Advertisement Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 Hi FrancoisF, Take a look here Jade plant blooming. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
war Posted April 4, 2016 Share #2 Posted April 4, 2016 Another great image with appealing bokeh. Aren't the Jade plants amazing there, they can grow as big as trees. They're used as hedges on Gonzalez Suarez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted April 4, 2016 Share #4 Posted April 4, 2016 Beautiful, and the 1st time I've seen jade blooming. Years ago a girlfriend gave me a jade plant and warned me if it died we were through. I think that was just an easy way for her to break up with me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sorry for what happened with your girlfriend…. The blooming is very strange. From the same plant, which I separated in to pots, one has bloomed, the other not.

platypus Posted April 5, 2016 Share #6 Posted April 5, 2016 "The blooming is very strange".....this is so true, I have several potted jade plants residing happily inside my house, they are perhaps twelve or thirteen years old and have become so large that I cannot move them, not one of them has ever produced a flower. This is such a nice photo by the way...and perfect dof. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent photo, tack sharp with a creamy smooth bokeh. I'll add my name to the list of those who have never seen a jade plant bloom. Stuart, Photograph, This is a quick D Lux 4 shot of my jade plants. They were the same tree and we separated them, in two vases, six months ago. Now the one on the left bloomed, the other did'nt. Very strange. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

war Posted April 6, 2016 Share #11 Posted April 6, 2016 Whenever I see a photo of Quito, I try to figure out where it is. I'm guessing beyond your Jades it looks like Paul Rivet near the turning circle at Whymper and La Coruna? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
platypus Posted April 6, 2016 Share #12 Posted April 6, 2016 I read somewhere (a long time ago) that plants, including trees and shrubs, tend to produce more flowers/blossom than normal when they have been greatly stressed in some way or have endured a very bad time of drought etc. Apparently this is in a desperate, last ditch attempt to propagate, to spread seeds, pollen or whatever before dying and thereby save themselves and the species. I don't know....but I've always thought this terribly sad. Perhaps your jade plant that did flower was moved to a new pot while the plant that did not flower remained in the same old pot, and so underwent less trauma?....just a thought.
