GPE #9 : Mitzi's "Fifty Shades Of Green"*

M I T Z I

 

 Please find attached my garden pics, not many this year as I'm moving and have lost interest with it, you should see the weeds in my border. I even caught the woman next door spraying weed killer in my nooks and crevices see pic.

 

I've been pulling the above plant up in their droves for years, however it's the first time I've let it flower and I quite like it, my plant identification app told me its a Japanese anemone, but I beg to differ so this one is for Jon or you to identify.

 [Well, I do agree with your plant ID app.  I think it's a Japanese anemone, too.  Jon? - IDV]

 

 

Lemon plants, grown from seed.

 

 

Mature Stephanotis grow pods similar to courgettes, the pods open and the seeds similar to dandelions billow out of them, I brought a few of the seeds home, a souvenir from Tenerife.

 

 

Panache fig.

I grew a mango plant from seed, doesn't it look horrible? After scraping the flesh off the stone, I used scissors to get the seed out. I used the paper towel and freezer bag method, to speed up germination, it only took a few days. I don't think I'll be keeping it though, because the mango was brought from Aldi and it's lousy with the gnat!

 

 

Waitrose finest Medjool dates, palms grown from their seed.

[From Waitrose, you say?  I bet you'll be keeping these! - IDV]

  Mitzi, once again you astound with your propagation skills!  I'm already imagining your new garden being filled with home-grown exotica.  Thank you for taking part.
