fantaziya: lol I think we should start a Gardening thread !

If you will send me pictures of your rose ( overall shrub shape, stem with thorns and leaves ( important! )and of course flowers with the anther and filament. I'll give it a try. Who knows.
Every spring I go on an adventure around Nova Scotia looking for old lilacs planted by French and British immigrants. Take cuttings and grow. Lilacs are my specialization. I collect them. But only hybrid cultivars. Found two which practically disappeared only left in a few Botanical Gardens.
As for your apple tree, unfortunately apple trees( cultivars) cannot be propagated by seeds. You will get a wild apple .
I know lol.....although I imagine it'd be just you and me on it Fantaziya...

I never really took photos of my plants or garden (regret that now) but I think I might have one somewhere but God knows where so it might take me a while to find it..

That sounds like great fun, a nice hike (must be stunning scenery there) and coming home with a lovely bounty as well, sure you couldn't buy that kind of pleasure.

Yeh, that's what my son told me about the apple tree. When he was 12 years of age. He was the real gardener in our house and was famous around the area for his ability and knowledge, I'm just an amateur in comparison...Anyway, the tree is flourishing but we left the apple trees for the birds as we had a huge cherry tree and a gazillion berries shrubs to eat from so the apples, nice as they were, were ignored lol....

secretagent09: I had intended to ask FadedBlueJeans a question since he seems to be an expert with motorcycles but I haven't seen him in awhile. Not knowing if he is coming back to CS I will add my specialized question to your game:

Is an adult tiger fast enough to outrun a motorcycle....would the tiger catch up and have lunch?
Would the motorcycle driver be faster than the tiger and leave the beautiful animal in his dust?
Hi Secret . What is faster.. A Tiger or a Motorcycle? Off the line a tiger could hit top speed pretty quick .
I did get a mysterious scratch on my rear fender but I don't think it was from a Tiger. So I don't know.laugh

blathin: No, I've no idea Fantaziya, It's a climber with clusters of deep red almost purple flowers and it only flowers once in summer. I've asked loads of very experienced gardeners if they recognise it but nope,not one....so I gave lots of cuttings to neighbours and various gardens and community gardens so it didn't die and dissapear..

I found a really old apple tree in full fruit at a differnt famine cottage once when out on a hike years ago. The tree looked its age it was so gnarly but they have to be the nicest apples I've ever tasted... My eldest son was only a child then but has amazing green fingers. He planted it and now it's thriving ..sadly I had to leave it behind when moving but saved some seeds..so fingers crossed I can find somewhere to plant them..
Take your time! I checked yesterday on Scots roses and roses in general in Scotland and I have to tell you, you people have a very rich roses history. There is one man, his name is Peter D.A. Boyd who actually collecting and saving heritage roses of Scotland. So now I am curious. You could ask him about your rose.
I envy you ( in a good way) you have a son like this. Well done mom on raising a child like him! Or passing love to gardening genes. thumbs up bouquet tip hat

Sorry You! No more about gardening in your thread foot in mouth

Oh I'm not sure about that Blathin wave

I suspect there's more than a few people on here that would enjoy participating in a garden thread conversing

I don't mind a potter myself lol and my son took up growing veg in pots a couple of years back with great results grin

We could all have a chat about our shared topic of interest, made even more interesting given we live in such varied climates thumbs up

And those who can could share pics (I only use my phone which I have found this site doesn't support in terms of photos, videos).
