Everyone is welcome to share pictures of their Tropical plants and gardens
Tropical Garden #44
I was out taking some pics. and i kept smelling a VERY strong perfume, so the hunt was on. It was the Rangoon creeper. I did'nt know it had perfume as it did not have any last summer. Rita, i got this plant on our first trip to visit RJ.
YEA, 4D4= 4D4!!!!
FLORIDA GlANT EE's FROM THE 2000 T.A.N. show

i just got back from vacation to many surprises in the garden.
this one looks like pink fireworks.
texas big leaves i love the smell of rangoon creepers. i think they smell like green apples to me.
there must be four or five babies in the voodoo lily
naners are getting big
yin or yang i think
bromeliads and a brunfelsia flowering in the front of it with the heat and humidity at night carries the smell all around the yard at night.
my first canna
these gingers smell incredible.
i forget the name of this one.
Great photos everyone!!!
Placenciarita, yes Harry Potter leaves are variegated.

Jerry what do you have your rangoon growing on? Curious to see your creation. I'm always looking for stuff for vines to grow on.
pls, pls tell us the name of the EE with the white streak. I'm in love.
The white-streaked EE is Colocasia 'Nancy's Revenge"
LariAnn
vossner. i have no idea the name. i have a hard enough time remembering friends names. lol.
this is a picture of it a couple of months ago it almost has a pink color in the center and has doubled in size.
thanks lariann
i think these are hilo beauties. these are about the only ones that the name hasn't washed off the name tag
In the first pic the leaves look almost leathery and sort of puckered so I wasn't sure it was NR. The 2nd pic looks more like mine.
I guess the 1st pic just fooled me. thanks.
I just love all these things, uhm, voodo lilly "majically" appeared in my Kansas prenneil flower bed, what am I to do with it? Does it winter over?
Candela, good to see you..love your plants I have lots of baby wisterias..
Rita , no problem, will send u lots of seeds..
Someone posted their I. Carnea mg tree as a tree form by clipping it, next time you clip think of sending one to me:D
I still have a tray of crossandra that needs homes.. "tropic Flame" anyone here want any? Debra
The voodoo lily is a nice surprise - especially if you're not expecting it. Let it grow in the ground and may be dig them out and winterize them if they are not hardy for your zone.
Debra, I'll take a crossandra. looks pretty neat. I've cut 2 white crepe myrtle trying to root for you & Rita. I'll send you a cutting of MG tree too.
Another DGr' has some really nice and grown, these are small so you can grow them ALL year there , right?
Debra, yes I can grow all year.
Here is my red salvia. It is supposed to be Yvonne's Red, but it's very short.
And my Morning Glory vine is just climbing and growing like crazy, but no flower on this one yet. I am anxious to see because I did not label and it's a JMG. I am sure it is not a moonvine.
And my green sweet potato vine is going crazy. The black one is lame.... But I don't know what that tall thing is in my flower pot. I don't want to pull it for fear that it was something I started from seeds. Probably a weed.
Zebrina Mallow. It's so cool how it starts out white and then turns to lavender.
Lili, love that zebra mallow. That tall one looks like weed to me.
I've taken several cuttings off the green one already. They are rooting in another pot.
Dutchlady, Hazy pink is another beauty!! thanks
Texasbigleaves, I can't believe that it has been 9 years since we did that show.
My orange tree made me happy today. I thought that I had only one orange on it, but It has four.
candela, what lovelies you have to welcome you home. The first picture is absolutely beautiful and the yin or yang bromeliad is so different.
Sunshinesw, Hoya Mathilde is another beauty. I like them even more with variegated leaves
Pseudorhipsalis ramulosa from candela
Joeswife, that is a very pretty coneflower. I have a few crossandras already or I would take you up on your offer, they are easy to grow and very colorful plants.
LiliMerci, If you are like me , you are out there every morning, checking that morning glory vine for a bloom. I will definately get a few seeds of the Yvonne Red Salvia. They are supposed to get 5ft. tall.
This ia a crape myrtle Dynamite from Jeri11
I hate it when I miss a bloom and I have to water every other morning if we don't get rain, so I check for flowers anyway. One time I had waited 3 years for the Night Blooming Cereus to bloom and had moved the plant to a spot further out in the yard and completely missed the very first 2 blooms. I was so sad!
Yes, please save me a few seeds. I'm hoping mine will come back next year - taller! We've had some crazy weather this year. Very cool spring. I hope I will see Plumeria blooms this year or I'm ditching them.
hi you guys, we just missed a hail storm golfball to baseball size by a few miles.. I barely got to get my first bloom of Monster white from Joyce(happ) who gave it to Bonnie, who gave me a stick and here it is tonight.. I have a ghost cuz I was shaking so excited..
