<\/a><\/p>\nThis was my favorite surprise. \u00a0I THINK this is a seedling of my Sinningia leucotricha. \u00a0You can see the tiny little caudex forming just where the stem meets the soil.<\/p>\n
Here is a loganberry seedling\u2013now in its second year. \u00a0Loganberry is a hybrid between a particular blackberry and a raspberry. \u00a0Rubus<\/i> \u00d7 loganobaccus. \u00a0<\/i><\/b>The question I wonder is, does it actually come true from \u00a0seed? \u00a0Regardless, I\u2019m a berry freak, so no matter what this cane produces in the next couple of years, I\u2019ll probably love it!<\/p>\n I took cuttings of all the flowering maples last autumn when I put them to sleep in the greenhouse. \u00a0Many of them struck. \u00a0I haven\u2019t done much with them since, but they are starting to bloom in gallon pots. \u00a0This is a cutting of the species that brother Tim gave me last year.<\/p>\n This is a second-year seedling of Geranium maderense. \u00a0The way this plant grows is interesting\u2013it wants to use its old leaf stalks to hold up its main stem. \u00a0This is tough to accommodate in a pot, but I\u2019m trying! \u00a0I\u2019ve always wanted to get one of these to bloom\u2013maybe next year. \u00a0It is supposed to be biennial, but things grow slowly for me\u2026but they do grow!<\/p>\n These are three-year-old seedlings of Daphniphyllum macropodum from seeds borrowed from the arboretum.<\/p>\n This shrub came up from a seed mix called Andean shrubs. \u00a0It superficially resembles a currant, with some soft spines all over the stems and leaf buds starting from almost every leaf axil. \u00a0I looked around the web to try to identify it, but I was unsuccessful. \u00a0I\u2019ll keep looking.<\/p>\n I am the worst when it comes to labeling\u2013and these seedlings are from seeds planted years ago. \u00a0One is a palm tree, but I have no idea what the other one is. \u00a0It looks tropical, and somewhat like a citrus, but it is getting a strong branch from below the ground. \u00a0It will be interesting to see what it becomes.<\/p>\n Here is one of my two divisions of Restrepia guttulata. \u00a0The flowers are spectacular, but I\u2019ve only had flowers develop once or twice. \u00a0The plants are growing well. \u00a0I need to read more and use more orchid food to see if I can get flowers more often.<\/p>\n Another labeling mystery\u2013another second year seedling. \u00a0This could be a campanula. \u00a0Or almost anything else. \u00a0I suspect it will bloom next year\u2013then maybe I can tell what it is!<\/p>\n One of three Rhodohypoxis baurii divisions. \u00a0I love these bulbs\u2013they have nice, soft pink flowers and are low maintenance.<\/p>\n Ferns volunteer in the greenhouse pretty often. \u00a0Here are a couple different kinds that came up in one moist pot.<\/p>\n This seedling of Albizzia is about six years old\u2026it keeps trying to grow, despite a fair amount of neglect. \u00a0I unwrapped some wire from it that was on too long\u2013maybe that will help it grow a little better.<\/p>\n Here is one of the grape vines I grew from the seeds left over from giant grapes we ate at the cabin one year. \u00a0This vine is probably six years old. \u00a0I planted one of these out in the orchard garden and it is growing well this year\u2013might get grapes in a year or two (or three or four).<\/p>\n Here is one of the Masdevallia divisions I split off two years ago. \u00a0There are three of them left. \u00a0They bloomed nonstop for a really long time (six months or more), but are finally resting.<\/p>\n I potted on about a dozen foxgloves\u2013both the annual type, Foxy, and the biennial type, Apricot Beauty. \u00a0There were also 4-5 columbine seedlings, both Crystal and McKana\u2019s Giant mix. \u00a0These will all go out in the Douglas fir bed next spring.<\/p>\n This geranium cutting was languishing in a 4\u2033 pot, so I moved it on. \u00a0It is red with just a touch of orange\u2013a tough color to mix well, but it is a bright light in the greenhouse where it doesn\u2019t really have to blend with anything else.<\/p>\n Here is a pot with three Pleione bulblets\u2013from the mix I got from an Ebay seller.<\/p>\n This is a scented geranium I bought a couple years ago. \u00a0the delicate leaves are like a more graceful chrysanthemum. \u00a0The flowers are even more delicate\u2013just wispy, bright petals. \u00a0I grabbed a cutting off of it to see if it will root.<\/p>\n I started these cycads from seed about five years ago. \u00a0They are a bit anemic looking, so I moved them into more shade and top-dressed them. \u00a0Hopefully that will help darken them up and get them healthy again.<\/p>\n More label free mystery seedlings. \u00a0These are second year irids. \u00a0I suspect Dietes, but the leaves are bluer than the grandiflora that I grew from seed ten years ago.<\/p>\n Not a great picture, but this is the recently cut back Plectranthus effusus var. longitubus from Plant Delights.<\/p>\n Geranium \u201cPetals\u201d\u2013cuttings that I just trimmed back. \u00a0One of the sprouts has reverted.<\/p>\n Here is my main Pleione formosana group. \u00a0I started with one bulb about four years ago\u2013and now it is probably 20 bulbs. \u00a0I\u2019ve taken bulblets off the top of the old bulbs and potted them on. \u00a0In 3-4 years, I should have 30 Pleione flowers in the greenhouse!<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019m going through every plant in the greenhouse and potting them on and cleaning them up and throwing out all the empty pots. I knew there would be some surprises! \u00a0Here are a few: This was my favorite surprise. \u00a0I THINK this is a seedling of my Sinningia leucotricha. \u00a0You can see the tiny little … Continue reading Plant Inventory<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>This cutting was growing nicely in the greenhouse and starting to flower. \u00a0\u201cPetals\u201d has amazing leaves\u2013just incredible! \u00a0The challenge with this clone is the straggly growth. \u00a0If I had been more diligent with the pinching, I think this might have been an award winner!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
