As the last part of my ongoing Beat The Market Experiment, here's the December 2012 update for my consumer loan portfolio. See also my $10,000 Benchmark and $10,000 Play portfolio updates for December 2012.
On 11/1/12, I deposited $10,000 split evenly between Prosper Lending and Lending Club, and went to work lending other people money and earning interest. Here's how I'm doing it:
- 8-10% target return, net of defaults and fees. Each site provides an estimated return based on the interest rate and expected delinquency rate, but I am also using specific filters to try and maximize my return. Overall, I would say my risk profile is moderate/conservative. If I can get an 8% net return over the next 3+ years in the current interest rate environment, I'll view the portfolio as a success.
- Minimal time commitment. I've done the manual loan-picking thing, and I'm over it. 400 loans at $25 a pop would take forever. Both sites allow you to save customized loan filters and use an automated investment algorithm to pick a portfolio for you.
- Loan Filters. I'm constantly tinkering with the loan filters, but you can get a good idea of what I am using by reading this best Prosper filters post and this older LendingClub filter post. Nothing too fancy, just some broad filters based on historical inefficiencies that may or may not persist.
- Loan term lengths and reinvested interest. I thought about only buying loans with 3-year terms in order to have a clean ending timeframe to this experiment, but in reality that would leave a lot of cash at the end as many people pay off their loans early. Also, higher rates are found in 5-year loans. Given the ample liquidity I found in secondary market, if I wanted to end the experiment I could just sell all my loans and cash out. (In October, I sold all of my existing loans on the secondary Folio market in a matter of days, quite easy as long as you're willing to sell at a discount.) This way I will reinvest any additional cash into new loans maximize return.

The cable internet at my place has been spotty for about the past 10 days or so (Comcast FTL). The most recent outage was from Thursday morning through yesterday afternoon, enough to cause me to miss a couple WoW raids, which was rather infuriating.
I guess it's a good thing in a way, as I've done some things this weekend I wouldn't normally have done if I had internet access. Like playing Settlers of Catan at my friends' place. Yes...a board game. This game is crazy fun though--why's it taken us so long to discover it!?!! I also read a book *GASP* Yes...I was so desperate for entertainment I actually read a book. OK it was just the Da Vinci Code, which hardly qualifies as literature in the minds of you popular fiction haters out there. But whatever, it was entertaining and kept me occupied for a few hours. I even got out of the house and watched X-Men in the theater. Now that was a pretty mediocre film, but it did get an extra brownie point for referencing "I'm da Jugganaut, b****!"
On the culinary side of things, my friends and I headed out to Napa (well, Yountville to be specific) yesterday to eat at my favoritest restaurant in the whole wide world. OK, I'm not that well traveled, but for it to be my favorite eatery in the SF Bay Area (and I have eaten at a few of the finer places around here) is still heady praise. For those of you who are visiting wine country anytime soon--you absolutely must eat at Bistro Jeanty.
Don't bother reading the menu. If the waiter tries to get you to order something else, like the coq au vin, do not listen. You want to order the tomato soup with puff pastry as an appetizer, and the "daube de boeuf" (beef stew) as your entree. It's quite simply, the most sublime beef stew you will ever eat in your life. The meat is so tender, just blowing on it causes it to fall apart. They serve the dish with a fork, but it's more properly eaten with a spoon. Mortal men should not be allowed to indulge their palates like this. Remember in Once Upon a Time in Mexico, when Johnny Depp's character says, upon finding the perfect puerco pibil, "It is so good that when I'm finished with it, I'll pay my check, walk straight into the kitchen and shoot the cook. Because that's what I do. I restore the balance to this country." Yeah. This beef stew is the same type of revelation, but I'd never walk up to Chef Philippe Jeanty and shoot him, because that man is a genius. So yea. Next time you're in California wine country, stop in Yountville.
It's Memorial Day weekend, so allowing it to pass without a BBQ would simply be unAmerican. I'll be heading out to one shortly--hopefully there'll be some football and/or basketball being played. Then tonight it's off to another fine Bay Area restaurant, Town Hall, for a friend's birthday. Whew, all this time out of the house sure is fun, but expensive. If the 'net connection cooperates, I'll have to spend next weekend holed up at home playing some Alterac Valley matches in WoW.

Smallish House Construction
We have house plans now and I thought I'd share. Our house is going to be much smaller and simpler than many of the houses on the Building forum so I wanted to get some opinions here too.
We currently live in a house that is almost the same size but with a cathedral ceiling in the living room making less livable square footage. We know the size works but needed some changes in layout to better suit our lifestyle.
The house is 1.5 story with a 12:12 roof and a full dormer on the bedroom side. The view is incredible from almost every window.
Here is a link that might be useful: our blog
"but with a cathedral ceiling in the living room making less livable"
I'm not sure what this means. You mean ABOVE the living room???
