Very cool plants you guys have. I fell in love with succulents after seeing the great succulent room at the NY Botanical Garden. I really don't know much about them though, but I'd love to be able to find some of the more unusual varieties. unprofessional posted:I am also into rare conifers and grafting. Well, that's a sentence I've never heard before, and may never hear again. But I think it's awesome that you're doing it. What do you use as rootstock, is there a gold standard species for conifer grafting? unprofessional posted:Check out those possible witches brooms and get pictures! They're out there more than people realize, and you could name your own cultivar! I thought witches brooms formed because of hormonal response to stress damage from pathogens. So can they really be considered "cultivars" if the DNA of the plant is unchanged from wildtype? Or are they considered cultivars because the pathogen is still present in the grafting and therefore continuing the effects, and thus you can continue the lineage only through grafting?

I love seeing everybody's pictures (I wish my snake plant looked half that good) and hope people keep posting more, so here's two of my succulent terrariums.

I love oleander, it's one of the plants I really miss from the Deep South, along with live oaks and magnolias. (Real magnolias, not those boring little dwarf magnolias that can grow anywhere).

That's a very cool pattern. I had 25 beautiful orchids in great shape, but then I moved somewhere in the dead of winter where my belongings had to be in storage for a month, so I had to give them all away so that they wouldn't die. I'm still pretty sad about it, because I haven't seen any nice orchids for sale in the area I live in now.

Yoshi Jjang posted:Not sure where to post, so I hope in here is okay. The Hardiness zones don't matter a bit for what you keep indoors. And you could plant a Rex Begonia as a summer annual easily anywhere in America, the Hardiness zone tells you what can thrive year round. In your case, 9B is probably warm enough for year round planting if you choose a location with a warmer micro-climate, like near some stones, or a brick wall, etc. Rex begonias aren't very fast-growing, so you don't need to worry about that. They do need enough bright, indirect light in order to keep the bright variegation though. So if your dining room table is in the middle of a room, that's probably not close enough to a window for a long-term happy begonia. But if you just want it to look nice for 4 months, it'd be fine.

speaksoftly posted:Does anyone here use grow lights? Right now I have a cactus, a steel plant and a evergreen inside for the winter and I know they aren't getting enough light. I can't move them into the room with the best light because it gets cold in there very easily. Would one of these work? http://amzn.to/1hFAVF9 Or, am I going to have to find a way to chisel out room and use something like this? http://amzn.to/19jlwHR If you put the high-watt CFL inside a clamp reflector, it will work well for one plant, but it probably won't have enough spread for multiple plants. You can get cheaper set-ups than the T5 stand you linked by just buying a T8 shop-light from a Home Depot kind of place.

Might actually be too hot for the Lupines. I don't know any official info about them, but I do know I seem them everywhere in the many zone 6 areas I've lived in, and never once in the zone 8 region I lived in.

Looks like a black walnut tree from this distance, although I wouldn't call their fruit spiny.
