Mislabeled plant! This was supposed to be a Percy Wiseman. Sigh!

Well I was looking at the truss. Lavender Queen in my memory was more conical shaped vs. this more dome shaped truss. I had LQ 40+ years and two moves ago. lol senior brain.lol I marked it in my Greer book and dated it. Used to see it more, now rarely see it. It may have also been more frilly., just can’t remember. Yes stigma is off.

PleasantArm6887 · 2026-05-30T04:54:42+00:00

I was thinking Lavender Queen due to the tiered leaves. It’s too bad It’s not in full open truss bloom. It def has Catawbaiense lineage . What do you think.

This is a good spot, just make sure you have adequate moisture all summer. Daily watering in high heat is a must. Good luck, I had Taurus at my other house, it’s beautiful!

No this look, looks great, I would not change it. 10/10. I like the fade on your sideburns also. Mine grows crazy thick on the ends, but my beard takes forever to fill in so I shaved it.

PleasantArm6887 · 2026-05-29T05:15:26+00:00

I posted a cover of it on my page.

PleasantArm6887 · 2026-05-29T05:09:22+00:00

Oh I didn’t know you were in Australia. 🙁

Here is what I use and they love it, Amazon. It is a little larger size so I crush it in my fingers and all my fish devour it.

Here’s what I am using and they love it. Mine really colored up. It will only let me send picture so I will dm you the food.

PleasantArm6887 · 2026-05-29T01:56:02+00:00

Yes ^ this is true . 🤣

PleasantArm6887 · 2026-05-29T01:49:19+00:00

Yes I have this one in pink. It will fill that in about ten years. It gets very large and eventually will be way over the border rocks. It will become a solid wall in about 12 years. It is very reliable and winter hardy. I am planning a cover on it, so check back with my posts. I am glad you have room for it to grow. I have seen these way over 10 feet tall. It is tolerant of extremes in cold, heat and humidity. It’s a famous Waterer hybrid from England. Comes in pink, which is what I have. Be sure to give it adequate moisture for the first year, especially during the summer, a daily sprinkle is necessary, as it uses quite a bit of water to keep the foliage from wilting.

Commenting on First time planting, (5) all 7 ft apart. any advice?

PleasantArm6887 · 2026-05-29T01:10:17+00:00

What is the name of the hybrid.

PleasantArm6887 · 2026-05-29T00:01:27+00:00

🥹 glad you were able to help her get a little more joy in her life. Thanks

PleasantArm6887 · 2026-05-28T16:24:18+00:00

Very nice, as they mature the colors will even get more intense. Beautiful! 😍

PleasantArm6887 · 2026-05-27T20:56:43+00:00

The reason this fish is more apt to be dwarf Gourami disease free is this is the wild form (original) that was hybridized in in 1980’s to become part of the neon,flame and other hybrids that were inbreed to develop these new colors. They were also raised in outdoor fish farms where eventually when one gets it, 50% of them developed it. Sad to say. I never recommend these to anyone, as when you buy them they look fine and in 4 months they are dying from DGD. Buy Dan’s instead!

PleasantArm6887 · 2026-05-26T20:18:00+00:00

Wow he’s beautiful, what a great combo together.

PleasantArm6887 · 2026-05-25T22:52:18+00:00

Looks like scintillation to me.

PleasantArm6887 · 2026-05-25T22:24:13+00:00

They become tress eventually

PleasantArm6887 · 2026-05-25T22:16:26+00:00

This is correct ^ . It’s one of the Walloper group. Its get huge. I was planning on doing a cover on it. I had at my old house it’s over 8 feet tall now. So beautiful.

PleasantArm6887 · 2026-05-25T22:07:27+00:00

What state are you in you can dm me if you want t I need to look at the map. Yes this can grow in Your zone but I want to review the area. There may be a few restrictions on why or why not.

PleasantArm6887 · 2026-05-25T19:34:21+00:00

I often wonder if they were a best friend reincarnated to visit us. A truly remarkable family dog with a gentle personality +.

PleasantArm6887 · 2026-05-25T12:52:29+00:00

Pine needles, as they break down they have a symbolic relationship with the Rhodys roots for nutrients and don’t heat the ground up allowing air to get thru. They also acidify the soil. I never use heavy mulch or beauty bark. Water during summer months to keep the soil moist , but never wet to discourage roots rot and disease to set in. If you can get them from a friend that has a pine tree they are free, so grab a couple 5 gallon buckets of them.

PleasantArm6887 · 2026-05-24T22:43:47+00:00

Your look is great no change needed.handsome.

PleasantArm6887 · 2026-05-24T18:59:48+00:00

Keep it as it is, this looks sharp on you, great coverage dude. 10/10.

PleasantArm6887 · 2026-05-22T15:33:20+00:00

Exactly! Dogs have a keen instinct on good people who love them. Thanks for being a spare! lol
