True, this technology has evolved very rapidly in the last couple of years. And so has become very accurate. Initially it was hit or miss, but now there are many apps which really do work excellent. Some can even identify plant health problems, and pests attacking it also. As well as suggest remedies - At the very least it makes us very well informed quickly.

 

It's interesting seeing what grows so far from here, in an entirely different climate. It's like a different world.

 

Yes, it's a beautiful plant which does very well in my hot and salty environment. Which is actually very rare, as my climate is extreme for most plants...

I like this tree because of it's neon green color of big leaves. So in any place it adds a beautiful hue of another shade of lemon-green.

 

S-H Green is my fav color and there are way more green colors than I can count. While out in the mountains thru Oregon, Washington , Idaho, Wyoming, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada and Northern California on horseback the grouping of greens in the forests can be overwhelming.

A very thought provoking experience about the color green. I love the colour green, but I can also smell a huge variety of greens from the obvious fresh cut grass signifying summer, elderflower heads, rain on soil , riding thru the forests close to nature in a wide spectrum of light enhancing the greens on the ground, at waist height and above thruout the tallest of trees. There is such a variety of sensory signals from nature that bring the colors even closer.

I’ve have seen some inspirational spaces taken from nature to create safe environments and make us feel safe using a variety of green paint colors . For example the many greens in spaces used in homes and buildings mimic nature. In winters surrounding my home by natures greens there are hundreds of different colors of green that I almost feel inspired to sample every plant leaf in a color album. But then again my aspirations are more than my actual energy abides.

 

Since I've found out what this plant is, I've decided to propagate it. So pretty soon I'll now have a dozen of these trees! Some I'll keep, while the majority I'll gift away. It grows very well from cuttings, with am almost 100% success rate, (if we use rooting hormone on the cuttings, otherwise it's around 80%).
