Tash – Thanks again for coming to the rescue and starting a new thread for us once again. I think you’re doing the wise thing in holding off from getting too many new plants until you’re well and truly sure the cause of your problems have been sorted out.
I love the Neo. Purple Star though, it’s certainly one to be admired, and like Wendy I have a few which I’m hanging on to as well. I could sell everyone of them as “quick as a wink” because everyone who sees them wants to buy them. Was that one from our mutual friend’s collection”? She had a really good clone of it and she does grow good quality Neo’s. I have a few others from different growers and although not as good, they’re all still nice.
Wendy – Just beware of these pains in the back when you have a cold; if it’s just the usual aches and pains, no problem, but if it’s a “sharp” pain it could be the start of pleurisy and you need to see a doctor quick smart or it will lay you low a lot longer than a cold will.
You say you have a problem with Johnny flicking channels on the T.V; well I have the same problem with my wife. The thing is she can watch two programmes at once and still follow them, when I complain I’m told I should learn to multi-skill like a woman!
I’m a bit like you Wendy and have to rely on a note book to remember things as well. The only problem is I often forget where I put the bloody note book!
I’ve seen pictures of trees loaded with Till’s in other people’s collections as well; infact our president had a Bottle Brush at the front of his house on which he mounted three Till’s a few years back; now there are Till. Seedlings popping up all over the place and it makes you wonder that if they started up in the bush somewhere could they become feral like the “old man’s whiskers” has in some areas?
Shirley – I like your Neo Peggy Bailey, it’s a fine example of an albo-marginated plant. And I don’t think I can say anything about Purple Star that hasn’t already been said. With Neo Midnight (previously called Voo Doo), you can get all of the green markings out of the foliage if you want to by growing it in a pretty much shaded area, in fact it will be that close to black that it’s hard to see it isn’t.
As for the collection belonging to Nina and Jarka Rehak which I spoke of in the previous thread, yes they did it all themselves but I think Nina is the main designer, she never stops. I haven’t got any pic’s but if I get up there again I’ll take some but it’s so steep it’s hard to capture it and show it accurately.
Well I’d better finish as I’ve already written a bit on the previous page so a few more pic’s of Lyndi’s Singapore Garden to finish up with.
