"made me go there." LMBO!!!
Can't wait to see folks' new beauties!

That is what a site with garden porn will do to a gardener.

Oh jeeze .. you guys are terrible .. I guess I'd better order before they run out!

They've already sold out of the black one, I noticed. I'm having to hold back until I figure out where I can grow some more Ti plants. But . . . oh dear, they have Brugmansias too . . .

Way to stimulate the economy, Scott, you enabler you!

Indeed! Gotta find a vaccine for these plant viruses I keep catching. I ended up ordering Keelys Golden, Prince Albert and Leisha. I didn't dare look at anything else.

Hetty,
You are going to like the plain green one. I stayed away from the plain green for many years. I finally purchased one last year and went ahead and purchased another this spring.
Anne,
'Prince Albert' is a very fast growing Ti. I think I started my log 3 years ago and the plant now is 9' tall. Another very fast grower is 'Rooster Tail'


Leisha




'Rooster Tail'

A potted plant for me too. I only have one kind, so far. Still regret not buying a diff one I saw a couple yrs ago.

Two of my stems have buds that should pop open soon! ('Red Sister.')

Thanks for the welcome! If your flowers set fruit let it mature and plant the seed. The Ti from the seed will not look like the mother plant. You will get many different leaf types and colors. Here is one from my 'Red Sister'...

Oh lord I think I just found another plant addiction

By the way, Scot Ti. And I get loads of seeds on my plants so I guess I should get serious with those......

Ignorant question from a wanna be addict Is a Ti a Cordyline? Or vice-versa. This summer I had the opportunity to buy an awesome Ti in an 8 " pot at Lowes when they slashed prices from $ 29 to $ 5. When I made up my mind and went back, gone. I was like grrrr (same thing happened with a Hamelia patens at Walmart - 29 $ to 6. Went back and walked away again. Went back and gone. Probably just as well cause it would be just another lug plant.)

You guys ARE getting me quite anxious.

David, Here is a page I did on another plant forum introducing people to the Cordyline and it will answer your question and then some.

David, you really do need to ask Santa for a greenhouse for Xmas . . . then you'd just have to lug all your tropicals into and out of the greenhouse each season change.

Heh. Unfortunately, I would have to heat it. My heating bill for my house runs 200 - 300 per month in a bad winter (Jan-feb 2014 for example). My wife barely puts up with me as it is.

I tried to convince her to convert a screened in patio area to a sun room and she would have none of it unless "I did it right". No way - would have cost close to 5 K $.

WAIT! Maybe I could find a Used GH And tell her how much money I saved by buying a Used GH.
"But Honey - we could free up so much space in the living, front and dining rooms! Not to mention my BR and the back BR"


Oopsy. Forgot the Kitchen. That is where the 15 orchids live. I just know they would do well in a sun room.

Spoken like a true addict.

You took the words right offa my page, Alice . .

I know I do not need another plant addiction. Cordylines, Crotons, Broms, Palms and Orchids seems to be enough. But I never know what may strike my fancy next.

I could always try to talk you over to the Plumeria side...

No need to talk me over ....they are here already.

Excellent! Love that second one - does it have a name?

If you're into night bloomers there is always Trichosanthes! It's perennial here in zone 8.
