Patrick's redbud in full bloom..

Love the redbud I bought one 2yrs ago and still only get leaves.

Wondering how long it takes for it to preduce blooms?

I love these trees . sadly mine looks dead. I've had it about 10 yrs but stem is brown underneath the bark.

I have tiny red leaves showing now healthy but no blossom.

Its a beautiful tree.

You can join your friend by simply filling in the form on his behalf, in the same way you joined yourself. You might get him to choose an avatar, or you could choose one for him.

thanks, Steragram..the problem i have in filling the form for Patrick, my son, is that when i try to start, it tells me i have already joined, under the name odaatpat..should i just ignore that, and go ahead with Patrick's info? i don't want to risk losing my own membership...

thanks, Scotcat, Seaburngirl, i responded to your comments earlier, but forgot to hit the "add comment " button! (sigh)..maybe there's hope for future blossoms for Scotkat and me, but Seaburngirl, it sounds like there's nothing for you but to replace the one youv'e got..are these trees hard to grow?

Try joining again as Patrick without logging in first - that way Goy won't know who you are.

hi Steragram...i tried your suggestion, but no matter how i try to sneak up on Goy, it sees me, and says (quite cheerily) Hi Odaatpat...rats! caught out again! ...doesn't seem to matter if i log in or not ...

Do you check out first before you set up a new account?

if you are using the same email address that will be why [I think] pm moongrower or bulbaholic and see if they have separate email addresses or a common one.

thanks, Resi..i tried your suggestion, and it worked! thanks so much..Patrick (user name Patrickjohn2) now has his own membership, and will be able to browse and post to his heart's content whenever he comes over..almost every week..if his memory fails, which it likely will, i'll be able to get him back on track..i'm so very happy to be able to help him share his garden with Goy friends..

thanks, Seaburngirl..that was certainly one of the problems..it's all been sorted out now..see my response to Resi..Steragram..my main difficulty was being afraid to log out, for fear i wouldn't remember how to get back in..i had difficulty when i first tried to join, although now i don't know why, it seems very simple..anyway, thanks for your help, and especially your patience..all of you..Goys are the best!
