Boy I really loving all this ti talk! Carol, your New Guinea Black is gorgeous. They don't do very well here in the lowlands, seem happier with a bit of altitude. We call that sport of Miss Andrea Pink Champion and CTC Pink. I just picked up a CTC Chocolate (another Miss Andrea sport) but so far it's not too interesting. There's also another sport of her called Rainbow Red.
RJ , thanks for the compliment. Our garden didn't used to be so Lairy. But after a bad catagory 5 we decided to brighten things up.
Earlier in the thread you guys talked about green Ti keeping evil spirits away. Is there any spiritual significance to the Cemetery Red? I know frangipani is planted in Hawaiian cemeteries as well and supposedly represents rebirth.
This one is probably familiar to you guys, it's Peter Buck. Photos don't do it justice as it gets an almost metallic sheen to it in the sun. One of my absolute favorites!
