I

Here’s a ‘cereus’ story about a dramatic plant

ONCE HAD THE HONor of being invited to what sounded like a “serious” little party.

Actually, it wasn’t really a “serious” party, but a “cereus” one — “cereus” being a name for a night blooming cactus.

This party was called at the spur of the moment to coincide with the blooming of this plant, which occurs for just a few nights each year.

Such blooms would have to be indeed spectacular to warrant a gathering in their honor or — even more so — to warrant tending the plant for the whole year for its few days of glory. Correction: It’s few nights of glory. The blossoms turn flaccid by daybreak, lingering a bit longer than usual into morning only if temperatures are very cool.

What’s more, a cereus cactus is not much to look at when it’s not in bloom. This spineless cactus has pods of flat, shiny leaves jointed together. Through winter, I was told, the plant looks downright unhappy.

And cereus is no small plant that can be spirited away into some unseen corner during those periods when it’s looking it’s worst.

This cactus quickly grows to enormous proportions. The plant I saw was in a hanging basket with the tips of its

stems dangling on one side 5 feet across from those on the other side. The plant will survive pruning, but must be allowed to grow large if it’s going to make flowers.

Cereus also demands prime real estate in and around the home. For best growth, it needs a prominent spot in a sunny window through the cold months, then a partially sunny spot outdoors once the weather warms. In winter, this plant needs to be kept on the dry side; it is more apt to recover from shriveled than from rotted stems. Because growth occurs mostly in the warmth months, that is also when the plant wants to be fed.

For all the night blooming cactus’ trouble and gawkiness, and its being mostly out of bloom, is it worth growing?

Immediately as I stepped out onto the terrace to meet the plant, I was swept quickly forward by the sweet, musty aroma that filled the air. The creamy white blossoms, each 5 inches across and comprised of layer upon layer of strappy petals, were as breathtaking to the eyes as to the nose. Pouring out the center of each blossom was a filigree of stamens, also creamy white. Fat, spiny, expectant buds foretold of more blossoms to come later

that evening.

So-called night blooming cereus can be even more dramatic, for there’s another one with even larger blooms, these up to a foot across.

The plant of this species, botanically not really cereus

but Hylocereus, is commensurately larger, and its stems have sharp, three-cornered edges.

By comparison, the night blooming cereus I saw is easy to accommodate. And if truth be told, not only was

the little party in its honor not very serious, but neither, really is this plant either.

Botanically, its real name is Epiphyllum.

‘Mixing table’ proves to be great match at auction

‘A

NTIQUE MIXING table” is what the auction catalog said. Meant to mix what? How did you use it?

When was it made? Where did it belong in the house?

An online search was no help. Today the name “mixing table” refers to the electronic consoles that are used to create music recordings. A search of several large modern dictionaries, books on period furniture and more online searching got pictures but no explanation.

But there was a clue.

The auction’s piece was probably made by Anthony Quervelle (1789-1856). He was a popular furniture maker who worked in Philadelphia about 1815. He specialized in carved wooden, usually mahogany, pieces in the Classical style.

The mixing table was used in a Southern dining room to mix drinks. There were special shelves to store bottles.

Its marble, not mahogany, top was less likely to be stained if a drink was spilled. The top of the table was 40 inches from the floor, the perfect serving height. To add to the room’s decoration, mixing tables were made with decorative scrolls and panels.

A Neal Auction in New Orleans sold a mixing table attributed to Quervelle for $3,200. Several other similar tables sold in the past few years for a comparable price.

CURRENT PRICES Current prices are recorded from antiques shows, flea markets, sales and auctions throughout the United States. Prices vary in different locations because of local economic conditions.

This is an antique mixing table that is 40 inches high and 36 inches wide. It is used to store liquor, mix drinks and become a serving table in a dining room. It sold for about $3,000.

Quilt rack is cold-weather classic to work on during hot days

NCE UPON A TIME — before central heating and electric blankets — keeping warm on a cold night simply meant adding more covers to the bed.

Even though today’s modern conveniences keep us warm at the flick of a switch, there’s still nothing like a cozy quilt to take the chill off a cold night. And this classic quilt rack project is still the best way to keep those quilts (and blankets) handy.

The federal government’s inability to come to an agreement on a coronavirus relief package has been good for mortgage rates.

