Cynthia, I am very happy for you. Please remember to post pictures...I can't wait to see them.

Don't forget to share with us the progress of them please.

I order two grafted ade from Thailand but i left it in S. Florida with my husband. So far it is not died but not close on flowering. Was not planning to stay in Ga. for long. He is coming home next week and bringing it home, maybe i can save these two and hope it flowers.

Congrats Cynthia. I hope they begin putting out leaves for you soon. How fun to get new plants. I cannot wait to see photos either.

You made me laugh out loud with your 'resting nose' comment. Since I live so far north I know that feeling all too well when all you are posting photos with leaves on your plants I'm constantly checking mine waiting...waiting in hopes mine will magically rush to put on leaves too.

Enjoy your new plants.

Thanks, ladies :) I will put up pictures soon.

Cara - I bet your plants just need a little TLC; I know you'll be glad to have them with you.

LL- I made myself laugh when I pictured holding the plant so close to see the little buds. I knew I couldn't be the only one to do that!

Maithong on the left, Ploy Pakay on the right. I'm beyond excited that Maithong is sprouting so many branches; there's another bud on the opposite side. Please let the blooms really be yellow with pink edges, please . . . :)

Cynthia

Cynthia,

Your new plants look really good. The grafts look very strong and congrats on all those branches on Maithong. That looks like it will be a lovely plant for you.

I have Ploy Pakay too and LOVE it. It is such a beautiful, delicate, feminine looking flower. I hope they bloom accurately for you. Good luck girl.

Thanks, LL. The grafts are strong but boy, are they butt-ugly!

Do you have pictures of your Ploy Pakay blooming? I'd love to see it.

Cynthia

Cynthia,

The grafts will begin to look nicer as the stems begin to add girth. It is like a tree when you cut a limb off, eventually the plant heals itself and you hardly see the scaring.

I will go through my photos to see if I have a picture of mine blooming. If I do I will definitely post it.
