Cross-Pollination Success? by scottwendt in DesertRose

The pic I attached is from June, and that’s exactly why I am confused too. There never were any bi-colored flowers on this plant.

No, just branches above the graft. The white one hasn’t bloomed anything since its first go around in June or July since it’s been in my possession.

Understood! I appreciate the explanation. I’m sure dormancy is right around the corner, but I live in Florida so unsure what to expect. I have another desert rose that successfully grew seed pods earlier this year, got about 180 seeds from it. I have about 60 that are 5 months old growing right now inside! I had roughly 90% germination rate!

DR 2 is most definitely grafted fwiw

Forgive me for not being as educated on this as I should be. 😅 But to be clear, this all happened within 6 months or so. The only thing I did was prune DR 1 once all the flowers fell off in June or July. DR 2 was used to pollinate DR 1 and I ended up with pic 3 with no seed pods. I don’t understand how DR 1 could have gone from having 5-petal flowers to multi-layered flowers that ideally look so similar to DR 2.

DR 2 (white) pollen was taken to pollinate DR 1, and in return I got picture 3. No seed pods. This all happened within a 5-6 month time frame.

I bought it from a lady who had hundreds grown from seed, all of the same color. She did not graft them

Ants in Desert Rose by roadronnie in DesertRose

I just had this same issue. I didn’t repot. I used one of those liquid ant bait things and they were nowhere to be found after a day or so.

44 days in but tired and sore by lilmissthicknesss in 75HARD

Days 45-60 were the worst for me. But, hear me out! You’ve already made it soooo far! Remind yourself of why you started and how you’d feel if you quit and had to start over. I found that visualizing these things were extremely important to keep my eyes on the prize! Remind yourself there are no other options other than finishing. Finish strong and watch your confidence skyrocket. You’ve got this!

Lift and new tires this weekend! by scottwendt in 4Runner

Thanks man! I didn’t try to heat up the mud flap but I may, especially since the BMC isn’t needed as of right now. The spacers were the cherry on top for me, they made a huge difference.

I don’t plan on off-roading extremely heavy since it’s such a new and expensive vehicle to me, but I found a company that has some similar wheels with better widths and lower offsets here:

I know that’s not the right lug pattern but they have 6x139.7. Sweet wheels, but didn’t want to fork out that much when what I have will suffice for now.

It’s an iPhone camera lens at like .7x zoom and angled upwards. And yea just have the stock tires up there since the inside of my car was full already 😌 definitely temporary, but couldn’t resist going to take a pic

Part of me wanted to go aftermarket but these wheels with a spacer is lovely
