A place to post and chat about plant pics...

AWESOME, Blake! I am so happy for you!

: )

Not to worry - mine looked like an ugly stump too when I first got it, but it will soon turn into a gorgeous specimen in no time flat! How exciting that you are growing the same banana plant as me!

Good luck, Blake. Now we can compare notes...

: )

 

and my Chilly chili ornamental pepper. the ones that are pale coler have not matured to a red.

 

Oh wow - Blake!

: O

Can't wait for our trade...

: )

P.S. That lady sent me so many of the fluorescent purple pepper seeds that I will be able to send you some sooner, rather than later! I am so excited to see how it looks!

 

Great Chile's Blake. Wow I can't keep up with this thread is this the lonest thread ever or what on this forum?

Well We are enjoying some produce out of the garden and our corgettes have been delicious. Here are a few fotos of them and the Banana and Mango.

Where the pictures are of the corgettes note that the tiles in the back ground are 6 inches wide and high to give you an idea of size.

Lovely HBL

 

Nice pictures everyone.

 

By the way, Blake...

Are those ornamental chilly chili peppers edible? I have a variety that looks similar to yours with the many different colored fruits as they ripen, and they are ornmental but edible as well. Curious about yours and if they are edible, have you tried one yet? How hot are they?

: )

 

hmmmm, I have heard its very hot and I am a little bit afraid to taste it but I guess its edible. :)

"PIQUIN - This chile pepper is 1 - 2 inches long, is thin and dries to a bright red color. For edible ristras and wreaths, this chile is normally VERY VERY HOT!"

Give them a try - they're likely delicious. I just use a pair of scissors and I cut little rings into my food right on the plate. You don't have to necessarily cook them. Are ya gonna share some of those with me, or what? They are quite pretty, and remind me of my Aurora variety.

Also, how are the Goji berry seeds working out for ya? Did ya decide to germinate a few, or are ya saving them for next year?...

: )

 

guess Ill give them a try then. :)

The seeds are almost ready, I have a big note on my wall about sending you some seeds. :) ;)

well I just planted the goji berry seeds 7 hours ago. and the rest I am saveing for next year.


:)

 

My butterfly bush with some butterflys on it:

 

OMG, Blake! Those shots are just gorgeous! Wow!

: O

I am so loving them and thanks for sharing. You should post those pics all over this forum - they are simply beautiful! The butterfly is so pretty. You must be so pleased to see such wonderful beneficial insects enjoying your shrub! Good for you, Blake. Nice job.

: )

P.S. Oh thank you for the chilly chili seeds! I will surprise you with a few cool varieties...

 

This is my rose with a red light on it, it looks so cool like a fluorescent rose. :)

 

Very pretty, Blake!

: )

 

Check out this gorgeous beauty - called 'Black Prince'. The fruits are nearly blue!

I want it...

: O

 

Also, I will have seeds for sharing soon, of this type called 'pretty purple pepper' and 'purple tiger...

: )

 

Blake Chile Piquin is edible, although in Mexico we normally dry them out crush them and make a chile powder out of them that we then sprinkle onto sliced cucumber with lime juice for a snack, or with Pineapple, Jicama, Carrots cut long ways, the lime and sweetness brings out the flavour of the chile. Delicious. It is also used to make a sauce for going with steaks and meat.

Beautiful Butterflies on lovely plants Blake...

HBL, do you mean thread or forum? if forum then only in an appropriate area like Wildlife images so the forum threads remain organised throughout the site please.

Sweet rose too Blake!

I think Blake knew what I meant, Katalina, but thanks for butting in! We all know how the forum works so you don't need to be the UBC warden - lol. I just meant that where it is appropriate Blake, post those shots up eveywhere, because they're awesome!

: )

Wow, Blake - there sure are some cool varieties on that site, so thanks. I don't think I better order any more right now though, because as you know I have tons already!

: O

 

excuse me HBL

I DO NOT 'BUTT IN' how dare yo say that?

posting one message or image everywhere on a forum is spamming, something you obviosly know nothiing about not having had your own site where you have to clean spam up.

 

I was actually just kidding around like you seem to a lot, Katalina. Your previous post speaks volumes.

I only hope that the person I addressed my post to understood what I meant. I would never promote spamming, but know of many more threads where it would be appropriate to post those lovely shots.

Thanks again Blake, for sharing them.
