Pond Chat / My Joey Tomoick has done it again!

« on: May 07, 2011, 11:16:02 AM »

I've had this plant for years and it did this once before.  Notice the bud on it.

It's killing me not to re-pot it but I don't have the space to grow it out.

First see if you can bring it up in safe mode.

Sometimes bad ram will cause this.  If you have 2 memory chips, take 1 out and try.  If you still have this problem, take out the other one.  Even better, if you have extra chips, try those.

Pond Chat / Mayla or not?

« on: August 22, 2010, 10:57:29 AM »

I have a water lily that is tagged Mayla.  It has been neglected in a shady pond for several years and has not bloomed.  This year I repotted and put in a pond that gets full sun.  It has grown by leaps but still has not bloomed. 

I took it out of the pond to prepare for shipping and am now wondering if it is a Mayla.  Does Mayla have speckles underneath the leaves?

I really don't know why I am having doubts.  I usually don't mess up the tags.

Just wondering because I am sending these out as Mayla but don't want it to be a mistake.

Any thoughts?

Panama Pacific was my first ever tropical lily and will be forever in my heart.  Lost it last winter.  Hope to get another one next year!

Hope you have a great visit.

WOW!  That is impressive!  What a beautiful lily.  I agree with Frank, you ought to use your name when naming that great lily!   

When you're sending out lilies, I'm available!

Aquatic and Terrestrial Plant Exchange / Anyone want Mayla?

« on: August 08, 2010, 11:02:17 AM »

I have an xlarge Mayla lily that could probably be divided 3 times.

I need to get it out of my pond to make room for my tropicals.

I'll happily send it for postage.

Any takers?  I'd hate to toss it in the compost.
