They are tall but not all that they said LOL
Tropical Plants #43
Lil babies : ) Pink Princess philo..alocasia Kapit ....Brazilian Plume...variegated Clivia and a noid Sansevieria
kimarj, I call that Calico plant but forgotten the botanical name. You have to really keep her cut back in order for her to branch and show wonderful foliage. I cut mine back almost to the soil line every spring and she grows to over 5 feet before the summer is over. She loves morning sun. (Caricature plant is what she is called)
I knew it had another name! It is a stick with a few leaves..if it makes it til spring I will cut it back : ) Thanks for the tip! Yours is beautiful : )
I really wanted you to see that she can be bushy and beautiful..............the tips also root very easily, so root them and add to the pot next summer. They will root in less than two weeks when they have some warmth and humidity.
I just love plants that root easy! : )
Propagation is my favorite part of growing and caricature plants rank easiest to propagate.............
So you must know some good stuff???
Joeswife, you can find the Philo. Pink princess at Logee's. If you do not mind waiting, I can try to root a cutting for you.
gessiegail, thanks. I am worried about the water bill this month, no rain here.
I appreciate the tip on rooting the caricature plant cuttings. I like those plants
Rex Begonia vine
Kimarj, that is a awesome lily picture!!!
I am jealous of your variegated clivia. My alocasia Kapit gave up the ghost too, your's is looking good.
Clerodendrum Pogoda
Sunshinesw, I love all crape myrtles, white is my favorite color. I do have a dwarf red, if you would like cuttings or seeds.
Potootie, that is a nice picture of your Rangoon Creeper. It is my favorite vine.
Bromeliad Alvarez
Rita, I'll save you a cutting of white crepe myrtle too.
Rita I just hope that Clivia stays around to bloom! I did not know there was a vine Begonia I love it
Anyone growing Yvonne's Red Salvia? Mine is short. I was wondering if it will get taller later this summer? It is blooming already.
I would like a cutting of rangoon, I lost mine, but I am good at turning sticks into plants...this was a stick in the basement nursery all winter
Thanks Rita. I love this one too.
I have four colours of crepe myrtle seeds from trees/bushes around here.. I have Yvonnes tall salvia peach and red growing, it is tall .. can you show us a bloom?
Caladium Raspberry Moon.

Good morning Sunshinesw,
Where did you get your " C. Raspberry Moon " I have never seen them before and they are a MUST Have cladium. Thanks. Jerry
I got them locally.
B&B carries them but sold out for the season. I plan to get some as after seeing sunshine's pic, it was instant love.

Thanks, i dont know how i missed them in their catalog. Will have to wait till next year. Jerry
I can't get my rangoon creeper to bloom; I keep telling RJ I'm going to take a machete to it if it doesn't bloom. It is good sized this year, but no blooms. Grrrrrr
Sunshine I love your Rasberry Moon; that is so purty!!!!!
Patty, by all means cut it back some, that's how I get mine to bloom.
Mine was close to dead when I carried it out of the g house. Warm rains
made it lovely and I had already cut it back hard when I didn't have that much of it left to cut on. But it worked. I didn't even bother to feed it. Still got my blooms.
Becky, it is raining today (thank goodness), so I will take picture of the red tomorrow.
phughes.
Try feeding your rangoon creeper Miracle-gro bloom booster. It works on mine. Jerry
my mother dig a smal trench around her plants and sprinkle a little Miracle Grow, then cover back up with some dirt. All her plants bloom beautifully.
This one here:http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=6780435 is gorgeous! Love that Sunshinesw!
heres' my pink for you today
Rita: here is the seed result you sent me
My fourth of July always means an explosion of these..
they look really pretty here in my new flower bed I put in this year
What are those heart shaped leaves to the left of this picture http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=6782810
I had some hanging out of an old pot and I was thinking they are weeds, so I threw them out.
Debra, my Stargazer are in bloom too. I only have one stem though. Will they multiply?
yes maam.. they will multiply, and let them go to seed and plant those, they have seed pods like other lillys do..
that heart shaped leaf is a giant woodland violet, I have them every where, I cut the leaves up in salads, they are first to bloom every spring, I use them for root cooling on other things, I catch the seed pods when I can before they pop open like an impatien and throw seeds out a zillion at a time with a loud snap.
I have 4 kinds, I am looking for yellow ones now..
Today before the swim party, I got to do some cutting for seeds, and here is a few I have bagged up.. there are two other colours of Monarda, not shown here.. I am getting ready to dry and store seeds for when someone wants some..
Pentas are tropicals here in Kansas, I have lots of them.. here is my favorite pink
This is the first time ever for me to grow the castor bean, the datura purple metel, and the spiral ginger.. the canna was an accident, I forgot it was in this pot, but they all seem happy here..
Chalis Vine is happier since I cut back the honey suckle and trellis roses, too bad I had to strip those brugs, *sniff* spidermites.. never heard of them, never had them, and I won't let them come back either.. there is also some datura purple there, as well as some pink petuinias, crinium, bright eyes phlox, I. Obscura, and a plethera of other things..
debra, how do you collect monarda seeds. I want to collect them from my red ones.
Shoot I posted the wrong picture for Rita, I am at work will post at home..
