The Garden III

The First Three Photos are of volunteer(seeds from last years flowers that recently sprouted and flowered ) from last year's Wild Petunias, now these beauties can give any F-1 Hybrid a run for the money any day and can spread out and cover quite an area,

The Last Photo is of my Purple and White Double Datura Seed pod

Cactus Update I

Here are some photos of some of my seedlings that were transplanted about 2 months ago as well as new growth from this year in a cutting I planted last year although it is hard to see in photo this new growth is about 3 inches long and about 4 inches in diameter , note all this grew in in a little over a month time frame. I shall soon post a photo of my successful grafting of a much slower cactus species to the rootstock of a faster growing species, when I first did the graft the top part was smaller than a US dime and now it is larger than a US quarter, in other words about 2 years growth in two months! I shall soon try the same technique this weekend with the Organ Pipe Cactus (also a slow growing species) and see if I am successful. note...plastic ziplock bags contain new seedlings that are sprouting.
