Growing Plumeria from Cuttings

Plumeria, the tree that the Hawaiian lei flower comes from, can be grown from a 'cutting'.

All you have to do is gently break off about 8" from a branch tip and place it in a well drained pot. Water the Plumeria a tiny bit every 2 days and make sure it has partial to full sun. They can't take the cold!

The image is of a pink Plumeria I started from a cutting about 2 months ago and it pushing through its first leaf. I'm excited!

I'll post more photos as it grows so you can see the progress.

Edible Wild Mushrooms

Look at these beautiful clumps of mushrooms! Just enough rain and shade on this hillside.

I really wish I could identify shrooms and know which ones you can eat. Does anyone know if you can eat these in the picture and what they're called?

Malus sp 'Snow Flake'

This is such a simple, beautiful apple tree. I love having some blooms before Spring! What an anxious little puppy.

Ambition

I used to have a life... Now I just have money.

Basketball

It's so nice to sit, eat and watch other people break a sweat and feel like I did something.

Ground covers around stone steps

I love stone steppers, but finding a ground cover that legitimately grows between 'foot trafficked' stones can be difficult. Here is one I love, Rubus. If you have a decently moist and partial shade area, Rubus will follow the soil between and looks great!

Variagated tree

It's not usual to see a variated tree of this size. This is a variagated tulip tree, tulipifera I believe. They have nice large blooms, but they get the name from the tulip shaped leaf. I'm not sure if this photo is going to show up well, but this one is close to 30' tall, still in the box.
