Cercis canadensis 'Hearts of Gold'

Lovely picture!

@tdominguez52263@gmail.com I thought I might use it as my Zoom background :)

Leaf cutter bees love my cercis

Bedraggled specimen for #foliagefriday

#featured-ozadmin

The papaya seedlings aren't showing yet (and I'm not confident the seed was viable). I needed to prune a bit off my cercis so thought why not shove it in there and see what happens?

She might be the last honey bee in my garden for quite some time :(

Beautiful. So sad for our poor old bees.

It's not all bad, our native bees are not effected by this outbreak, only the invasive European bees.

@Jod_Jod_1207 so long as they don't get baited. I'm a bit paranoid about my TC hive. I asked DPI but they wouldn't /couldn't tell me if they were going to out any baits within the flying radius of my girls.

Bit worrying you don’t know where the baits might be.

Love the light through these leaves

Love the foliage

This is the pot I put the cercis seeds in, and that is a seedling... Have I managed to do the (relatively) impossible? They've been in there for 7 months and I had nearly given up hope.

@grantham @KariSamuel

I think you did well! Most are propagated by green wood starts! Fingers crossed for you! Looks like you have true leaves in the center!

@grantham just planted them now. Cross Ur fingers for me!!! :)

@KathyB I have stuck my toes crossed over...please keep me inform...my hubby replanted 70 muringa tree seeds that I had for 4 years and they took

@grantham go hubby!!!!

@KathyB he has learnt to love gardening ....he had to swing my way lolol...he was used to farming maize..., cattle...etc...

Nearly ready!

I tie organza bags over pods before they open. Wouldn't want to lose any precious seeds

OMG a seed pod!

Let me know if you have any luck with the seeds! I have tried starting them with seeds, bare root saplings and with soft wood cuttings - without success.