Our house is 1600 sq feet. If you add the non-finished basement 3200 sq feet (makes sense LOL).
Here is a link that might be useful: Rod and DJ's House Building Adventure
Yes, our current house has a cathedral ceiling in the living room. That means we have over 200sqft of "missing" upstairs space. This home will have the same exterior size but a full second floor giving us more space.
We'll have a full basement which is the norm here but it won't be finished until much later.
Our livable space will be 1800sqft (900 up and 900 down) with another 900 unfinished basement. Right now we have 900sqft down and 650 up plus the unfinihsed basement.
Thanks for sharing your blog. How did you like building in the winter? We will be building through next winter but should be rooftight before the cold weather comes.
Well - "WE" are not building but have a General Contractor and there is no problem - in fact it works out great.
We talked to our new neighbors and they agree.
The hole was dug early FEB and then we had a blizzard but even blizzards are a non-factor as far as digging a hole. Temp is the only concern and we were set back 2 weeks with below zero weather. Once the temps hit 20 it was full steam ahead.
Foundation needed 5 days to cure (sp ??), then the framing started and 20 days (16 work days) later we are covered with windows and shingles!
One thing you might or might not know! The house will changes sizes a number of times. Even though I knew of this phenomenon it still is a shocker.
If this is the first house you are building you will not believe how many decisions you will be making.
Here is a link that might be useful: Rod and DJ's House Building Adventure
This is our second house and our last! We've chosen a piece of land we don't want to leave.
We considered building through the winter but the chances of having enough time above freezing to do the foundation was slim so we decided to wait. Now after a few changes and stalls we will be starting in the next month.
grinder 12000, we built our first house in Alaska and you DID have to be above freezing for the foundation. LOL Once the ground is frozen, good luck putting a foundation in. By the way building in the winter is NOT fun. We were putting on a metal roof in -5 degrees, and yes we did it ourselves. We did not expect to do this but learned the hard way there is always delays in building even when you are doing it yourself. We had rain almost the entire month of August which delayed the framing. We are now getting ready to build our third house and I hope this is the last time. I feel I am getting to old for this. I have learned to expect the unexpected and no matter what happens it couldn't be much worse than what we went through when we build in Alaska.
Here is a link that might be useful: suntoadmom houses
First off, WOW, Suntoadmom! You have --and have had-- some beautiful properties! Gorgeousness!
ajpl, we're thinking of building a similar layout, with 2 bedrooms upstairs and eventually finish the basement with one or two more bedrooms there. Thing is, it would NOT be our last home. Do you -- any of you -- think we'd have a problem with resale? I'm guessing most people in the market for smaller homes (ours would be under 1400sf not counting the basement) are empty-nesters that want their rooms on the ground floor. We want the house WE want but we do have to take this into consideration before we finalize our plans.
Sorry, this ended up being sort of a hijack!
Don't worry about the highjack! I think I answered you already somewhere but we did sell our current home which is similar very easily. One thing is that our house had a lot of character with the post and beams etc but we did get a very high price for our area.

I gained 55 with my first & lost it all w/out trying (but it took 18 mos!) I only breastfed for 9 mos so maybe I'll go longer this time. I don't really worry about the weight since I know it will come off (eventually) but I feel like a giant cow every single day. That part sucks!
Posted 12/10/2012
At 20 weeks it was 8 pounds.

Mubarak Verdict Due On June 2
Originally published on Wed February 22, 2012 1:00 pm
As the case against former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak came to a close today, the trial judge announced he expects to deliver a verdict on June 2.
"Mubarak turned down a chance to address the court , the prosecution has called for the death penalty. If convicted, Mubarak, his interior minister Habib al-Adly and six security chiefs could receive the death penalty for ordering the deaths of protesters during the uprising that toppled Mubarak a year ago."
NPR's Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson explained on Morning Edition that if he's found guilty, Mubarak is expected to appeal the decision. And if he's found not guilty, "the fear is that people will be outraged" and there could be more violence in the streets of Egypt's cities.

As you know, one of the best sources for news and images are the Palestinian forums and message boards, though one has to go through pages and pages of anti-Israel and anti-Semitic propaganda, before you can find one good image or snippet of information.
Nevertheless, every now and then, the propaganda backfires.
In this cynical picture thread about IDF "invincibility", we can see photos of wounded soldiers, funerals of fallen soldiers and photos of IDF personnel ducking and taking cover when a siren that warns of incoming rockets from Gaza goes off.
Then there's this image:
With a little bit of internet wizardry, I found the truth behind this image:
NAHAL OZ, ISRAEL – AUGUST 2: In this handout photo provided by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF), IDF medics treat a wounded Palestinian man shortly after Israel allowed some 150 Fatah fighters to flee from Hamas gunmen in the Gaza Strip during the night on August 2, 2008 at the Nahal Oz crossing into the Jewish state. In a rare move, Defence Minister Ehud Barak authorized a total of 150 un-armed Palestinians to cross in to Israel for refuge including about a dozen wounded who were taken to hospital for treatment.
