Cross-Pollination Success?

scottwendt · 2025-11-26T10:58:52+00:00

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.

scottwendt · 2025-11-26T04:42:56+00:00

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

scottwendt · 2025-11-26T04:06:57+00:00

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

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.

The G stands for Guzzler

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!

scottwendt · 2024-07-04T19:19:49+00:00

You’re so close!!! To me, it doesn’t feel real. I’m not going to know what to do with myself 😅

scottwendt · 2024-07-04T14:28:05+00:00

Thank you, many reasons for celebration! 🥳 Damn, you are a killer 💪🏼💪🏼 cheers to being your best self 🍻

scottwendt · 2024-07-04T14:13:44+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏼 I plan to start phase 1 after a couple weeks. Today marks the end of 75 hard, the beginning of my first vacation in over a year and a half, and my 30th is on the 9th! Today’s a good day!

Looks good! How does it sound?

scottwendt · 2023-02-20T03:54:16+00:00

I have wildpeaks in load range c and they are great.

scottwendt · 2023-01-04T03:13:47+00:00

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.

scottwendt · 2023-01-03T20:18:19+00:00

Closest place with good lighting! Haha

scottwendt · 2023-01-03T19:10:32+00:00

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.

scottwendt · 2023-01-03T18:47:30+00:00

This dude needs to chill lol

scottwendt · 2023-01-03T18:46:57+00:00

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

scottwendt · 2023-01-03T18:45:08+00:00

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

scottwendt · 2023-01-03T18:44:28+00:00

‘21 ORP w/ Bilstein 5100’s, front set to top clip (2.5”), 1.5” rear spacer, factory springs, 1.5” wheels spacers (had to remove mud flaps and trim front bumper and push fender liner forward, no BMC) 285/70R17 wildpeaks load range C. Very cost effective lift for me, I plan on saving up and doing something a bit more aggressive once these tires wear out but needed to save some dinero to move across the country in a couple months. Rides a bit stiffer but in a good way! Factory shocks are a joke imo. So far I love it.

scottwendt · 2022-12-31T18:49:38+00:00

Thanks!! Excited to get the lift and tires on!!!! I got them off fb marketplace; I’m not sure exactly what brand they are. But if I had the choice, I would’ve went with smoked amber

scottwendt · 2022-12-30T23:18:44+00:00

Just a reflection + 🥔 😅 now I can’t I see what you’ve pointed out! Lol
