Seeing as no one else has done it I'll start off a new thread with a bit of a medley of plants.
There's Alocasia watsoniana, Monstera deliciosa, Anchomanes difformis, Pandanus dubius, a Ficus which I think is F. virens, and the fern I don't know.
Have been really busy of late so although I took the occasional quick look I never did much posting.
This motley leafed Dracaena filled the whole garden with a sweet smell at night. Very much like Hoya australis, the same 'talc' scent but a touch less sweet. During the day the flowers were withered but evenings new flowers opened.
Some tree-growing Broms (Neoregalia) for Rita. They're on a Swamp Mahogany which is in the process of being 'strangled' by a Ficus benjamina. Never plant a tree you want long term near a Ficus, or vice versa.
Hopefully my purple flowering banana will produce a flower soon. It's got a pup coming up beside it so it must be time soon. This one has an upright flower, unlike most other bananas.
My new Colocasia esculenta 'Illustris". It'll have to go into a new position, it just doesn't like a lot of sun.
Hippeastrum papilio isn't showing any signs of dormancy yet. I've been waiting a long time for it to flower.
I like the way Vanilla orchids go up trees in that zig-zag pattern. But putting them in a palm tree means you don't get to see any flowers.
This one went a bit wobbly on the way up. Maybe I should have breath-tested it before letting it go ;O)
The Alocasia reginula has been flowering away madly for a while now. There's been no seed setting, and I haven't tried anything manual.
Alocasia melo is flowering as well, but it seems a bit slower than reginula.
This is all there's left of the huge Philodendron that got hit by lightning along with the Coconut palm it was climbing. Five Coconuts are now dead from that, these were small shoots on the Philo that 'fell off' with the lightning strike and apparently avoided electrocution. They're taking a while to recover but they soon won't have any palm there to climb.
A couple of Anchomanes difformis still in pots. At the back are a couple of Chambeyronia seedlings. The two large trunks are Carpentaria acuminata.
Philodendron bipinnatifidum, frilly-leaf variety.
Around the back and out of view most of the time, Pandanus dubius, Coconut Palm, trunks of Carpentaria acuminata, a Yellow Oleander, and a Pothos showing a few leaves.
Phoenix roebelenii
Reflections in my dam.
Back yard sunset last night.
Not at my place (around where I work) but I thought these look really nice, Salmon Gum.
very nice Tropic. Now are the neos atttached to the tree?
tropicbreeze, Great Show, thanks for starting the new thread! I thought that it might be Autumn in Australia, therefore nothing would be blooming.
I am jealous of your vanilla vine, unfortunately mine died.
I wish that I had a nice big mahogany tree like yours to attach my Bromeliads to. I am planning a hike in the Texas Hill Country to find a good substitute, maybe a mesquite tree for my Brom. project.
Golden shrimp plants, showing a few blooms. It seems as if those Queen Emmas are in every picture. I like them!
Honeysuckle in all it's glory. The hummers just love it.
Colocasia Thai Giant, getting a much needed breath of fresh air. Hopefully it will get twice as big as it did last year. I might even have to get it's own Hoop House. lol
backyard, Nealy Wild Roses with those noid yellow flowers. I usually lay black plastic in my walkways and cover with leaves and grass clippings. After a few years, I have good potting soil, that is why the plastic is showing. I just potted up a few bulbs in that pot on the birdbath. I wish that I had seen it before attaching the picture.
I enjoyed the tour from your gardens again Tropic and what a lovely sunset to view.
Rita, thanks for letting me know about that ebay seller and I bet your C. Thailand giant will get huge for you.
Here are a few pictures from the Climatron at the Missouri Botanical Gardens.
A gorgeous Medinilla in bloom.
RachelLF, Thanks!!
Those are fascinating photographs, the last picture is one I desire. Did you get the name of that one?
I like the new leaves on the Anthurium plants.