A little bit less internet wizardry, would have informed the Hamashole that posted that image, that the photo's name is "Flickr_-_Israel_Defense_Forces_-_IDF_Soldiers_Treats_Palestinian_Man", and that ripping images of the Algemeiner is a no-no.
Then again, there's an open battle between Hamas and Fatah for
Terrorist Organization of the Year presidency in the PA, so brandishing one another as "Zionist" is not inconceivable.

February 2015 Newsletter – ASNT President Message
Welcome to February!
As we enter the succedent mid season Aquarius house, the Board is mirroring that momentum with our monthly meeting conference call. We are starting to get in the groove, if you will, with the ideas and talents of our general membership and Board members shinning through.
Last month we had a fresh astrological view with Cynthia Novak taking us through our personal Vedic chart emphasizing not only the differences in format, but the various Vedic strongpoint's that engaged her to start fusing together eastern and western astrology in her practice.
This month, we continue that theme, breaking out of our comfort zone and examining a wide variety of western astrology chart house systems, along with lunar phases as a foundation, and what system seems to work best for the different types of astrology and questions asked. We will be seeing this through the eyes and experience of our own north Texas astrologer, Christy Hall. Christy was invited to present this talk to the Astrological Society of Austin in fall of 2013, and was well received for her insights and perspective. And we learn all this all while Mercury is retrograde in the present sun sign of Aquarius! We all have various questions and curiosities on the different formats out there, so let's review what we know, learn what we dont know, and break out of that comfort zone. What better way to help communicate chart interpretations than using what seems to work best!
Looking ahead, the Board is pulling together an impressive line-up of speakers, even keeping 2016 in mind. Remember, this is a two way street, we invite any suggestions that you may have.
I'm looking forward to seeing you on February 8th and hope you have a happy Valentine's day this month!

Here Comes Jupiter in Leo
By Claire Shepard
In Andrew Cohen's book, Enlightenment is a Secret, he writes, "Realize perfect innocence and abide there always. Innocence is what we knew ourselves to be before we knew anything else. Before we knew anything at all, we knew this purity. Coming upon the perfect purity of this innocence, we are overwhelmed with awe, wonder, mystery and devotion."
I believe this passage speaks exquisitely to the essential energy of Leo which rules children, love affairs and creative self- expression. It is the true foundation of any sort of creative process or approach to love. For many, accessing this place requires moving past old, early life conditioning and self-doubt which says we don't have what it takes or that something within us is flawed. We are all here to love and to be creative. We all search and struggle to capture the awe, the wonder and the mystery.
Jupiter, planet of expansion, growth, optimism, and good fortune moves into the fiery sign of Leo on July 16, 2014 at 5:30:30 AM CDT. Jupiter in Leo will give us a special opportunity to tap into this place of simplicity. We all possess the Leo energy in our natal birth chart and here in its fresh and implicit potential we naturally love ourselves, honor ourselves and contribute through spontaneous passion, love and joy. This power, this innocence, is inherent in everyone.
The Jupiter transiting aspects coming from early August to Neptune, from late August to early September to Pluto, from late September to early October to Saturn will serve as the impetus to break out of old fears, restrictions and illusions about our possibilities. These aspects catalyze us viscerally to communicate our truest feelings. They dare us to experiment joyfully with fresh ideas including any and all forms of talent and abilities. Jupiter through Leo can lend us the courage to leap off with our most secretly held dreams of art, love, romance, sex and merriment. Jupiter, in its journey through the energy field of Leo, will provide chances to grow, to soar, recognizing where and how we can bring excitement, love and spontaneity to our lives.
Since Leo rules the creative child we must nurture these dreams and efforts keeping them close to our hearts while encouraging our children and friends to do the same. Keep an eye on the children. They are the spark. Watch, listen, and learn.
Our current culture may not value the crucial nature of these efforts however; if we look throughout history we know this is a highly prized part of any advanced civilization. The United States, established with the Sun in Cancer, is far more concerned with matters of money and status. My message is we have to support and empower ourselves from within through this process.
We will all be challenged to bring to life, our fire, our affection, from the truth and soul of our being. Our ability to move forward with this dynamic time will be directly proportional to our bravery in facing and healing the core issues which have held many of us back for so long. We may have to dig deeply into our belief systems about what is possible for us. We may have to closely guard our thoughts and listen to our gut, our instincts, for true guidance. Julia Cameron's, The Artist's Way is a book which leads us gently and happily through our resistances to creative evolution and change. Evolution and change which will enhance our confidence, bringing enchantment and abiding satisfaction to our lives. This is a book for everyone.
