I'll tell you the only thing we must be really good at growing here in Colorado is marijuana. Problem for people who love seeing vegitation is that is grown in everyones basement apparently. I grew up in California and definitley miss the green living here! Thanks for the post!

Awesome pics Buzz! Some beauties there :party:

Gotta bunch of peppers growing in my basement, but there is a very limited window to grow stuff outside. In Colorado everything turns brown and dies most of the year outside. Makes me sad! lol

A Passion flower that grew in my yard last year. I collected the seeds from some plants that I found growing on the flood levy near my house. These are a type of wildflower that grows in my area but I only know of one location where it grows. I'm trying to spread it around.

Yeah, that's gotta suck. I don't feel right unless my outdoor space looks alive. At least you still get to have your pepper fix.

Passion flower! I've always wanted one of those! The Winn Dixie grocery store by my house has orchids right now.... I was so tempted to get one, but they were $20 per plant.... had to hold off for now
Maybe this thread belongs in the "Growing Other" forum..... can we get a move, mods?

Nice spot back there Mr. Buzz. I dig the Fan blowing on your chair. LOL

Nice dirt patch you got there H&B. Screw the peppers plants, you know how much Green Fees are at golf courses nowadays? :rofl:

Gomojoe · May 2, 2014

Man loving the green. Its still all brown here except the lawns that have $100-$200 worth of water and fertilizers in the past month or so.

Every landscape should have iris and lilly plants, without exception. Very nice!

I've found them to be easy so far. Even got a few berries near the end of winter while in the greenhouse.

Phil · May 4, 2014

I guess I'll be trying next season

Nice. My wife's loved these so much she's already said we're expanding on strawberry plants when we move lol.
I'm interested too, how big are your plumeria plants? My Grandmother had one at her house that was about 15 foot tall, and it was a beautiful plant, especially when loaded with flowers.

Beautiful flower Ocho! Do these passion flowers produce fruit? They look remarkably similar to the passionfruit vines that were growing wild when my parents moved into their house back in Australia. Great tasting fruit if so.

We have two plumerias right now. The tallest is about 6.5', the other is about 3'. I can usually expect about a foot of growth every year
