A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Gardener's Chat Blooming in Savannah *not my plants*

this is a disclaimer, these are NOT MY PLANTS... so please, no compliments... but they are beautiful so here you go!

first is what i think is indian hawthorne. at least that is what my daughter calls it. it is in front of applebee's.


the second is cherokee rose... not the best pic, but the wind was blowing and i was not really happy to be where i was when i took it.

next, as promised a picture of some wisteria. this pic has both white and purple


a closer pick of the white


and the closest of the white


and while the white does have a fragrance, it is not as fragrant as the purple. (i smelled them while i was taking the pictures)

oh, and for the record, if anyone needs a very thorny barrier plant, the cherokee rose is a good one. the thorns on it are near an inch long or longer!

I know ~~ Right!!!

can it be started by a cutting?

yes it can. i have a source for all the cuttings i want (cherokee rose), i tried some a couple of years ago and didn't get anywhere with them. i'm going to try again. i want some wisteria, but haven't gotten that far. i had some, and let it die when i was dealing with ellie's wedding.

don't it smell good?! i was smelling it just now myself. it's amazing how that works.

Hi Jiffy!

Wow! You took some great shots. The purple and white wisteria are gorgeous. I'm glad you took in a smell or two as I was going to ask you if they were fragranced and which was more profuse. :)

I had not seen white wisteria until last week. Years ago, I planted a purple wisteria in a pot. Never did it bloom. :( It did live for years though, then finally died.

Thanks again for those great shots of plants down your way!

i just re-read this, and realized ya'll might have been asking about the wisteria. and yes, it can be started by cutting too.

i have more pics for you...

first, wisteria in a tree


and wisteria in a bigger tree - yes those ARE power lines disecting the pictures

a section of wetland... not really pond, but something natural

something i don't know the name of


and a closer shot of it


and a relative of it


this was between the road and the wetlands

dogwood and cherokee rose in front of my next door neighbor


and MY azalea,


and while it isn't "blooming" yet, here is my crepe myrtle greening out


and that's it for today

i'm sure going to try... when i feel better... i want some too!

and cindy, that isn't even the "dip" i tell loz about. the dip is drier, but deeper, if that makes sense.
