Two Questions?
1) What are those tall (human height) cane like plants
with the delicious smelling white flowers right to the left as you drive into Zilker Garden's making a right after the gate? 2) One of my roses is looking badly chlorotic (yellow leaves with dark veins). What natural potion could I use to get it a dark green again? TIA! Gae |

Don't know. 2) One of my roses is looking badly chlorotic (yellow leaves with dark veins). What natural potion could I use to get it a dark green again? TIA! Gae Horticultural molasses, sold in gallon bottles at Lowes for about 8 dollars. Very high in iron. Also, I fertilize my one rose using Ladybug Brand 8-2-4. That's in addition to the heavy use of compost as a top dress, and I also dig some around into the soil at the root zone a few times a year. Roses do not have great root systems. They do benefit from the use of mycorrhizae, which they sell at many good garden centers. Victoria |

Whip up a batch of liquid seaweed and use it on both the foliage and the soil. Wouldn't hurt to add some fish emulsion too (stinky, but good). -- Victor Martinez Send your spam he Email me he |

Two Questions?
Thanks to both you and Animaux for the tips on the rose problem!
Could those tall corn looking plants at Zilker possibly some kind of Ginger lily. They smell just like Hawaiian Ginger perfume I once bought out in California -- richly sweet and powerful, but not as pungent and off-putting as night blooming jasmine. I know it is not a jasmine. I think the plants are some form of ginger. Best -- Gae Victor Martinez wrote: G a e X a v i e r wrote: 2) One of my roses is looking badly chlorotic (yellow leaves with dark veins).

Two Questions?
Could they be plumeria? Can you describe the flowers and foliage in better
detail? It's hard to do, but maybe it is something more generic than we all think.

No. I know plumeria and it is not. Also plumeria is more subtle. These flowers
were perfuming the parking lot. Maybe I will drive by and shoot a dig. pic. The look like corn stalks (a single cane with leaf blades off the canes) and then a spray of silver dollar sized white lily-like pungently sweet flowers at the top. I really suspect a type of ginger lily because the leaves look like my root ginger and my cardamon, but these are tall and delicious smelling. Gae animaux wrote: Could they be plumeria?

Hmmm, we have to go downtown tomorrow. Maybe I'll drop by and take a look. Is
it at the front entrance, across from Barton Springs Pool? v On Fri, 07 Nov 2003 09:08:50 -0600, G a e X a v i e r opined: No. I know plumeria and it is not. Also plumeria is more subtle.

It is the driveway to Zilker Gardens center, turning right into the driveway past
the gate. It is the tall plants in the center island on the left before you get to the pond in front of the building. animaux wrote: Hmmm, we have to go downtown tomorrow.
