thanks!

i love this cordaline
reminds me of a lady with long purple hair. Had 3 flower stems on it this year. Grew so fast, i only got it a year or so ago and it was just little.

guess this is why they call it candy cane bamboo..
and my blue bamboo is looking a little blue..

Crypts getting flowers..
What i thought was a dragon fruit turned out to be a pitaya instead, it fruited and was yellow not red. hehe!

Bree, Is pitaya not a dragon fruit? I know there are several different varieties called dragon fruit...I have one that was given to me as an epiphylum, but most of them around here look like epies, only with more thorns and yellow flowers, and heavier growth. Mine will never bloom, as it is in too much shade, but it keeps climbing over the 9 ' wall. We have a large Vietnamese population here and they grow them for the fruit. I personaly don't think it is worth the space....

Cool stuff!!!! I especially like the candy cane bamboo!

Carol- yeah it may well be but the dragonfruit i know has the pink fruit with the white inside and the pitaya has the yellow fruit. My plant is only small and has had one flower (that i know of) and one fruit that was perfect. It was a cutting i got sent in the mail. the flower was white and reallly big, opened one night/early morning and i missed it but saw it closed. Since it fruited that means it was pollinated doesnt it? what with though?
The black bit on the plant is where i pulled the fruit from.
