Going Garcinia

I have just a few Garcinia. They've been green or sunburned all summer, but they haven't pushed any growth. So I moved all of them into the tiny greenhouse. The G. acuminata (sour bacupari), aristata, hombroniana (seashore mangosteen), and small humilis (achacha) and livingstonei (imbe) are all crammed in there now, but are pushing growth. I think it's just not warm enough here in Redondo Beach. But now they're growing, and they might be greenhouse bound the rest of their lives in my care. What's more, is that a curious sprout showed up in my Passiflora macrophylla pot. It looks like a Garcinia, but I have no idea which kind yet. I'll have to wait until it's a little bigger so I can extract it and give it a separate home.

Update: I blogged it. I couldn't stop myself from tugging the seedling to see if it would give up its purchase in the P. macrophylla pot. Since the stem was pretty firm I felt confident I could pull it up, and sure enough it released. Up with the stem came a very large seed and the roots. Relieved, I transplanted the little one (who was white half of its length due to how deep the seed was buried) into its own pot. Then I figured I would figure out what it was. So I went through my pile of discarded plant tags from all of the deceased plants I've accumulated over the years. I found two Garcinia tags that were from the same planting. One read G. brasiliensis and the other G. sp. (Vleerackerii aka Luc's Garcinia)...To the web I went, and the seed for G. brasiliensis matched my short term memory of the recent transplant, but the latter name wasn't to be found (reliably) in seed form. But to confirm my theory, I went back into my own blog and found this post: http://pergolatory.blogspot.com/2016/09/garcinia-galore.html. Which just about seals it. It's one of those two, so both tags will go into the pot for now. I'll have to wait to figure out which one.
