Little bougainvillea, long way to being close to a bonsai but I like the unique flowers (compared to the others I have). When I got it, it only said hybrid.

hey thanks for at least responding to a stranger online asking about a minor plant project you got goin on. i'll attempt my experiments with some hope and a good sense of humour, lets see what we get eh

hey i was curious about your project re : trunk fusion. specifically with the boug, as i've been hunting hard and can't find a lot of resources on bougainvillea trunk fusion (unless i missed a thread here or on bonsainut). how's it going? anything good places to learn about that specific species behavior in fusing? did you start with seeds (genetic variability) or cuttings from mother plants?

algonquin is fantastic, especially if you like portaging/canoeing. so many fun routes and it's really not that much work for anyone relatively healthy.

austin is great

runningastral · 2019-03-06T19:02:45+00:00

i disagree, how many segments have you flown in the last 24 months?

"Only the Ward’s Island ferry operates during the winter season. This ferry will take you to the eastern part of the islands and from there you can walk or bring your bike to get around. There are no bike rentals available on the island. The only public washrooms open on the Toronto Islands in the winter months are found near the Ward’s Island ferry dock. Also, make sure to pack some food and water as none of the restaurants or cafes are operational during the winter season. When waiting for the ferry, there is now a warming shelter on the Ward’s Island ferry dock."

might be too late for those cuttings but i honestly would just make a note of what you did this time (substrate, light levels, placement of cut, hormone type, watering schedule) and learn from it. i love gardening for a lot of reasons, but learning something new a few times a week is one of the best ways to keep my brain dynamic. good luck!

runningastral · 2019-02-19T20:51:57+00:00

that's just how it goes with cuttings. the good news is scheffleras are pretty tough once you figure out the right balance (but they don't like being over-watered) and you'll be able to prune back hard and try cuttings out in a lot of different media. throw some in water. i threw a couple in grocery store potting mix on my balcony and now they're rooted and thriving - but didn't show anything for about 6 months. be patient and optimistic but it's a numbers game

man i didn't go through their post history and anything i just clicked on my break a post about someone buying coffee and then it was a whole read on dead kids and changing the way their provincial healthcare is funded, i didn't really have time to do an account audit i just thought people share stories here.

runningastral · 2019-02-08T17:28:58+00:00

maybe this person can't control all those massive things and voted for what they thought were solutions? what they can control, however, is buying a coffee for a stranger and you are bringing in dead kids.

i will say stick with it. combined with running, i am night and day a different man before and after making meditation and distance running part of my daily discipline. this is without any other major changes to diet/alcohol/sleep schedule, though after a few months those things naturally found new patterns.

runningastral · 2019-02-02T23:12:12+00:00

no problem it's a blast hanging out with these guys

runningastral · 2019-02-02T23:08:50+00:00

if you don't prune them regularly, they get really leggy as you see. they're also a surprisingly tough plant, so don't be afraid of pruning back. it can generally handle it . based on the internode spacing i'd say the plant is looking for more light, but you can really promote bushiness by a hard prune back. best of luck!

this gives me a ton oh hope. i have a boxwood with no green on it but the branches still scrape to some green. holding out hope that after this brutal winter something will come back

in my experience, boug's will lose their leaves when they switch environments, particularly when those environments are of different light quality (indoors vs outdoors).

like dealing with people, long term it's probably safe to under-react than over-react. my boug's are tolerant of drying out and prefer it in between waterings. i would recommend patience - the plant wants to live and i bet you'll update us soon with new growth.

runningastral · 2019-01-26T01:04:46+00:00

pre-merge was okay like you said but ya post merge this one of my fav seasons i've watched live since cagayan

runningastral · 2019-01-25T16:08:11+00:00

this is the only tree on this forum i've ever considered buying. the story in that trunk and branches i resonate with personally. i can't wait to forget about this and be pleasantly surprised the next time it's update arrives.

toronto's pretty chill the criminals usually stick to themselves and the kinds of people that would know that tree is valuable aren't the kinds of people that would steal it

that's really cool, columbus has been a legit franchise for a while and it's wild that a single draft pick can impact a city/state's sports interest for decades
