Coprosma kirkii 'Variegata' (Coprosma kirkii)

I found a new Coprosma for my collection! My new greenhouse will be full to bursting in the winter. ;-)

Do you know any of the other Coprosmas?

2 Nov, 2009

 

I've not seen this one before. You'll need to buy yet another greenhouse.

Ah! Everything is in hand - (I hope!) I am still on the track of a replacement 'Karo Red' though....then I saw this. ;-)

2 Nov, 2009

 

No Spritzhenry not a plant I 've ever seen before.

2 Nov, 2009

 

My Karo red has been with me for a few years now. I'll check if it will root if I take cuttings and forward one to you if I am successful.

I had a collection of them last year, Simbad - and lost all except two in the frosts - in spite of fleecing them. I decided to keep the replacements in pots this year - and they're going in the greenhouse, too!

I'll write a blog on them soon - then you will see why I like them so much! :-)

Oh Toto - yes, please - all power to your green thumb! LOL.

Will look forward to that Spritzhenry :-) lovely foliage.

2 Nov, 2009

 

I'll check it out and do my best.

Thanks, both! :-))

pretty. these are sort of new to me. i have seen them in books but not in the flesh so to speak.

Beatsons Gold and Cappuccino look rather interesting as well? and what about Fireburst ? I could go on...........

2 Nov, 2009

 

oh!! I do like that one :))))))

3 Nov, 2009

 

I'm glad you like it, Grindle!

Dd - I have Beatson's Gold and Fireburst amongst others. The only problem with Coprosmas is that they are not reliably hardy - Toto has been lucky in keeping his.

I WILL post a blog on the ones I have at some future point! Maybe I'll have found some more by then, eh? LOL.

Have moved some of the more congested plants to the new bed with the herbs, so it leaves room for all the dahlias I have ordered for next year.....and just taken delivery of two fatshederas one variegated, an Arundo Donax, equisetum jap.......and a Fascicularia Bicolor, a beautiful Lonicera (on My Photos) and a new rose for the arch Madam Alfred Carrier, more plants to come next week!! mostly bulbs, from`Crocus half price,....this really has got to stop, I think I am going to need therapy soon lol (or my husband is!!)

Ooohh!! Sounding great. Lovely stuff! :-))

4 Nov, 2009

 

you've some lovely plants there DD, I had Mdm A C in my last garden, and I loved her :)

5 Nov, 2009

 

Grindle did you put any photos on from your last garden with Madam A C. ?
Spritz we are mad think how wealthy we would be.....still what would we do with all the money then?

5 Nov, 2009

 

LOL. I'd rather have my flowers, wouldn't you? Crazy or not! :-))

5 Nov, 2009

 

no sorry DD our computer crashed and I lost just about all my pictures, just checked the few I have on webshots, and the only one I have a picture of is Madam Hardy.....sorry :(

6 Nov, 2009

 

Oh, Grindle - heartbreaking for you! Technology, eh?

6 Nov, 2009

 

Grindle thanks for looking, sorry to hear about you pc.
Spritz, yes I would rather have my flowers as well.

6 Nov, 2009

 

my own fault Spritz, I should have backed them all up, as my son frequently keeps telling LOL

7 Nov, 2009

 

We bought a little box thingy to back all mine up - but I haven't done it yet - Husband seems to have hi-jacked it! Hmmmm - I must do some nagging after your experience!

7 Nov, 2009

 

I would if I were you, it happens so quickly :(

7 Nov, 2009

 

Eeeeekkk!!!

7 Nov, 2009

 

I have put all mine on my ipod, music and photos.

7 Nov, 2009

 

My trouble is the number of photos I have - we had to buy a box with a hard drive in!

7 Nov, 2009

 

The ipod acts as a hard drive it takes up to 30,000 photos lol

9 Nov, 2009

 

Wow! That's a lot of memory!

9 Nov, 2009

 

It needs to have, my music collection is over 5,000 and growing besides my photos, just keep the good photos now and delete the lousy ones.
