Soultan-You are the BEST!

19 years ago

I just received my package from Soultan. 2 bulbs that he hand picked for me-Vera and Elvas. Also he sent me a jade cutting-I love jade plants, my mother used to have a huge one! Tell me about the audio CD. The singing is beautiful! What a voice.

Here's my goodies

I have never seen such a huge bulb as Vera. Keep in mind I have large hands and long fingers. It's awesome! I see some greenies peeking up, too.

    Soultan, are you still going to be placing a large order for more bulbs? Can I see that list again, I may be tempted....lol

    Tonight Dennis came home and asked, what are those huge onions on the patio?? Where did you get them? I laffed my butt off.........well nearly

    Most awesome, Cindee! Nice "onions"!!! LOL!

    Every Jade plant I've ever had, I killed... I think I over-watered them... I must have. A friend of mine has what I'd call a Jade Tree, it's so huge! Every leaf she sticks in soil grows... mine always die... I was not meant to have succulents! LOL!

    Be sure to keep us posted on the bulbs' growth!

    Wow! Look at the size of that bulb!!! It's humungous.

    Dizzy I have never seen such a huge bulb! It is getting some green leaves peering up from the neck. It will get a good sweet girlfriend "Maria Soak" then into planting medium.

    OK Amaryllis aside here's some honey fragranced Mexican Sunflowers to send you to dreamland. The wind has been hefty here today and it is tipping over my 12-15 foot Mexican Sunflower tree, the branches are just snapping in the wind. I need to trim it way back this week, but the flowers are just yummy!

    Sorry for the diversion, folks. I love plants and especially those that have fragrance. Imagine honey warmed with melted butter and a touch of vanilla. That is what this baby smells like.

    Soultan, you want a cutting? My friend who shared this plant with me tells me it is a "whore" (blushing!!!) It starts from cuttings very easy and cutting it needs! Anyone want some?

    Cindeea,
    It is an amazing yellow, I'm sure it smells the way it looks.

    Cindee,

    The CD is a copy of a CD that I bought in my Hungarian trip now. The woman is Andrea Mahó. She is singing Andrew Lloyd Webber musical numbers on it in Hungarian. I thought maybe this will be the first time you will hear someone speak Hungarian. I will send you jpegs of the covers, so you can dress it up well. I just didn't want to warn you before, so I could surprise you with it. I saw her in the Hungarian production of The Phantom of the Opera on my trip. WOW. I just had to buy this CD.

    Also, didn't you find the Sprekelia Formossissima seedpod I put in the package? I hope you did.

    I have a lot of jade in my house right now and I tried to pick up the larges cutting that I could squeeze in the package for you. I don't know how well you are supplied with Jade plants in your area, but I took a chance. I am glad that you like it, and I hope it will survive well for you. It should in your climate too.

    The shipping was EXTREMELY fast. I put the package on its way on Saturday 3 p.m. Good to know that USPS delivers fast...

    OH NO Soultan, I didn't find the seed pod...dang and the trash went out today...wait, I still have the box, let me go look...how stoopid of me to be so careless.....FOUND IT! Thanks! It was burried in the popcorn. I pollinated mine this spring and had a bunch of seedlings come up-skinny and then they all laid down and died...we had a closed casket ceremony RIP. Now I have another chance. I will plant them in a much shallower tray than I used last time and keep them out of the breeze.

    The CD-I find hungarian language very romantic sounding. My maternal gram was Hungarian and Czek and grandfather was from Austria. As kids, gram would yell at us in Hungarian, because she was cussing at us and didn't want us to really hear what she was saying. The music is very warm and soothing. I want to get a portable CD player with ear phones to take to the hospital with me. This is one CD that will be packed in my kit for sure! Thank you so much for sharing your world and culture with me.

    I am glad you found the seed pod.
    I decided that I was not so in love with Sprekelia, so I will just keep the bulbs and plant them around the house, but I am not planning to germinate the seeds. I hope they will come up easily for you, and you can grow nice bulbs for yourself.

    I am glad you like the CD. As soon as I steal a little time away for myself, I will create the jpegs for you, so you can label and dress it up, not to mention, get the track list. :o)
