Eclipse, if you don't know, we have no chance.....You are our resident expert....
I've missed seeing your posts, but I imagine you're busy with your tropical garden. How are they coming?
pebble..as you can see the tropical hibiscus are all blooming now..everything is growing quickly now that our Amazon heat wave set in!!LOL
Eclipse, will you post a photo of your blooming garden?
I look forward to seeing all the plants you have.
do hummingbirds like Bugmansias???
I have several huge butterfly bushes and they are pracically living in there. I was standing a foot away from one, he was sitting on a branch resting, I was so close, I could see his teeny tiny feetsies...I got to thinking about what all I could add to help my hummers (or to please them) and wondered if they would like the brugs....
Pebble,I'll post a pic in a few weeks after even more things get blooming,One species of brug..sanquineas are pollinated in the wild by sword billed hummingbirds.Their bills are 9 inches long and curved and they use them to feed on the brugs..they spread the pollen on their heads while they feed.
I have a similar one but I have a problem. It was from a grafted plant which I bought. The buds break off just before a couple of days when it is due to open. The plant is hardly a foot high, the leaves are healthy but slow in growth. It is a lovely flower. I'm sure the links I gave in another post will help you ID this one too.
Eclipse, I went to a nursery that had a huge scizopetalus(sp?) hibiscus. It was the neatest thing. They also had made a standard out of a variegated one. I found a site with lots of hibiscus photos, I'll have to find it again and link it here.
Calalily I have three kinds of the variegated varieties...one grows quickly so I did a 7' tree out of it..but it grows kinda sparce....:-(
