| 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 . . .

| 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' |

purpleinopp said:Hi & welcome! You have a super Cordy collection! TY for sharing the beautiful pics. 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.  Seeking Feng Shui with my plants since 1976 |

dyzzypyxxy said: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.Seeking Feng Shui with my plants since 1976 |

If you're into night bloomers there is always Trichosanthes! It's perennial here in zone 8. Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. Douglas Adams |