For many, this potent urge to express ourselves spiritually, emotionally and physically will no longer be a choice. It will be ripe to bursting, ready within us, yearning for a voice, an avenue. Repressing fire creates anger, depression and disease. It's far easier to direct our force consciously and a great deal more fun and rewarding.
My intention is to focus and ground daily in nature and commit to this year-long moment. My intention is to stay mindful and nurture myself from what I have learned from Jupiter's transit through Cancer this last year.. To affirm I am in the right place at the right time giving myself encouragement from one day to the next. By patiently and deliberately devoting our precious energy to our deepest, most personal passions and aspirations, we can realize an exhilarating new magic in our lives, a new beginning.
So be it.

CANADIAN ASSOCIATION OF SLAVISTS SECRETARY-TREASURER'S REPORT 2006/07 Financial outlook The financial situation of CAS during 2006/07 is very similar to the one in the previous fiscal year. We receive a fixed $5,910 travel grant from SSHRC to subsidize travel to the Learned Societies Conference, and our $40,000 CAS Fund, invested in GICs, generates a small interest that amounts to $875. The surcharge on CAS membership dues implemented in 2002 amounted to about $650 this year. Unlike in 2004 and 2005, last year's conference generated a positive cash flow, adding about $1,500 to the CAS revenue in 2006/07. These amounts were sufficient to subsidize travel at about 50% of the requested amount, for a total of close to $6500, and to pay the cost of membership in CFHSS, $1,909 per year currently. Because of a higher than expected revenue from the conference at York, we have a small surplus of about $700, to help cope with this year's expenses. Unlike in previous years, this year's conference required some upfront expenses for the banquet, about $2000, for which we will be reimbursed eventually. In order to provide travel subsidies in usual amounts and not to put the account into deficit, I called upon CSP to provide an additional $3,000. The last time this transfer was necessary was in 2004, and it will unlikely be necessary next year if this year's conference will at least break even. In essence, we learned to live on a shoestring budget, unfortunately, with a minimum of activities. CAS Fund and charitable status matters During this year we finally resolved out difference with Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and restored the charitable status of CAS. It was revoked in 2000 after the Registered Charity Information Return was not submitted to CRA in 1998/99. The saga of restoring the charitable status of CAS lasted more than three years and it involved submitting Information Returns for fiscal years from 1998/99 to 2004/05, and countless communications with CRA. After all Returns were submitted, the main remaining issue was the Constitution of CAS that includes the advocacy objectives for the profession, in addition to clearly charitable educational goals. Strictly speaking, only the CAS Fund, with its Constitution embedded in the CAS Constitution, is clearly a charitable part of CAS. Max was eventually successful in persuading CRA to register CAS as a Charity with the Constitution at it is now. The key to maintain the registration status is the timely submission of Registered Charity Information Returns, with the pattern of reporting established in our previous submissions. In practical terms, CAS has never violated any charity rules simply because we have never issued a tax deduction receipt in the period when our registration was revoked. We now have the opportunity to start a fundraising campaign and issue tax receipts for contributions into CAS Fund, as do many professional organizations similar to CAS. One simple fundraising mechanism used by many organizations collecting membership dues is to include a line item "voluntary contribution" on the membership fee invoice. 1 Current finances CAS finances now work in operational cycles with fiscal years ending March 31 of every calendar year. The transition to this fiscal year pattern has been completed in 2005/06. This reporting pattern is convenient for a number of reasons. First of all, conference-related revenue and expenses are mainly recorded in the same fiscal year, which makes it easier to understand the financial performance of the organization. In addition, fiscal years of CSP, CAS Fund, and of the Association are now synchronized. Income statements of the CAS Fund and of CAS are summarized below for 2005-06 fiscal year, with projections for 2007/08. CAS Fund The following Table summarizes the status of the CAS Fund during the past three years, when the Fund was transferred from the Ukrainian Credit Union to RBC. The interest earnings of the Fund in 2007-08 are assumed to be the same as in 2006-07. The GICs was reinvested in March 2007. All interest earnings of the Fund are transferred to CAS to subsidize travel of graduate students to the conference. Table 1: CANADIAN ASSOCIATION OF SLAVISTS (FUND) Income Statement and Balance Sheet 2004-051 2005-06 2006-07 2007-08 Fiscal Year July 1, 2004 April 1, 2005 April 1, 2006 April 1, 2006 March 31, 2005 April 30, 2006 April 30, 2007 April 30, 2007 CURRENT ASSETS Ukranian Credit Union Term RBC GIC 40,000 40,000 40,000 40,000 Ukranian Credit Union Savings RBC Savings TOTAL ASSETS, start of FY 40,000.00 40,000.00 40,000.00 40,000.00 REVENUE Interest on term deposit Interest from GIC 848.75 887.50 947.50 947.5 Total revenue 848.75 887.50 947.50 947.5 EXPENSES Transfer to CAS 848.75 887.50 947.50 947.50 Total expenses 848.75 887.50 947.50 947.50 NET INCOME (LOSS) 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 TOTAL ASSETS, end of FY 40,000.00 40,000.00 40,000.00 40,000.00 1 Transition to Fiscal Year starting April 1 2 CAS In The 2006-07 Income Statement and Balance Sheet in Table 2 includes healthy revenue from the York Conference, which helped to create the year-end excess revenue of $718.18 for the reported period. Other expenses and revenues are approximately the same as in previous years. The projected expenses for 2007-08 are also in line with previous years, with the exception of higher transfer from CSP to pay upfront conference costs. Since this is a recoverable expense, the estimated conference gross revenue is projected to be higher. Note also that the total transfer of $3,885.50 from CSP has taken place in May and is recorded as projected income for 2007-08 in Table 2.

