@GigiAdeniumPlumeria You have such stunning blooms!

The seeds I bought as "7440" had a picture that looks a lot like your chameleon. Now I'm even more excited about the buds. ^^

can't wait to see what your bloom would look like. Even if you do end up with a single petals, the color and pattern would still be likely a beauty!

I'm fairly sure they will be double or triple, but as for the shapes and colours, that's the big mystery.

Seedlings from doubles/triples I bought online Now all have buds but I can tell they are single pink petals. I had seedling of my own double petal open up and the bloom is single petal pink but the pattern on the petal is similar to my double.

Btw, Gigi... ever since this post, I've had this song constantly in my head nonstop.

Eh?
How to attach a video in the post?

Just take the ID for the YouTube video and put that ID only after the brackets around youtube and close brackets like usual, like this (but take the space out from the first "you tube", otherwise it would just look like the link in the above post).

Ok, tx alot

Pretty cool Nancy! I learned something new and I like the song 🎶 Irene 🎶 !

It is time to post my favorite "pruning" video. Timely for those who likes more flowers and not worried about seedpods. I can't seem to post it like Nancy though.

As he was pruning though I kept saying don't cut the buds and don't cut the one that has a seedpod. That's why I don't get much blooms. This time a year, the buds are now starting out and all I can think of is the possibility of a seedpod. So I can't bear to cut the branches with buds.

It's probably harder to do from a phone. You have to be able to see the complete url to be able to pick out which is the ID part which is always at the end. For this video it's xuIfshWqPHg from the complete url which is (I added a space to keep the site from converting it into a real url):
https:// www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=xuIfshWqPHg

So just put that ID between youtube in the usual brackets and it'll work.

I love Sony Le's videos too!

That's what I did wrong I included copied the letters. Nancy!

I love watching his videos and my pond looks like his pond but we now have a fenced in yard.

And I'm having a real hard time not cutting the 2 tallest seedlings from October every time I look at them! I keep telling myself just wait long enough to see what flowers they have, but my resolve is weakening.

If you prune them, you should get double the amount of flowers in a month since you're also in Florida like Sony. And more flowers gives you that many more chances of seedpods forming. His sounds like they bloom almost nonstop in that climate. I'd be tempted to prune at least one and see how it grows compared to the others, I honestly don't think I could help myself!

I know how you feel. I have actually followed his advice on some of my "cuttings" that I am growing into tree towers but it was so hard to cut off the ones with the buds. And I do have one that I am training to look like his but I pruned it mid February and now it is sprouting with lots of buds. But it was hard to cut even the single bloom I left the one branch with the seedpod not pruned.

Repot this arabicum as the pot become eclipsed, the roots are not as big as I expect, a lot of pruning on top and bottom, will let it air dry for a few days before repot it back to a bigger pot.

Ultra-cute fat belly in that plant!!

I caught this oleander caterpillar eating of my blooms. I transferred the blooms and the caterpillar to my pencil cactus and I noticed it left my desert rose red presents:



You can see one here too!

I agree very cute chubby arabicum indeed! speaking of arabicum, this is a bloom of an arabicum hybrid. The leaves have fuzzy underside.

More blooms today:
Pink Diamond





Double Moon

That second Pink Diamond looks so ethereal.
