Willii's Gold took his own sweet time coming back for me this year. I find this one and Miss Andrea unusually hardy.

I thought I had lost a month somewhere, so I had to check the calendar this week. The flowering season is off to a early start.

Hmmm, nice bloom spikes, maybe it it time for me to put a bit of fertilizer on mine.

I picked this one up last month from a local nursery with no name.

Hetty, They are not named, but I do give them #'s to keep track of.
Here is #96:

Thanks to Hetty this one is now named 'Delicacy'

A perfect name for such a pretty plant - those delicate shadings and colors are to die for!

, your new noid is to die for also. I think if I lived in an area with nurseries like yours I would be in big financial trouble. LOL

I've been checking for buds but nothing yet..

I really like Lemon Lime, Kiwi and Kaupo Beauty!

Some pretty flowers on my noid pink-ish ones out front, and lots of pink on one of the cuttings back in the nursery bed.


Ballerina and Pele's Smoke still aren't exactly blowing me away with color. Think I need to up-pot Ballerina, though. Or maybe just put her in the ground and see how she does.

I am contemplating what to do with my only surviving seedling which is now about 8 inches tall. It has some red on the edges of the leaf. I wonder if @ScotTi thinks I should put it in a bigger pot and fertilize, or wait until spring.

Elaine, Your pink noid looks to be 'Jackie' a good fast grower.
I have had 'Ballerina' for 8 yrs and it is not a easy grow. At times I want to pull it out and add to the compost pile, but it takes up very little space in the garden. I was blessed a few years ago with my 'Ballerina' giving me it's common (larger leaf/ loads of color) sport plant of 'John Klass' (photo).

Hetty, What size pot is your seedling in? Best bet for a 8" tall plant is a gallon size pot for good root development.
Here is a patch of 1 year old seedlings showing the first hint of color.

Well, I can certainly give Ballerina some TLC if there's a chance that John Klass will show up! That's lovely.

Thanks for the name on 'Jackie' I have a whole bunch of them, and propagated some more cuttings this summer, too.

My plant is in the same one gallon pot it germinated in, Scott. So I guess I will leave it until spring.

Pretty flowers Elaine, I only have one Ti flowering right now, the Peppermint Swirl, and kind of surprised since grasshoppers ate the heck out of it this year.

'Pink Diamond' is a easy grow and shows great color all year.

I stayed away from the green Ti for years as I saw no real treat for it adding color to the landscape. Last year I thought I would give a few of the named green varieties a try. This one is the "Sacred Green" plant used for the making of the skirts, cooking and other uses. I am pleased and am glad I gave it a try.