September blooms tic toc almost the end.
The past week till current its been averaging 80 to about 84 in my patch and 70 to 68 at night. When I took the pic it was 5:15pm and had been overcast grey so the lighting was weird. There are still new inflos forming and popping up but usually for me they usually drop off come June. I took pics of inflos that still looked good. For some reason my blooms are smaller this year, usually they are much larger...might be the new soil Ive been using...
Also some of the trees are so tall now I have to use a ladder to climb up and take the pic, the patch is so full that I had to actually go to the sidewalk outside the property and use the digital zoom from afar so those are the pics that look a bit foggy or distorted..sorry.
Austrail just opened this week:
Bali Whirl...
Bill Morange...been blowing up with huge inflos this season:
California Sally:
Celebration...Blooing in the shade..if its hot looks super red
JJ's Christina:

Thortons Lemon Drop
Hi James,
What can i even say?
I just love every single pic and i love all of the vivid colors.
Your trees are so healthy and are simply gorgeous...
I love Musk Rainbow and Firestorm they both are lovely as well!!
San Miguel is just a stunner.. I can't wait for mine to bloom, hopefully next year.
I just checked on some of those that you sent. Bonnie Fox has rooted.. Thank Goodness. you had said it was a harder one to root, it was the last of the cuttings to root. Im so happy about that!!
Your patch must look fantastic and i wish i could see it someday..
Question? When you say from "Oz" I have seen that posted on another forum.. Is that a seller? or a private collection? I always wondered when i would see that person say.."From Oz"
Wonderful pics..thank you for climbing on the ladder.. Hope your feeling better too!
I think i need to sit down after seeing all of that beauty!! : )
So beautiful...
Thanks for posting!!
Hey Laura,
Thanks for the compliment. Your collection is amazing and growing so soon you will have to climb your own ladder to snap pics..lol
As for OZ its a term which means we got it from Australia..lol I imported a lot back in 2001 directly from Australia before Brad and others started carrying and selling Australian varieties. Back in 2001 and 2002 the American Dollar was worth like 30 percent more then the Aussie dollar..lol can u imagine it was like a discount to buy from them directly, those were the days..lol
Thanks again
James - as Laura said, they are all beautiful! You have several that I've never heard of. Isn't it odd that those are the ones that I'm most attracted to? LOL
Austrail - can that be purchased stateside? It is just lovely!
You are so lucky to be 1 of 7. Don't let anything happen to that Thai Peach! :)
Hi Laura! How are you doing? Everything good with the grandbaby? Hopefully you'll post more pics soon! :)
I think when others mention that it came from Oz, they are meaning it is an Australian variety?
Australia goes supposedly by other AKA's like Cabalaba Pink...Florida Colors sells her now and Brad also does on occasion. Australia has LARGE flowers definite must for any collector, its one of Sonia's Fav plumies. As for Thai Peach I was with Lynn and Gabby having a Plumie get together at Pink Berry Frozen Yogurt and I happen to mention that I gave 3 cuttings of Thai Peach to Irene Jones and she mentioned that Sonia had lost hers to frost this past winter and that Gabby and I were the only 2 to have it left. I actually notified Gabby that I knew that Sonia had either sold or traded Lopaka and Jack Morgan Thai Peach and I gave Irene Jones 3 cuttings and Doug Brunner from MPG a cutting or 2.... Oh Laura your Mystery Cutting also maybe a JJ Thai Peach or the other thing I stated in the email.
The thing with Thai Peach is that the flowers are HUGE adn round like 4' to 4 1/2" plus and if your in a hot area it pops the purple, heavy profuse bloomer.
Thanks again Monnie
Thanks, James. I went to FC website and saw the Capalaba Pink and it looks just like yours. Yet doesn't. LOL
That's why I love seeing photos from you guys because sometimes the sellers pics aren't so great.
