Usually about a year but the Red Sheild was 6 months as was the white "Adkins" my sister sent seeds for. She did not know the name but the people that she got it from called it Adkins which was also their name. Do not know it their is any connection or not. My Texas Stars all bloom the first year also. Seeded them in Feb. When was warm enough (we had winter that year) I placed them outside and were blooming by July bloomed until October. Got seeds that year from them. Still waiting for seed pod on the others. Jimmy

Wonderful, Tina! Thanks so much for brightening up a really dreary day here!
I just LOVE how large jade plants get there on the warm coast - and the flowers!!! I have a decent sized one in my familyroom, but don't ever expect it to flower here...

Lynne, Enough light and it should bloom for you. I know they bloom indoors 'cause I had one when I lived in Rochester, NY and it bloomed winter, indoors. ~Tina

Weezie, they're all camellias. I don't know which type. One of the looks like a rose, the other looks like a carnation. The white one is very fragile.

I'm going to break the string here and put in a couple of foliage plants. Partly because I was asked to take pics of my spider plants and partly because these I grow outside year round for color. My hanging plants along my front porch. The other way- Varigated spider plant Closer ~Tina

Below the 'spiders' Cast iron plant Persian Shield and I can never remember the name of these, botanical nor common. But I love the colors all year. a lot of my things get pretty sad looking in winter. Sometimes from neglect. It's a busy time for me. ~Tina

Great pictures you guys!
I'm cheating and posting an old picture I just found....looking at the greenery and flowers really helps me feel better so I thought I'd share it!
Here's my purple AV in full bloom!

I'm slow I know, but the jade on page one wow. I've never seen one that big before. It's like mine and likes to stay low to the ground. I hope I have enough light on it to get it to do that. That would be so cool. I have my first aloe bloom this year and if the jade bloomed too that would be fantastic. You give me hope.

Lynne, I'll post more tomorrow. I said I have thousands. They make a great groundcover. I have them on the hillside behind the house. Those 'babies' fall off of the ones hanging on my porch and start growing. I pull them like other weeds. Sometimes I transplant and sometimes I don't, depending on time. ~Tina

Tina - I can't even imagine them growing on the hillside like weeds! It is so hot and dry here in the summer, that my one hanging pot needs to be watered at least once a day to survive!
Can't wait to see more pictures!

It is hot and VERY dry here in summer and fall. I water almost everyday. But they keep moist better in the ground then in pots. I water something in my yard all the time, 24 hours a day. Even in the rain. My hillside spiders are in full sun all day until the sun dips behind the mountain I live on. Tough plants. ~Tina

Thanks for the pics Tina....I LOVE Cosmos---your pictures make me feel very springy....
Weezie, I believe that was Bachelors Buttons that I grew from seed....that was my garden 2 years ago, and I love having the hyacinth vine covering the chain link fence...it really softens it up!

Laura, YESSSSSSS, I love those Hyacinth Beans too, they remind me of Renee... *I haven't heard from her in a bit... miss her*
And thought so on the Bacholeor Buttons .. but wanted to make sure..
I absolutely love those plants, so fun.. Did you know they come in colors too soft pinks, whites, burgundy's, and one other color too, can't remember..
