A large graft

Subject: A large graft Sun Jan 04, 2009 12:43 pm

Just thought I would share my oldest graft (second graft I ever did, the first failed), it is a bit distorted, well alot! This one I am very sentimental about, It is also my first loph flower ever. Another bud forming.

I was inspired by gillgan's thread.

It's about 6 years old and the stock is T. pachanoi, it would have been larger by now but I actually had it growing in almost full shade up until the beginning of this season. It has rewarded me by fattening up alot at the apex and has flowered. It has two pups, and it was smaller than the pup you can see in the pic when grafted. About 3cm. It has more pups but I removed them for cuttings and it was looking a bit crook so I removed them to give it less stress. It hasn't looked back since then.

Grin.. I was gonna say the same thing about both Lachy...

My obregonias are about 6 months old, long way off yet...

Hopefully the loph speeds up for the next 6 years!
