Amazing Daturas!!

[karma]

One of those lovely ladies of the night and one can't get enough of the fragrances of these.

[Waterbuffalo]

wow.

Nice flowers..

[karma]

Got my toes crossed for seedpods. On the last one we have already dumped a pickle bucket of seedpods as we know we have plenty of seeds of those already!

[Waterbuffalo]

Going to start a seed selling service with the pictures you took of the parent plants?

[karma]

WB, you wouldn't believe the requests I get and those folks that have their hands open. Ya see they feel the www if a free service and so all they see should be free. Guess who culls stuff instead of sending them anywhere??

[Waterbuffalo]

Well start a for-profit business selling the seeds of your plants? Nothing is free.

Learned that one a long time ago.

As to webshot photos, understand the mentality that people should be paid for their work.

Might have to start a thread on one of the forums to start a discussion of this in another forum here to see what people think. Might say I do have opinions one way and the other one the subject.

[karma]

I do offer some on my website but what I grow is well a lot of work and folks just want the pretties and not the work. I do when I have lots of stuff have a plant sale or allow newbies to the garden world the chance to dig for a fee.

[Waterbuffalo]

Now I do have to ask... Website address?

[karma]

You mean you can't pull it off the karma's icon photo?? So you want the Brugmansia business one or the webshot one?

[Waterbuffalo]

There is no link in your profile (it gives me an error..) and clicking on your picture on the side of this thread brings nothing up.

[karma]

Check you IM, as I sent to you privately.

[Waterbuffalo]

Will do.

[karma]

Let me know if you are up to a private tour?

[Waterbuffalo]

Will do in a couple months. Right now I just had a tendon surgery that that limits my walking abilities. Maybe next spring I'll come over and take a look. We are coming up on fall and by the time my foot is healed, it will be winter.

Though Thank you for such a kind offer of the invitation.

[karma]

May is a good time and that way you tendon should have time to heal. Right now we are cutting back and getting the yard ready for winter as the fall crocus is our sign to do so. S. Dakota had frost already so we have lots to do.

[Waterbuffalo]

I have started to see signs of summer finally coming to a close and the "Gloomies" are starting to come back. (aka year round rain and cold.)

Had to laugh under my breath today because in the doctor office was the first time I heard someone past this summer complain about our "Wonderful" fall weather.. Did talk to the person and they just moved here from Arizona.. Wonder how long they will stay?

[karma]

But the Daturas love to bloom now!!

[Waterbuffalo]

Nice Flowers Karma..

[karma]

We had seeds in White and Purple but this one did outstanding this year!

[Waterbuffalo]

Are you going to collect seeds from it? or is it a hybrid you can't get seeds from?

[karma]

This yellow is just now opening and I'm afraid there won't be enough time to get seeds but we are going to allow it to do it's own thing.
If not I know where I can get more and will have the double purple plus other dat seeds. Another plant opened last night.

[Waterbuffalo]

Hopefully you will find some decent seeds in your fall collection of flowers.

Plus you have your own network of people that you trade knowledge, seeds and advice with, so you'll have enough to keep you busy..

Better watch out because I saw 30 various viewers this afternoon on clarkblog.org, plus tefen was on also..