Matt had another Waimea up for bid tonight and I decided to give it another shot, keeping my bid within what is reason for me. Needless to say......... LOL.... I'll try again another time.
So, I thought I would just hop over to FC site and buy the Capalaba Pink. But, I didn't.
My spring list is growing waaaay too large! I just warned someone that this forum is terrible about enabling and you're one of the worst... in the Top 5. :)
Very interesting concerning Thai Peach. As the years go by and you have enough to share, please keep me on the list, ok?
I really like the muted shades of Celebration in the shade. Pretty!
Sure thing... Also wanted to show you the many faces of JJ's Thai Peach.. Here is a pic from Gabby that was taken with hot Inland Empire heat in June
Here is another pic of Thai Peach with less color again from the IE Brets pic
Since my patch does not get that hot I do not get the same color. Sometimes my Tahi Peach looks totally all yellow also. Amazing plumie
Thanks.. Hope your collection is having a great Sept.
I agree about the grainy look, but even if it looks sold yellow it is such a profuse bloomer with such HUGE blooms that it is still a stunner...Thanks again
Like I tell other addicts its one step at a time or season at a time, pace yourself..lol You have next season and season after that and so on to grow your collection.
Hi James,
Thanks for the great pics you posted. You pictures never cease to amaze me. Loving Moragne 93, Musk Rainbow, E.T. Lemondrop, Lolos Red, is amazing, and so is T-Bred Tracey. I am hoping to get a Musk Rainbow next year. I would LOVE to buy a larger E.T. Lemondrop and especially Jeannie Moragne. Seems like I will be waiting forever for these to bloom.
My J.J. Christina is getting ready to bloom but these darn cold temps are going to make the inflo abort, and I am not ready to bring all of them in yet.
The darn weather is not cooperating with me here either. I have to start cutting off leaves and it has been raining like crazy, which also is concerning. Last night we hit 46 degrees! OUCH! With the pots being saturated I was really starting to worry, but there only calling for 1 more night that cold this week, and the rest of the nights will be in the 50's. I may bring in my 1 gal Cherokee Geisha. The leaves actually looked wilted.
I am just not prepared to deal with this yet! Our temps on average have been more than 5 degrees below normal. It looks like my plumerias will be coming in for good a good month oe so early this year. I am just not willing to wait so long like I did last year to bring them in. I waited too long, I couldn't get all my pots to dry out and I lost 6 or 7 trees. Some were major losses for me because they were gifted to me.
Looking forward to more pics James. Thanks again!
I had to come back for another addiction feeding.. : )
Those pics are just amazing..
I agree about firestrom. STUNNING!!
Metallica is to die for.... YUM!!!
The Mystery tree would be wonderful if it is a JJ Thai Peach! I will have to go back and see about the other name that it might be. The only onther that i can recall is the BF.
Austrailia is just such a beauty!!! It is so hard to look at all of your blooms. I have to go and spend a few minutes on each pic to enjoy each one and see all of the different traits they have.
Ohh MYY! Just beautiful!!
Thanks for the info on "OZ" LOL.. I dont have any from the land of "oz" so i idin't know.. : ) Still learning!!! Always will... : )
Thank you for taking the time to post..
Jen.. watch out for those ladders. I gave up climbing them for the palm in my yard. I still will climb on the hot tub to tke pics of the Plumies, but i did give u that job to my son on the huge ladder to trimm the frounds off of those palms.. Here is a pic. of how tall they are and then you can understand!! LOL
Had to put in Leela too.. she has a seed pod growing.. YEA!!
This is a pic of my mother in my backyard to show the size of my palms!!! Now you can see why i wont climb the ladders anymore.. I used to wrap them in christmas lights.. that was always fun!!! NOT!! It looked nice, but then when they had to come down...UGGG!
Loving the pics and the palms... Is that your yard?
I agree with you about the ladders, I get acupuncture in both knees so its hard for me to shimmy up and down to take pics of the tall or leggy plumies. You have Metallica so you will find she grows straight up and tall. Thanks again for the compliments and for the show your pics are great and always love Leela even though she is a leggy grower.
Wow your fall comes quickly. My plumies stay exactly where they are and get watered every 2 weeks during winter. Well I am sure this up coming season will be spectacular for you in NY.
Actually my slowest compact grower is my Aurora Borealis since 1979 its only gotten a bit over 6ft to 7ft tall and is super bushy, penang Peach is a good compact grower, along with Bonnie Fox, Musk rainbow, Red Dusk, JL Pink Ruffles, Sundance, Puu Kahea, Guillots is manageable, Rim Fire, Donald Angus, Emmersons Pink Nova, a lot of JJ's are compact although Firestorm seems a bit leggy, Australia, Bali Whirl, Thai Mermaid Gem, Opera Rouge, Black Velvet from Lyndie Whye from Singapore, Hong Kong are all on the shorter compact side and there are many more.
