One plant that likes it hot and dry ....Rubber trees. this thing is out of control!
Tropical Plants: Tropical Garden #45
Blue pendelant Ginger blooms every morning ..I really like this plant
Kitty sacked out....I wouldn't think that position was all too comfortable, but he never moved!
banana. One of Waynes that he is "storing"
variegated Philodendrun is doing pretty good.
so is this one..I have to keep tying the leaves up as they get in the way
rubber vine.
I haven't fertilized anything for 2 months
The fern tree has been burning despite the best efforts, but it has grown tall. I stand under the fronds when I step off the deck next to it.
looks like kitty got into your catnip. cute kitty
is that an ornamental banana or actually edible? gorgeous
It's ornamental. I have 6 or 7 different ones, no room...I was surprised they are even blooming as I haven't up sized the pots this year.
Different use for a hanging basket...can you tell I've been deprived..lol
RJ this one here: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=6841877
we have on our buffett look like it and it is over 35 years old we figured out.. we call it BIG BOY.. so it is called Xanadu then?
Really?!
Yes, I think I recall that it was Xanadu...I posted a bunch of stuff for Dave in Hawaii to identify and I'm pretty sure that was the name that came out
Peacock orchid & crocosimia. Not a very good picture.
I found the forum

for Xanadu
Honestly...I've no idea about that Xanadu...every plant looks different to me. I've been to 2 sites plus the PF here, check it out..not 2 of them look the same

It looks more like a Philodendron pinnatifidum or palmleaf philodendron.

RJ, just wait for all those chocolate plants to start blooming the greatest lavender-purple with the almost brown leaves! A show you will have!
Yeah, they need to be more sun tanned...LOL...I have them all over the place!
And I have brown weeds everywhere outside ^_^
Wish rain to all those that haven't gotten it yet. Finally warming up, up here for a little while. Garden's behind as is the tomato's. Planted some potato's and their doing okay so far. My iochroma's coming into bloom. My brug's are lagging but starting to show. My garden's are doing okay. Didn't plant much this year and I'm relying on what I have to perk it up. Mom had a stroke on the 12th so I'm running back and forth between hospital and home. Passion flower is blooming. the Alocasia's are a tad slow to grow this year due to the cooler weather. My colocasia's though are doing well. When I get some pictures, I will post. Probably next month when I can pay my DG's bill :)
yeah. yeah! I have buds on my night blooming cereus. I didn't think I was going to get any this year because it really needs to be repotted!!!
Here's a few blooming now.
Acacia difficilis
Cochlospermum fraseri
Grevillea pteridifolia
And the mango trees are a mass of flowers.
My yard is a mass of tangled messed up wet plants all askew and torn, thanks to the storm and the mini tornado that just blew in my yard... * whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa* *sigh* oh well ...here is a hib I got to see bloom this am before the storm messed everything up.. ( sitting here all wet and sad and helpless since no one cares to go out and help me take inventory of the damages)
I am glad I thought to cut this and vase it before the storm came tonight..
Groovey plants Tropicbreeze!
one of the Crotons
I can't remember the name. it's fast growing.
rjuddharrison, I think that's one of the amaranths.
The Grevillea pteridifolia, Fern-leaf Grevillea, is a fast growing small tree. I think they've produced some cultivars now.
Grevillea pteridifolia is gorgeous!!!
ah! found it
Chenille Plant, Red-Hot Cattail
Acalypha hispida
I'm partial to that Cochlospermum fraseri! how big are the flowers?
The Cochlospermum fraseri flowers are 90mm across. (I just went out in the dark and measured one.)
There's an entry for Grevillea pteridifolia on plantfiles:
http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/74381/
It says "May be a noxious weed or invasive"
I've hundreds of them on my place, but they're a native. Grow in seasonally poorly drained areas and swamps. It's one of the biggest Grevilleas, a small tree. Most grevilleas only get to shrub or large shrub size.
Wow! Nice!!
Some colourful leaves!
Thanks for the picture of the Mango tree!!!
this is a frilly little hibiscus!
wouldn't mind having one of those
candela, that dead Coral tree is very sad . The African TulipTree is a good choice, I saw them blooming on a trip in Belize.
