NOOOOOOOOO the last fernkata wrote:I am not really into Ferns Wugga,
I bought one last summer but it will be my last. I have one odd Fern popped up in stones at the back of the garden, probably a wild one.
I like my Trachis and nanas more.
Re: Fern Robs Blog
Yes, one will be enough Rob,
I only have a small garden and no front garden just a narrow lawn. I want color with flowers. I was never really a 'all green garden person'.
I have in my small garden Three Trachis, two are babies. Two Basjoos, two standard rose trees.
Tell you what I have on the go, if it does'nt work then I will buy one. I am trying to germinate a Sikimensis, three seeds in a pot.

Re: Fern Robs Blog
That lot is going to keep you busy!
Just think - if you get a good germination rate you'll be able to start your own business!
Can I put my name down for some of your sporlings if you are successful?

Re: Fern Robs Blog
I don't think I will end up running my own business just yet, I know how hard it is to get hold of these ferns so if they are successful I'm happy sell them on. what was you interested in, i know robusta as i have wanted that one in my collection for quite some time ?wugga wrote:That lot is going to keep you busy!

Re: Fern Robs Blog
Been buying today,
purchased a large pot for my C medullaris as it needs potting up better than it is but I didn't want to disturb it whilst it rooted, I will get some compost tomorrow pot it up and add a pic. I have purchased a Clianthus puniceus a red flowering one and a Grevillea victoria from CGF. I am also trying to get the Clianthus puniceus Albus which flowers in white.
