Placenciarita, yes I think it is anthurium. I got my butter cup from a friend, I am going to try to propagate when it gets bigger. I'll save you a piece but it will be awhile.

Sunshinesw, thank you very much !!

Rita, what is that cool yellow plant. You have the neatest plants!

Rita , please tell me what this one is:

This is Bonnies' place.. Voodoo plants and coleus

I am going to need my ladder to give this corner more things to climb on.. it has been raining lightly all evening.. this corner has everything from impatiens to eveing moonflowers, canna, brugmanisa, Iochroma, hibiscus, morning glorys, sunflowers, cosmos, begonias, I. Batatas, castor beans, dahlias, salvias and gosh alot more..

I got s Pink caladium at Hendersons' Nursery yesterday.. can you see it?

naked ladies are peeking thru the four o clocks and the B&B Salvia.. all these in this area come back every year..

If you didn't participate in the Hypnotic Blooms Hibiscus coop, you missed out. This is what I got: Blueberry Thrills, Cajun Pink, Cajun Orange Delight, Creole Darling, Magic Moment. Here is Robert's website: http://www.atouchofthetropics.net

Got two neos "Yang" from Home Depot.

Beautiful neo!! I want that one!

$13.95 ea and I used my 10% off coupon from the HD Garden Club.

I ordered 6 or 7 tropicals and cajuns to add to my collection.. I keep missing them bloom :P~ Thanks for the link! Here we have to winter them inside..
last blooms of my asiatics of the year.. what a show they put on for me this year..

wow, I didn't realize what a bargain the HD neos were. Look at the price from this seller:

I love Stokes and this is not meant to degrade them. This is just to remind you of the importance of shopping around.

didn't even know what a NEO was until DG LOL ( I thought Neo was a computor program, a really cute one too;)

Gee Vossner, your suppose to post before the coop ...how else would we be able to participate?!

LiliMerci, that plant is a Parrot's beak vine, I found at Zone 9 in Houston. It has been blooming for a few months, it is a keeper.

Joeswife, that plant is a Blue Sky vine. Occasionally I have to trim it out of the Queen Palm.
This is Esperanza, I left a few out for the winter that came back but are not blooming yet. This one overwintered in the GH

vossner, it seems as if as if you had a very good day. I loved the choices that you made in the Hibiscus co-op.
I am jealous of all those Bromeliads you are finding at Home Depot.

Great photos everyone.
Not a very good photo of crocosimia.

Musical note, slow grower for me.

It is a slow grower..! and it hates cold..but the blooms are so cool when they open at night!

With a flash light?

RJ, looks prettier at night.

I want to grow clivias from seed. Surely one of you might know where to buy the seeds for the really pretty bright orange and red ones...........thanks

Sunshinesw, the Musical Note plant is very pretty, and my favorite color, but if it only blooms at nighttime, I will probably miss it. I am in bed before dark.
My crocosimia leaves are brown, either from the sun or spider mites. Thanks for showing yours.

Rj, the cold front is here. I missed the first batch of rain, maybe I will get a second chance.
Hopefully you and phughes got a good gully washer last night.
Flower on a variegated Monstera

gessiegail, sorry, I am no help on the clivia seeds. Hopefully, someone will be able to help.

Begonias

I bought this Plant as a Variegated Weigela, but the plants in the Plant files does not look anything like mine.
Does anyone recognize this plant?

My pond is almost completed. I will have to re-pot the water lilies and other pond plants and give them a little fertilizer. They have been starving for over a year. The jury is still out whether or not, I will put fish back in it again.

Placenciarita, your pond is lovely. Musical note flower during the day.
Nice brom.

Pudica from a friend.

gessiegal, you should post something on Seed Trading forum for your clivia seeds want.

My mom might have this plant. I will have to wait for them to flower first. If they do and can be hand pollinated for seeds, I will let you know.

I will gladly pay for any seed I can find............thanks if it works out to get seed from your mom's plant.............I will keep looking, too.............

Maybe I can learn how to use that seed trading forum..............

If for some reason I forget, post again in a month or so.

Rita love the pond, wish I could have one here.. you need some of these I found in Larence, Kansas at the tropical store ..;D

Thanks...........LiliMerci!

Nice pics everyone...........just love to lurk on this forum to see your awesome photos.

Hello to you all!