Thanks again!
Emerson gave me a little lemon drop, now I can`t wait for it to be a big blooming lemon drop!
Pictures are just awesome as always. That Thai peach is gorgeous. I am always amazed how different they bloom in different environments. You don`t really see that kind of variation in any other plant.
Tally HO!
James, there you go again teasing me with Aurora Borealis!
I'm happy to say I have several you mentioned and will keep your list handy for future reference, though with having to drag these guys indoors every November I'm not sure how many more I can acquire. For some reason I was under the impression that Australia was a tall grower.
And that huge Thai Peach bloom is incredible! Thanks for taking the time to post those and to answer my question.
freak: freakin' awesome photos and clusters of blooms! What is your #1 favorite that you could not be without? :-)
Laura: How I love those palms. I may have another pindo to add to your collection in a few years. How's Great Grandma doing?? Are those Yucca aloifolia underneath the palms? Pretty spikey?
James, I was at work and almost passed out from a beauty overload. Mere humans can't handle so many stunning pics in a row! Let me know if you ever do tours - your collection is amazing! How big is your Bill M.? I recently got a rooted cutting that's doing well (I'm sure it will be a while before it blooms), but I've seen photos of large BM trees and they're amazing.
Congratulations on your plumeria and your photography. Just amazing.
OMG Emmerson is such a nice guy and his wife Nan. Love Nan's look, it suits her and she looks picture perfect and pretty. I met Emmerson once with Bud Guillot and his wife when they were at Cstars Nursery, had a group of people there on a plumie field trip with me, this was probably 2005.
Thanks again.
Remind me in spring and Ill send you a cutting of Aurora, shes so big that she leaning in her 40gal pot as she gets busy and wider but not taller. Most people who try to grow Aurora think they can get her to grow quicker with different custom mixes, sprays, fertilizers/nutrients and it never works....SLOW grower Thanks again.
OMG where have you been.lol. Your too funny...bill me..lol.
How are your cuttings, you rooting them already?
Hmmmmm Ive had soooooo many plumies over the years that its hard to chose just one. I cleared out 75percent of collection over the past 5 yrs, so what I have now is what I truly luv....BUT there are 3 I could not live with out 1A)Musk Rainbow for its beauty, color and growth habit (I am not a scent person at all, more into unusual coloration or shapes.)
1B) Budha Raksa for its unusually beautiful shape and color pattern and growth habit (As of this year I have not seen anyone selling this variety anymore here or in Thailand).
1C) HMMMM I guess I lied..lol its tossed up between Butterfly gold for its shape and coloration and size and Taj Mahal from JJ based on Shape, and color placement.
Hey Simidude,
How are things in Simivalley. I use to live in Woodland hills back in the day. As for BM, he is a SLOWWWWWW grower and bloomer. Takes a while for it to bloom, Ive had mine since 2006 and got it in a 5gal pot, I just re-potted him into a 10gal. In the 6yrs Ive had him he's grown about 3ft at the most. When Bill does flower its totally worth the wait, the color, the size of inflos (profuse bloomer) and the scent like grape juice. So you will love him when he blooms. Thanks again :)
Thanks everyone
Hi James!!!
That is my backyard!
I have my palms that i love in one area that makes it way down to the water.. The pool area is where i keep all of the Plumies. (Deck is where most of them are) I planted those palms about 18 years ago. They were about half the size when they were installed..by me!! LOL.. I was alot younger and could handle them then. Now i won't climb the tall ladder anymore. So, that is what my 22 year old son is for!! He actually loves them too. When i first put them in, i was one of the few in VB that tried to push the limits of cold hardy palms. Now they are everywhere and im happy that they have taken off here. Bud took me to John's house to see his collection of palms. I was amazed at what he had and how tall his were too! He has some that he grew from seed and are amazing. I had fun that day. Bud is such a gentleman!!
Still love all of your pics..
Just pure beauty if you ask me!!! : ) Can't get any better than that!!
Hi Dave.. Great Grandma is doing well, thank you for asking!!! She just turned 80 a few weeks ago. She is one happy lady with a new great grandson!! I am happy too! SO gald she is still around to see this beautiful little one.
LOL.. Have a Pindo getting to big? LOL.. You were tempting me with the citrus.. i kept thinking about that one and i knew my "eye roller" would wonder where this one came from..LMAO!!
Im sure i could find a home for your Pindo if you need some help. That is Spanish Bann. under the palms.. Yes, they will poke you and make new piercings wherever you touch them.. Ouch!! They are worse than the Agave AMericanna. Believe that? : )
Take care everyone..
OK, James.. i have to go and look one more time.. LOVE the pics.. I add new fav's to my list as i look again. I can't get over the size of the Thai Peach. She is HUGE!!!
