What fruit is that????
wow, texas, what is that? very cool!
Happy Birthday Rita!!! Sorry I'm late. I had computer trouble yesterday. Hope you had an enjoyable day and got to spend some quality time in your garden.
Wow is that a Dutchman's Pipe Vine? If so that is the biggest I've ever seen!!!
I am lusting, there with the Borneo Giant. Just planted mine and it's only about 8" tall, but it's checked every day, at least once if not more. It will probably be stared to death. Hoping the iguanas don't get it.
Have to take some pix.
Hap
good morning Tropinuts! Sallyg has written a wonderful article about pawpaws. It turns out there are 2 fruits called by this name: papaya and asimina triloba. ck it out. http://davesgarden.com/guides/articles/view/2623/
who grows asimina triloba? Do you ever see this fruit sold at the store? I would like to try it.
planc.
Finally, here are some of my philos. They are from Armando (giancarlo) who has his garden with the angels now. He was a very generous man. There were labels, but they got eaten or whatever, so just enjoy.
Hap
It's hard to see, for everything is green, but this one is the big strapped leaved one.
This is Baby Borneo Giant.
Hap
RJ, Love that clerodendrum indicum.
Great photos everyone.
That thing looks like dutchman's pipe.
Old fashion amaryllis blooming for the second time this year. Hmmm.
White MG bush, just got in trade about a month ago.
It's a Aristolochia Brasilienis ( Dutchmans Pipe Vine )
TexasbigLeaves,
Thank you very much for the birthday wishes, and the beautiful plumeria picture. Is it the Queen Victoria?
Could you please take another picture of the Dutchman's Pipe when they are all open?
The seeds from the Pride of Barbados took two years to bloom, (I have lots of time). Everything in your garden is huge, my Thai Giant is shrinking.
Joeswife, thanks very much for the Birthday song. Yes I am a libra.
Winter is coming way too early for me this year,or is it that I am getting older.
Kimarj, Thanks. the Hawaiian bell vine is growing like a weed, the leaves are so big, hopefully it will bloom before winter.
Aristolochia Gigantea ( Dutchmans Pipe Vine )
vossner,
I have never hard of Asimina Triloba, I will have to go back and read her article on them.
Happy_1
I am guilty of staring a few plants to death myself, especially when I paid too much for them. I enjoyed your garden pictures, it seems as if we like the same plants.(thanks) I do have Giancarlo in my favorites, I would refer to him frequently. Sorry to hear that he died
Sunshinesw, the amayrillis is just as pretty the second time. I did not know that there was a white morning glory bush, very pretty.
What is that green beauty in you post of7104615?
Hap
Placenciarita,
Yes it's a Princess Victoria.
Jerry
EE's
Variegated Alo. Mac.
Which on is the EE?
Hap
Rita, I think that is so polite that you comment on every single post others make in this forum. I try to acknowledge everyone but not nearly as thorough as you are. Thank you so much. We should all follow your example, esp. if somebody asks a question. Makes for a friendlier forum.
Gloriosa Lily
Chilean Potato Vine
Clerodendron Indicum
More c. indicum
Rangoon Creeper I started from last year seed
White & purple beautyberry
happy belated birthday rita.!
gorgeous pictures as always everyone
budgie, how do you care for your beautyberry, especially the white
Happy_1, you must have put a 6 insted of a 8. I think that you are referring to post #7104815, which is an Anthurum Mehani. They are very easy to grow, the new leaves are alway a nice golden brown, the picture did not show it too well.
This is Anthurium Clarinervium, trying to recover from being transplanted
Texasbigleaves, you are really living up to your name, Those are the biggest leaves ever!!!
I will have to get a few of those Hybrids Alocasia x Blue Portora from Lari Ann. I hope that she is still on the marketplace.
Powder Puff tree, blooming sporadically since spring.
vossner, I did read the article on the Pawpaws and think that I will pass on that one. I am trying to find a few Soursop seeds, I know for sure that I love that fruit, plus it makes a very good ice cream.
Thanks for your kind words. Everyone is so polite to me, I try to return the kindness.
budgielover,
Beautiul pictures. Your Clerodendron Indicum is covered in blooms, mine are little buds. I can't wait, this will be the first time blooming since Rj gave me the plant.
I have never seen a white beautyberry before, cool.
candela, thank you, remember to show us that orchid when in bloom.
new Allamanda
The white beauty berry is treated the same way as the purple. Full sun and moderate water when established. My one bush got to 7 ft tall and 6 ft wide or so. It died back some during the winter and I trimmed in back to about 2 ft in early spring. I have just cleaned and dried seeds of both if anyone wants to try some.
Hello everyone! I really enjoy visiting the beautiful gardens that you have.
Some rainy morning pics : )
Opps! wrong pic.... goofing around with affects : )
