Seems to me like we all love our plants  Show your garden. Share your passion.Pics or it didn't happen. What are you working on? How long have you had that bonsai? Coleus, Sunflowers, Bhut jolokia. Show them off.

I'll start with an eggplant that I am braiding. Should be fun to see if it grafts together naturally.

I'm also into Sedums, These pics are all cold hardy varieties. I just bought some cool Mexican ones for indoor planters.

Cool thread man! I like sedums too. Sadly, all mine died due to fungus gnats throughout the winter!

"Orange hat" micro dwarf tomatoes. Suitable for <1 gallon pots!

Fasciated Pereskiopsis. I was clipping pereskiopsis cuttings last year and I must have cut an areole just right and the new growth crested. Its now been a bit of a pet project and seeing how aesthetically pleasing I can get the growth. The regular fanned growth curls around to the inside due to one side growing faster than the other. I'm trying to cut it so I can get the growth to fan out, rather than in, its all a matter of getting just the right piece to grow. Even this one fans in just a little bit, but is still going in the direction I want it to.
Once I propagate it enough, I'll release it to the world ^_^!

It's dark here so I can't take any decent pics. I like growing things that are generally expensive and/or hard to find. Limes, mangoes, avocados, chillies, tumeric, pandan, galangal, ginger, cardamon, bay leaf, dragonfruit, jackfruit, lychees and various other things I can't remember at the moment.

Dancingwolf is that Solanum PimpinellIfolium/ "Current tomato" I just tried to google it. Its not listed anywhere but the pictures look like Solanum lycopersicum. Is that a white flower?

Well, here is a small portion of some of what I got going on 
Cilantro

I found this Cycad growing wild, as a baby, and I dug it up, to save it from flooding six years ago.

I grew this Key Lime tree from seed six years ago,and it finally bloomed and put out a few fruits last season.

A leek

Rhubarb

More!
seed grown Pomegranates

A Black Cherry tomato plant, that I grew indoors over the winter, from a cutting, before the main pant died back for the winter. I use it as a mother plant. I've got numerous plants already rooted and of nice size from it. It also made a few Tomatoes indoors over the winter.

Bolivian Rainbow Pepper

Snow Peas

A Potato plant

Thanks! Yeah, I got these from Horizon Herbs .. oh probably ten years ago now. This is the pink tuber variety. They are currently under LED which actually increases the purple color.. it's not just a trick of the lights. The tops of the leaves will turn green once the are outside. I'm thinking about keeping one indoors this year

I didn't realize until recently there is so many kinds of Oxalis. About a month ago I ordered 25 Oxalis Carnosa seeds from Etsy. Only two were viable. I'll snap a pic a little later. They're just on their first set of leaf. I also bought some Oxalis corniculata seeds and they just got here from China threw JFK great.

That key lime is beefy for 6 years. What size pot is it in? I have a pair of calamondins that use to be triplets from one seed. They've got to be gotta be 6-7 years old this summer. I should really re-pot them. Seems like a good activity for tomorrow.

Been curious about oca... Is it worth growing? Easy? My climate is Midwestern north american. Just started leeks and "Clancy" TPS potatoes (along with TPS potato seeds I saved from last year).

Heck, you should have seen it before I last cut it back at the end of the summer! With the pot, it was about 8 foot tall or so. It wouldn't fit in shed because it was so tall. I take it out of the pot at the end of every season, and hack off about a foot of bottom roots, and then I return it to the same pot with fresh soil. Not sure on the pot size, but I'd say it's 30 gallon, maybe?
Calamondins eh? I'd love to see them after you re-pot them

They look like this when matured. They are simply Orange Hat micro tomatoes. The flowers are yellow.

It was a generous blessing / chance happening when I was cutting tips last year. I currently have three fasciated cuttings from it and I nip and cut them in an attempt to train the growth just right on each one. The nips, 1-2 dime size pieces, are rooting in pots. One side is faster than the other so its a real pain. That offshoot is a piece that split off on its own and seems to be growing perfectly, I leave it on the mother plant for now, which has a dormant growth fan on it in several places. I want to observe the natural growth longer before I cut it off and root it as its own plant.
If I understand how its growing, the crest can NEVER be cut off to propagate, rather it either has to split naturally or be split with a razor blade. To cut off the fascination would likely cause the plant to revert back to regular growth and only the fasciated tip would remain as such. I haven't tried the razor blade yet, its only theoretical. Its probably going to be another year before I prop it enough to make cuttings available, its an ultra high priority to keep propagating it at every suitable oppertunity and eventually have it spread throughout the world. Its a regular Pereskiopsis Spathulata but I'll probably call the growth "Dancingwolf", for obvious reasons :P, that and it curls around on its-self, growing into its-self, unless helped a bit, kinda dances.
It took me about two years to get several hundred pereskiopsis plants and that's only propagating them here and there when grafting or growing tips. I check up on it nearly every day since its a horticultural treasure and I've only seen one other plant that may have been a fan-crested pereskiopsis on a popular online flea market.
All the guidance I can give to replicating this, is that the growth came from a branch node that I either cut off of or cut through. It also appears to be two pereskiopsis stems that grew together. I may have cut the top out, causing it to branch several times from the same spot, then cut it the top out again at the same point.
I'm entertaining experimenting with cutting several growth tip centers precisely and trying to micro-graft them together, in an attempt to make a rankensteined fasciation with the growth points fusing together.

The surviving images of the growth when I first noticed it back in August 2019. Almost everyone that sees this fasciation wants a clone of it and I'm working as fast as I can to get it out there.
