I made it home from work tonight at 8p. I had 45 minutes of daylight to pull some plants for saturdays sale.
Now I have to figure out how to get 50+ plumerias to my parents house by Saturday. 😳
Hopefully I can convince the Hubbs to help 😆
I’ve been so busy, and it keeps pouring - I haven’t had many flower posts lately
So here’s one for you.
Sometimes NOIDs get a bad rap.
Don’t get me wrong - rare, named varieties are exciting and fun to collect. But don’t let anyone make you feel bad about your NOID. They ALL started as NOIDs, and they can be just as beautiful!
We call this one “Honeymooner”, we’ve had her for 3 years and this is the first season that she’s bloomed.
3 years ago we were on our honeymoon in Hawaii. We drove past a huge overgrown grove near an abandoned golf course on the Big Island. It had all kinds of fallen branches in the road and grass. We gathered a few fallen branches to take home to our AirBNB. We cleaned them up, removed any soil, trimmed the dead/unhealthy parts, and stuck in zip locks full of perlite.
Customs let us bring them home. And this one survived. My husband has checked on nearly every day for 3 years to make sure it’s healthy, and HOPING it would get an inflo. I was so excited to show him it’s finally producing flowers! And what beautiful flowers they are.
Hopefully she’ll branch out and grow strong. And ima. Few years maybe we can share some baby “Honeymooners” with some of you! 🌸🌼
