NOID's

17 years ago

Some NOIDs have finally put out blooms. I still have no idea what they might be. lol The first 2 are an unknown variegated brug. There appears to be a peach tint in the second pic but it's the lighting. The flowers are white. The next is one of my double whites from a seed cross. The cold temps are really having an effect on color. This one is positively green. I wish it would stay green but I'm sure it will turn white as it ages. The last is a NOID that finally bloomed. I have no idea if this was a plant grown from seed or a cutting. I couldn't find any writing on the stem and there's no tag. It's a triple pink. There's another bud that should open soon. I wonder if that will be a triple also? The quality is terrible because I took the pic at midnight. I'll get a better one tomorrow.

Here's a very pale day Dreams and the flower has been open for a couple days.

P. vitifolia is loaded with buds but I'm going to have to cut it back tomorrow : ( See all the speckles on the vitifolia foliage? That's the crap that they were spraying on the roof the second time and this doesn't wash off. It's like a hard plastic.

Cape Honeysuckle and a couple salvias.

Can someone please tell me what this hibiscus is? This is the second year I've had them. They get really tall but I don't bother moving them to the greenhouse and have never seen blooms. Some ornamental grass seeds.

    Karyn, Kyle is so cute!!! What a beautiful little face! Happy Birthday, Kyle! Your blooms are Fab as usual! Don't know the the Hib is but that foliage is beautiful!

    Ok I was able to memorize most of what I wanted to say until I saw that wonderful happy smiling face of Kyle.
    Karyn it shows how much he is loved. You are so blessed....yes you had to step back to start all over again. But there is one beautiful person growing up right under your nose :-)

    Ok lets see how much I remember without going back up rofl.

    The Hibiscus looks almost like the one I got from Kylie. Mine has a little more color in the foliage. But is TALL also. I am sure Kylie knows.

    ok that long sentence did it....got to go back up roflmao.
    I just woke up too lol

    Your honeysuckle foliage looks nothing like my bush white honeysuckle. GORGEOUS. Mine has been putting out the wonderful scent again. Which I just love.

    You are absolutely right about the colors. I have not seen that last fall. But then it was not like that. Weather wise either. Cold and rainy, rainy, rainy. They said last night that this might as well be the rainiest fall ever as it continues to predict rain. I had second year brugs that stayed almost white and were a darker pink.

    Wouldn't it be awesome to have a brug that everyone would want? lol I wonder if it colors in more...will you let us know please.

    Even the NOID variegated brug is bretty. Very nice shape.
    I guess you are leaving the NOID still out some? Isn't it way to cold already Karyn?

    Well you taking pictures at midnight and posting after that, explains why I have not seen them last night before I went to bed . WAY past my bedtime ha ha ha

    It started my day very colorful though...hugs

    Thanks. I think he's a cutie but I might not be saying that after we have his party. lol It's been a long time since I've given a kiddie bday party. Poor deprived Kyle. This will be the first time I've given him a "real" party. I used to go all out for Jake and Madi's birthdays.

    Lucy it's too cold now for some plants and I've had a bit of damage. We've had a light frost twice but the brugs look pretty good. The damage you see on the foliage is from the junk the roofers sprayed, not the temperature.

    The Cape Honeysuckle (Tecomaria capensis) isn't the fragrant Lonicera kind and it's not cold hardy. It got really big this season and will have to be cut back quite a bit but I'd like to leave it out as long as possible to enjoy the blooms. I think it can be propagated from cuttings. If you want to try some after I prune it.

    I'm sure the brugs will color up some, just not like they did a few weeks ago. The scent isn't as strong either which I think is due to the cold temps. I think I got the hibiscus seeds in the tropical seed RR that Barb hosted last winter.

    What mess? What counter top? I have eyes only for Kyle. He is a sweety pie. I could not look at anything else but his beautiful, cute and content smile.

    Karyn; Just thought that I would take a guess at your Hibiscus as being "Hibiscus Acetosella"...looks much like the one I have and when you mentioned the height, well...mine got to approx. 7 1/2 feet this year.Ross.

  • 17 years ago

    He sure is a cutie. I miss mine beeing that young. They grow up so fast. You have some pretty flowers.

    Great noids Karyn! I wish the green one would stay green. I agree with Ross on the hibiscus (acetosella), looks like mine that I bought from the herb section of a nearby nursery. Kyle is so very cute, and I love his smile!

    Very pretty plants, one beautiful child!

    Your hibiscus looks like my Red Shield Hibiscus. Some one sent me cutting a couple of years ago. The blooms on mine are almost the same color as the leaves and if you don't look close you will miss them. I didn't see any on mine this year. Mine didn't come back that I had planted in the ground but I had one that I put in the greenhouse after I cut it back.

    Karyn that stuff sure looks like it ruined the good looks on your plants :-( Good thing that it happened so late in the season. I hope that they will all be ok!!

    It is funny. I come to this thread to check for new messages...scroll down your flower pictures and say how beautiful. Then you see Kyle's picture.

    When you see his smile....it is Contagious!!!!
