I have two double and two triple Santas, go figure. I have "loved to death" several very wonderful plants, booo.
I am still trying to find the "perfect" potting mix for here. Must have five or more different mixes, confusing. I would use just sand, but it's too heavy! Plus the weather is waccko. The last week it's been such low humidity, very sunny and breezy, that everything dries really quickly. Then sometimes it'll rain for a few days, and then be cloudyish for a week, and everybody is too wet. erghhh.
I have two plants that are rather fragrant, I'm trying to cross pollinate them. Wish me luck! One is white and looks like some fat caudex arabicum ancestry, and the other is spindly and named "Siam Golden Aroma", but has only some gold. Lots of pink stripes. Photos later---
One out of the eighty-some plants I've been growing at the Botannical Gardens is having troubles with not enough Boron, or some other element. Spindly petals. Why one of all of them? Weird. But then three rotted, with the same care and potting mix as the others. All the plants are from one pod from a pink plant I have.