Thanks again for the wonderful pics.. Makes me wish for spring!! Im ready for the winter to be over LOL .. It hasn't even started to chill down here yet!! : )
We have our challenges here on the East coast.. All four seasons.. Cold winters.. Uggg. Im ready to move south or west to the Pacific!!! : )
Take care,
Your yard is Amazing...love the scale, the plams/landscaping, and especially your mother..too cute. Do you have any date palms in your mix of palms? Dates are delish fresh off the tree. Well I think So Cal would love it you moved here :)
Thanks again!!
I go by Woodland Hills almost every day. Things are great in Simi Valley. I've only lived here two years (as of this week), but have really enjoyed it. I moved into a house with a nearly barren yard, and several hundred trees, exotic palms, plumeria, vines and bushes later, I'm having a great time!
I remember hearing that Bill Moragne smelled like grape Kool-aid. Then one day I was at a nursery and I smelled a plumeria and popped my head up and said - this has to be Bill Moragne! Beautiful flower and really unique scent - sent me back to chldhood memory. I have heard it's a challenge to grow though, and I guess I'll have to be really patient!
Laura, we have to talk palms one day! Mine are all still young (all 5-13 feet right now), but I like to see what palms look like when they've grown up! I love seeing pics of your yard, it's incredibly beautiful. You would love it palm-growing weather-wise in Southern CA, and Southern CA would love to have you! Although I have killed a couple of Cuban Royal Palms here. This third time the two I've planted are going to live - I made some big mistakes but I've learned and planned and prepared and planted at just the right time. And I play Celia Cruz music for them at night so they feel at home. These are doing really well. I really enjoyed seeing the palms in John Tarvin's yard.
Your plumeria collection is incredible, James, thanks again for sharing some stunning pics.
Have you been to Sperling Nursery in Calabasas, its AMAZING and they did have a few plumies back in the day. Simi has great weather not as hot as the Valley but windy as I recalled, especially if you were on the 118 freeway late in the afternoon.
I agree with the Palms, I use to try to grow coconut palms and had Date palms at my house in Palos Verdes back in the day.
Again thanks
Hey Jan,
Just saw your Email....
Plmerias are amazing as they stimulate 2 of or 6 sense, sight and smell. If you can't smell the plumies you can at least see their beauty via pics all year long, the gift that keeps on giving. Thanks for the compliments and yes time flys..

Following college, Morales worked at Chase Bank in New York before pursuing her journalism career.
Morales served as a weekend anchor/reporter and morning co-anchor at WVIT-TV in Hartford, Connecticut, where she reported on the Columbine shootings, Hurricane Floyd, the 2000 Presidential election, and the September 11, 2001 attacks. She also co-hosted and reported for the Emmy-nominated documentary, Save Our Sound, a joint production with WNBC on preserving the Long Island Sound. She began her on-air career at News 12 – The Bronx as the first morning anchor. She also served as camera operator, editor and producer for that network.

Aside from her journalistic duties, Morales was the co-anchor of NBC's coverage of the Macy's 4 July fireworks spectacular.

Morales hosted Miss Universe 2011 at Credicard Hall in São Paulo, Brazil and hosted Miss Universe 2014 in Doral, USA.
Personal life
Morales married Joseph Rhodes on August 22, 1998.[4] They have two sons, Joseph "Josh" and Luke, and reside in Hoboken, New Jersey. She took a four-month maternity leave from the Today Show between September and December 2008 to give birth to her second son Luke, who was born on September 9, 2008.[8] She is an avid runner, having competed in five marathons, including three New York City Marathons.

HAVE: Columbines for Fall Trade
I'm going to dig up some Columbines for the Fall Trade. They are shades of purple. We'll call these Number 1, 2, and 3. Anyone have any requests? First come, first served.
Doris...I'd love some of the purple & white (no. 1)....are they McKanna Giants? I have some soft pink with short spurs I'd be happy to trade...or perhaps something else. By the end of summer I can put together a list of things I have.
And be sure to save seeds of each kind. #1 looks like the colorado columbine, and 3# looks like a named "chocolate" or some such cultivar.
I want to do a big winter seed sowing exchange at the Green Elephant this fall. So start saving the seeds now. :)
Jim, I'll be saving seed! Susan, I've got you down for #2. I think I'm out of #1, folks.
Pam, I'd be glad to dig some #2 for you, but I'm only providing these at the local plant trades. Will you be around? Or, if not, can I collect seed and send you some when it's ripe?
I'd like some seed from #2 & #3 & would love to have a plant of each if we could work that out. I'm kinda in the boonies...
I am growing some mini-columbine this year & may have some seed from them to trade. I also will have seed from two different shades of deep red, one with white & the other with yellow. If you are interested in these. Then I have a couple of bags of mixed columbine seeds from last year...
