Good shots dpc! If you have a taste for the plants on your last series you have to come to Hawaii. Especially with the hibiscus we have countless varieties. No thistles, but I'm OK with that

I pull them surreptitiously.

ISv,
No, no war. All's quite on the side of the road ;D.
There is a rooting compound you can get to encourage plant rooting, I think you know about that. You may even get the reagent grade of the active ingredient at a substantial lower cost and mix down to the correct strength.
Wow, you got gardenia going and blooming! That's great. It's not an easy one to grow, for us anyways. Tried for several years and never got beyond part of the summer :'( .
We have chinese jasmines growing for several years, and have a couple of Indian jasmines which are more fragrant. They need lots of fertilizers to grow and bloom well.
You'll like the the fragrance though the flowers are not too pretty.
Enjoy.

Not a beautiful flower, but I like the picture for some reason. I was trying out my new 16–35mm lens around the house.
After I saw the thistle posted here, I decided to share this shot.

Want to test the waters with the new forum web design.
So, my usual size of 2047 px is rejected for being too large!
And there is a choice of "thumbnail" or "full image," now why would I want to post a photo as a thumbnail? Might as well not take the trouble. I hope the designers of this site would allow for larger image and eliminate thumbnails altogether.
The option to allow for text to be placed below the image is welcome.
