aeonium. They are so pretty right now with the cooler nights we are having.  All Aeoniums are waking up after summer dormancy.  I am trying to propagate them as I see small babies. Am  planting them in the ground- they get much bigger and healthier.

                                         

                                                Kalanchoe. Mother of thousands or Millions.


This plant multiplies like crazy, by dropping those babies. They are easy to grow and loves being in the sun. The babies grow on the edge of each leaf and I leave them there until they drop.

                                                     
 

                                                            EPIPHYLLUM HOOKERI


My Epi Hookeri started blooming again. It must like to cooler nights we have been having. The blooms only last a day, but well worth waiting for.
