- John Whitenight was born in a small upstate Pennsylvania town. By the time he was five years old he had developed an avid interest in art. This continued into his teenage years when he decided he would explore this talent further and ultimately share it with others by pursuing an Art Education degree. Upon graduation he began his art teaching career in a senior high school where he remained for the next 30 years eventually becoming the chairperson of the department. During this period he also acquired a Masters equivalent in decorative arts-related studies in Philadelphia where he now resides.
Always a collector of Victoriana, one fateful day in 1973 friends gave him a small glass dome containing three canaries. The following decades have been rich with the study of the why and wherefore of these lovely domed items. Currently, the author’s collection contains over 200 domed displays ranging in height from four inches to some over a meter in height. #AlwaysGrowingMore
they are great cuttings!
Love all of it
That is so cool!
This in one plant I too have had for over 40 years. Also got it as cuttings from a lady I used to baby sit her plants and animals. I admired hers so she just snipped off a couple nice chunks of it. I had big time set backs with it with an odd spot issue. Not scale. Also had to do a repot when it got about 7 foot tall. Divided the plant and it suffered. Last spring I had thrips and went through the spray ordeal and plant suffered again. Finally is it doing really well. Needless to say it has not bloomed through all the issues. I have high hopes agaon as she is looking really lovely now. The blooms smell so good. BUT you need to have a late night party to enjoy them as then only bloom late at night and blooms are done by morning. I hope the cuttings to well for you.
You can check out John and Fred's conservatory on an episode of Summer Rayne Oaks channel, the episode name is A VICTORIAN CONSERVATORY TOUR in Philadelphia. It's one of my favorite home tours she's done.
I have one of these and didn't know it was a unicorn!🥰