The 30-year fixed mortgage rate, the most popular home loan product, sank to its lowest level on record. It fell to 2.88% with an average 0.8 point, according to the latest data released Thursday

by Freddie Mac. (Points are fees paid to a lender equal to 1% of the loan amount and are in addition to the interest rate.) It was 2.99% a week ago and 3.6% a year ago.

Since November 2018, when it was 4.94%, it has fallen more than two percentage points.

The 30-year fixed rate has never been this low since Freddie Mac began tracking mortgage rates in 1971. It surpassed the previous low of 2.98%, set last month. This is the eighth time the 30-year fixed rate has fallen to a new low since March.

Freddie Mac, the federally chartered mortgage investor, aggregates rates from around 80 lenders across the country to come up with weekly national average mortgage rates. It uses rates for high-quality borrowers who tend to have strong credit scores and large down payments. These rates are not available to every borrower.

The 15-year fixed-rate average dropped to 2.44% with an average 0.8 point. It was 2.51% a week ago and 3.05% a year ago. The fiveyear adjustable rate average went down to 2.9% with an average 0.4 point. It was 2.94% a week ago and 3.36% a year ago.

“Mortgage rates moved notably downward this week,

as a stalemate in Washington dampened investor sentiment,” said Matthew Speakman, a Zillow economist. “Recently, downward pressure on mortgage rates has been consistent, but a combination of factors including increased demand from borrowers and reluctance from lenders to push rates lower - had kept them afloat. But the inability for the federal government to agree to a new fiscal relief bill last week finally tipped rates over the edge and down to new all-time lows. Now that the threshold has been broken, more downward rate movements may be on the horizon.”

Meanwhile, despite the low rates, mortgage applications dropped off last week.

According to the latest data from the Mortgage Bankers Association, the market composite index - a measure of total loan application volume - decreased 5.1% from a week earlier. The purchase index fell 2% from the previous week but was up 22% yearover-year. The refinance index went down 7% but was 84% higher than a year ago. The refinance share of mortgage activity accounted for 63.9% of applications.

Truffula Pink gomphrena hosts a ‘Garden Party of Swallowtails’ at The Garden Guy’s house. (NORMAN WINTER/TNS)

Truffula Pink is magical gomphrena

By Norman Winter

Tribune News Service

Truffula Pink gomphrena has already been hotter than the proverbial $2 pistol, but The Garden Guy is here to tell you it is even better than we thought.

It has been the champion of all butterfly plants at my house and if your peak butterfly season is September/October and you find them for sale, buy them.

It was just a couple of days ago I was watching swallowtails hitting on a clump of mine and as I was about to photograph two feeding close together two more flew in kind of like a pollinator photo bomb.

It’s not just swallowtails, but American ladies, silver-spotted skippers, common buckeyes and regular hummingbird visits too. The pollinators alone would make you want to grow it, but shoot, it is beautiful and one of the toughest, most persevering plants you can grow.

Believe me when I say when the heat is on, this is a must have plant.

Botanically speaking, Truffula Pink is Gomphrena pulchella with DNA from Bolivia but coming to you, courtesy of Proven Winners. Each iridescent hot pink bloom looks as though it is exploding with little rays of yellow. It will reach a little over 2-feet tall with an equal spread in your garden.

Truffula Pink has won over a dozen prestigious awards in trials across the country. You

will not only delight in its beauty and size but will relish the fact that it too is well-suited to cutting and using in the vase.

It can also be used as a dried flower.

Truffula Pink needs full sun and fertile well-drained soil to really perform to its capability.

Letting these great plants sit in wet soggy soil will be a crime.

You will want to space your plants 20-36 inches apart and apply a good layer of mulch after planting. It is a great plant for mass planting.

The Garden Guy has them in containers as the thriller plant and partnered with Whirlwind Blue scaevola, Superbells Double Blue calibrachoa and Goldilocks lysimachia. In the landscape I have it in several combinations, some with Illusion Emerald Lace ornamental sweet potatoes, others with Luscious Royale Cosmo lantana and some with Sunstar pentas.

Whether you buy now in late summer for the late butterfly push, or choose to wait until next spring, The Garden Guy recommends you buy several.

Truffula Pink will add that needed sizzle to the landscape and be a wonderful thriller plant in mixed containers.
