Bragging on Cherub

15 years ago

We're almost at the end folks. There are 70 blooms open today, with 6 more to go. A few of these I took the other night when a bunch were just opening, hence the whiter flowers. If you will notice, as I was lying on the floor looking up at the flowers, I also caught a number of whiteflies on the undersides of the leaves!!

I just have to laugh at how impressed my non-gardener husband is! Really, anyone would have to be impressed at this chandelier-like sight!

    How old is your plant? I hope my cutting grows up just like yours!! Beautiful!!!

    Wow....that is a thing of beauty

  • 15 years ago

    That's definitely impressive and really beautiful as the plant is mostly blooms.

    This is only a year old cutting. Its main trunk is a little over an inch in diameter. Height is only maybe 4 feet, and I actually had to cut its width back by about 8" late summer because it was taking up too much room in a walkway. Imagine how many more blooms would have been on it, but I wouldn't have been able to get it inside the doorway.

    Yes Diane.....spill the beans on the STEROIDS you are feeding that thing :-)

    Wish there was some magic trick I'd use it on all the plants. No this is just Cherub's way. During summer I give MiracleGro's super bloom formula (bloom plus?) but we all know how that turns out in the summer. It just waits for shorter days to go crazy. I spent 15 minutes squishing whiteflies on the backs of leaves today. There are still so many tho. When the flowers drop off, this baby goes downstairs.

    I Think I have a Cherub coming my way from Kasha. I will be paying special interest to it now.

  • 15 years ago

    wow! that's really impressive. How's the fragrance? Even a light fragrance would have to awsome with that many open at once. My new Cherub only got to the immature bud stage when I had to bring everything in this year, but hope it does even partly as well as you have achieved.

    Show's beginning to wind down, the first few blooms are beginning to wither ):

  • 15 years ago

    Thanks again Kylie....I look forward to such a bloom at this end too :-)

  • 15 years ago

    I also got one of these from Kathy. I am super excited seeing this picture. LOL...I make it sound like this was the first time I looked at your picture of that Cherub when I have been looking at this picture every day for a couple weeks now!

    I can't wait to see how Cherub performs for all of you. Mine is now cut back and leafless, in the basement, going to sleep for the winter. I don't expect to see anything like its blooms again till late next summer now.
