"Hmmm, to me it doesn't look as a Picea omorika needle. Resin, you are the true expert, you can help us out (I hope)" Sorry, not been looking in on this thread much as it takes a while to load! I've seen very similar foliage on heavily shaded Picea omorika. This one looks shaded, but not heavily shaded, so it is hard to be sure. It could possibly be a hybrid, and P. breweriana looks a potential candidate (though I've not heard of any verified hybrids of this parentage). I suspect it may mean waiting for it to produce some cones, which may not be for a long time in a shaded position. Resin

Thank you steve. I sure am hoping to spend more time in the garden this year. I really missed seeing all the pictures shared on the forum, too.. . and walking through the garden shops touching leaves and spending all of next weeks food budget on hostas. . .hehe

Ahhhh Gesila I love your streakers !!! I plan on getting a few myself this year. :) No one lied when they said Sagae was gorgeous. I ordered mine this year from Hallson. Even as a juvenile it is commanding attention. Do you hybridize at all with your streakers ? Ludi

K, What beautiful pics !!! You not only can grow plumerias but have an eye for a good shot of them too. Thanks so much for taking the time to share them with us. I live with 3 cats and they can be hard on the plants. I had 2 that were chasing each other and manages to pull a stake right out of the pot but fortunately, the newly rooted, cutting wasn't tied too tight to and slid right past it. It still is leaning but I'll wait to straighten it up when it has had some time to recover. I checked to see if they had ripped the roots off but it seems to be ok. They also ran over a banana plant and broke it in half. I'd rather loose the banana. Anybody want a cat??? Peg
