Ever wonder what light-green Camellia sinensis look like as a plant ? Here , Camellia sinensis , or the true green tea tree , which is a Camellia , flower on a chilly September break of day . Mmmm … .I want tea leaf .
Nature is so powerful , that I could not hold beack the Cyclamen from blooming . Usually , I start watering the medulla around the first of September , but these C. graecum are already blooming . In fact , around the world many Cyclamen graecum are flower early . This is one Cyclamen species that prefer to stay a little dampness in the summer , at least it ’s ‘ feet ’ , since it has impregnable anchor roots that choose not to go sleeping . This class I carefully repotted the bulbs , but was thrifty not to disturb the ascendent system or root formal , and in fact , childlike slid the root multitude into a slightly orotund flowerpot ( these overnice novel Guy Wolff pots which I recieved over the summer ! ) . More postings on Cylcamen later … .Of remark , the recent fire in Greece , where these are native , are indeed natural , and the cyclamen boom there should be honest than normal , regardless if the fire were jump by arson or not . Many cyclamen , and bulbs , native to summertime - dry areas are designed to subsist flak , and even boom after the competition of pot and shrubs are burned off . Many seminal fluid of such bulb even require smoke exposure in parliamentary law to germinate .
These first parky break of the day intend the coming of autumn , and thusly , the Nerine sarniensis crossing have obtain thier first treatment of “ gloaming rain ’ , to activate them into growth for the winter . This fourth dimension I used rain piddle with about 5 % nitogen in it , mimic the first African electric storm , to see if this will brace these nototiously difficult to grow bulbs to transmit up thier dorman buds . In the rock garden , a few branchlet of Zauchneria californica are decorating my desk this good morning . This works is thriving in the summer raised layer next to the greenhouse , and apears to be either self seeding or spread out into a gravid mountain after 5 years . assume at a NARGS plant auction , this zone 7 - 8 industrial plant seemingly likes it ’s office in my zone 5 garden . Micro zone , do exist , as we all have it away , but I am sure that planetary warming is helping !
Another NARGS seed sale item , I think this is Sythyris or something like that … at least that is what the lable says , but it is wearing off…….any ideas anyone ? About 4 in tall , in the rock garden .
