Montauk Daisy... I am lusting after this plant
Comments (22)I've read this post a couple days ago. Of course, same as beck wi, I've decided "I gotta have one". Yesterday, passing by HD, what did I see at the front - a beautiful Montauk Daisys. Now, I have a question, it is getting a bit cool - do I still have a time to put it in the ground. From previous posts seems like it is pretty hardy and should survive. I hope....See MoreMalagasy Aloe Love/Lust For Mara
Comments (10)I have the KG hybrid "Fire Ranch" that has this as a parent with Aloe vaombe (if I remember right). You can see it here being upstaged by the A. cameroni. I have tried to grow it in the ground because the literature said it was hardy to Z7, Hahahahahahahaha. I have killed it three times but I saved a pup and took it inside for the big freeze we had a couple of years ago. I treat it as a tropical . It shows freeze damage at 28 . It has the clustering blooms that are somewhat reminiscent of this parent. The one I killed would bloom. I am hoping this decendant will bloom soon. I love the habitat shots of the Aloe capitata cipinacola. I was not aware that it developed a trunk and got so tall. Yum, things that I have to look forward to. I guess the A. capitata var Capitata does the same....See MoreLustful Horizontally Rooted Cuttings
Comments (11)Cool. I have found that I can almost entirely alleviate fungus gnat by bottom-watering. If the soil is NOT wet on top, they prefer not to lay their eggs there. So I have resorted to bottom-watering everything. This is perfect for mixes that have lots of chunky perlite and pine bark, but seems to cause water retention with anything with Sphagnum moss. My mix looks similar to what you have there, but I probably have about 30-40% more perlite and small bark chips and handles bottom-water really well, but with all that fine content in the pictures, I thought it might hold a lot of water. I have also found that watering by filling up the saucer every 4-5 days on my 2gal-4gal figs seems to work really well. I always see setups like the one you're showing in the Sky magazine on Delta airplanes. I've always wanted to buy one for herb and lettuce gardening. I would have never thought to use for cuttings.

Comments (15)Thanks everyone! Lavender_lass, they are all interplanted actually, but I think the first picture has more Walker's Low in it. The main difference between the two varieties seems to be that Blue Wonder seems to be a slightly deeper shade of purple. I see almost no difference in ultimate height or width between them, which is odd, but *shrug*. I also have a few Six Hills Giant, but they are also just about identical to the rest, and certainly not obviously "gigantic". LOL! I am wondering--do any of you grow any of the pink or even less common white nepetas? If so, what have your experiences with them been like?...See Moregarek007
