I don't know the positive i.d. of this Passiflora, and it isn't currently blooming, but it did put forth a couple of blooms this spring, it is red and is in my yard:

Bright red stems on Philodendron...oh darn what's its name???? Can't believe I forgot. I want to say quercifolium but I don't think that's correct

Gina, where might I buy an Aphelandra tetragona? That is a beautiful plant!

Gainesville, FL

I know that Logees used to carry it, but I bought mine locally. It was actually at a little family owned grocery store here called Ward's Market that sells plants on their 'porch'.

In the past I have bought several unusual and sort of rare plants there for a very cheap price...philodendrons, bromeliads, alocasias, and some oddballs, like the Aphelandra

Will you get me one if I send you cost plus postage? I know it would have to go into the greenhouse this winter. PLMK

I copied the botanical name for nodding Hibiscus from Floridata.com - guess they don't know what they're talking about!
