Battered Beschy does the business!!

I hope mine flowers as well as yours windy ! What colour did you go for on the deck after ?

 

I'm sure yours will flower much better than mine BM, mine's been thoroughly neglected :rolleyes: :D
I went for the clear sealant on the decking and it's gone a lovely honey colour...now I've got to paint the rest of the wood in the garden as the deckings made it all look shabby!!! :rolleyes: :D

 

I really like the end result, I couldn't tell if you had gone for a colour of not, just natural :D

 

Absolutely beautiful windy! I like how your decking turned out too.

 

How have I missed this, my little friend? I don't know this plant .. will have to investigate, it's beautiful.

The decking does look great, you've done very well.

How are the rootings coming along?

 

The plants looking good windy, and so's the deck.
You've done a good job there.

 

Thanks guys

LoL - one of the Cestrums has rooted and is getting a new leaf If the Beschy produces any seeds (I don't know if it does?) I'll send you some, it should like it in Portugal

Pete - I'm very proud of my decking as I built it all myself and it doesn't bounce!!!! (Unlike me, I might add!!! :D )

 

I've dragged this thread up from the dead because my Beschy's getting 'suckers'/side shoots or something!!!!! There's at least 4 little green shoots poking their noses out from the sides of the main rosette of leaves!
Question is...what do I do now???
Shall I cut off the faded flower stalk so it can put more energy into these babies?? :D

 

There's 6 potential babies!!!! Anyone know what I should do with them???? :rolleyes:

 

I think I would leave well alone possibly for this year, cut the dead flower stalk off by all means, but let the side shoots grow on.
Then I'd split them next spring when thay are a reasonable size.

 

Thanks Pete I knew you'd know what to do!! :D

 

Windy,

I have to say i am impressed, i pay obeisance to your impressive plant, might even get one of my own.

p.s. luv the cat :D

 

Windy what can i say?

Impressive, stupendous, absorbing, enlightening, inspiring and just plain cor!!!! :D

 

That's a great plant, windy, well done. I thought in your last picture it looked as if there was an offshoot coming at the front. I've never heard of it.
I like your decking too!

 

Aw thanks guys
I now have 9 baby Beshys, and they're growing at quite a rate...they're already 4" tall.
