Frangipani Grove

I don't keep up with all posts but somewhere last night I saw a question from when I was away asking about my Frangipani cuttings...perhaps from Otamot????

I have some up the back growing in pots, happy to give some away but too big to post; would need to collect.

Here is new Frangipani Grove down the front...needs a weed and mulch...but all in good time...



There are some further down in front of plumbago...4 I think.

Yep Daniel all in good time... Its finding it that is the trouble..

Hey great to see you posting some pics at last

I can just imagine that in a couple of years...

It is gunna smell So good in a few years, wish I lived closer Daniel I would be over is a shot

DAN they will be so beautiful an a couple of years.41 Frangi's WOW are they all different.

That will make a stunning photo in a few years.

Sorry Gwen - that should read there are 4, I think, down the front. Having aid that, around the whole yard there probably would be a good 20 or so, plus the ones growing up back to give away. I will take a pic of the later on in the growing in an old horse float.

Many are a simple white with yellow centre, or a variation on fruit salad/tri colour (sorry, I can never tell the difference I am afraid, I love all of them), a red, some pinks, an orange. Hoping to get some colour next year. Should look ok by then.

Where did you get the orange one from Daniel.. Those two beautiful orange ones a couple of street away are still there, maybe one day I will go and ask for a branch as both shrubs are very bushy..

I am getting so excited my JL Pink Pansy *White with pink edge* that I planted in 2006 has finally got its first bud, problem now is its getting cold and will it open in time for me to see it as its planted on the south east side of the block where the frosts hit, I may take two cutting off it and see how they go, its a very big long leafed plant nothing like the others I have, the branches and trunk are also thicker than the normal Frangipani also..

Hi I promised to take a photo of Frangipani plants growing up the back....



Mary-Anne, that orange one is the cutting I got from Enoggera about a year or so ago.

Lots there you lucky Buggar

I am happy to share but as you can see they really need to be picked up by vehicle. They are all over 12 months old.

I know Dan, but I have a few cuttings on the go and MA has started a few for me as well

I don't remember that Daniel..
But I will remember you have got a Orange one now though..

I understand - as soon as it is big enough.....

I must pot a couple of mine up for you..

Do you have Darwin Yellow yet



Or this Darwin Petite Pink the dwarf one in the pot at the bottom of the back steps.



These two are big enough to take a cutting off.. Do let me know..

ahhhhhhhhh drool time again

I had to move those cuttings of yours with all the rain we were having, I hope they are ok..

Thanks Mary-Anne, no I do not have them....yet.

Ok I will do those two for you.

Thanks Mary-Anne.

Do you remember the pink one I bought from "Jim" at Beenleigh markets when you and Tony were there? Here it is...

That pink is a lovely delicate one,it will look great when the tree is big.

Yes I do ...It looks real good Daniel..
A much lighter shade than my pink one there are so many different ones out there...

The garden club stands were probably the highlight of the expo for me. The Frangipani board display was very good. I noticed the people manning the stand had shirts bearing the name "The Frangipani Gardens".

Other than these stands the "expo" was a bit too gimmicky for me. More a sales expo than anything else...but that is just my opinion. Kerrie bought a hat; I bought a gardening magazine.

Exactly what I thought about that one five years ago Daniel selling garden statues, water features, and the likes, you should not have to pay to see those type of things, just go to any Bunnings seems its just the same..

Frangipani Gardens if just over a couple of suburbs towards your way in Forest Lake I visit their online site often http://www.thefrangipanigardens.com.au/products_tfg_page.html

As long as Kerrie and You had a great afternoon that's the main thing..

That's a pretty frangi Daniel.

The main idea behind those expos is to give people an idea of what's out there... it is just advertising for businesses and makes it easier for the public when it's all in one place. The main reason I go to them is to get ideas... usually too dear to buy from.
