Rose Cuttings

I have 3 mini roses acquired from Jose over in Tenerife . At the weekend I decided to take a few cutting to increase my stock. I took a cutting about a week ago and popped it into the humidity layer I put some of my accents on and this was the result. I guest it worked.

I took cuttings from all three roses and potted them into a mix of fine cat litter and fine pumice. Well see how it goes. The parent rose in this kusamono planting is very vigorous as you can see from the roots.

Even got some super mini Rose cuttings 🙂

The Two Sisyrinchium I missed!

I posted the flower shots from the Sisyrinchium varieties I have a few days ago. I missed out the yellow one and I have since found that I have a light blue one as well! No idea where I got it from, I thought it was a ‘Californicum’ up until the flower opened! I have swapped that many plants this last year I have lost track lol.

Common Spotted Orchid – Dactylorhiza fuchsii

I have a few of these that had self seeded into pots. I wasn’t sure what variety of orchid they were until they flowered. Not thanks to the power of social media I have them identified as Common Spotted Orchid – Dactylorhiza fuchsii. My next challenge is to get them into a kusamono planting next year.
