want to see pictures of any foilage with pink in it

I had a friend that had a variegated hoya with pink in the leaves, not just the new growth. I have picked up two different variegated hoya but they are not like that one. I am hoya illiterate ~ don't know the variations, but love them as they love our heat and bloom freely. Yours was beautiful.

podster, nice pinks...

This is my Jewel Orchid. Not the best picture, but it's basically black with pink veining.

And this is my pink variegated Moses in the Cradle.

Actually, this is a more recent (and better) picture:

This is my Hawaiian Ti Plant, which unfortunately isn't doing very well because it doesn't like the flouride that Manchester puts in our tap water. I could probably collect rainwater, but I haven't figured out a way to rig that up yet.

Love those colors!!!

These two are nerve plants. This one has light pink veining:

And this one has dark pink:

Chantell, aren't they great? I love plants with pink and purple in them, can you tell? :) I also have a Pink Princess, but someone already posted a photo. My purple ones are a purple velvet plant and a purple wandering jew. I also like almost black plants., but they're harder to find.

Kelly,
You've definately got a theme going on there!! Very, very nice!! Re your water issue - some of those chemicals will dissapate (sp?) if you leave the lid off for 24 hours. I don't water any of my plants w/straight out of the tap water. Not sure if it helps or not but I do it just to "make sure." :) You oughta try and do a "group shot" of your plants...if I had room - your pics would certainly inspire me to get some of those you've shown us!!!

Hi

Thank you! I can't get a group shot, though, because my regular camera's broken. All I have right now is my cell phone. Besides, I think I have too many to move! :)

I do usually let the water sit for at least 24 hours. I know it works for chlorine, but I'm not sure it works for flouride. .. If it's not the flouride, I don't know what else it is. I don't overwater it, but the bottom leaves are yellowing/browning and dropping off. It's still putting out new leaves like crazy, but from what I understand, it could be the flouride in the water.

ceallachg (kelly) i love your plants! the jewel orchid is a beauty! i got a moses in the cradle kind of like yours at wal-mart a few days ago. here is a picture of it. i think yours has more pink and mine has more purple. i love the pink of yours!!!!!!!!! the nerve plants are very pretty as well! can you propagate the nerve plant from cuttings?

kelly
p.s. weird a kelly talking to a kelly lol.

another shot

Kelly,
I saw those at my Walmart last night and thought of you & Char...LOL

Well I finally got my new plants all potted up and I am so happy with them. I love them all.
I don't know what there names are yet, but I am sure you all will help me out.

The first with the pink and cream & green leaves are beautiful...i love them, got it at lowes, they only had 2 of them left and i snatched the best looking one it was 11.99 and i think it was well worth it, (who cares what hubby thinks). this one does have a name it is stromanthe "triostar" Stromanthe sanguinea.

Isn't she wonderful looking... if i can find a way to propogate her then I will for the houseplant III we are having ;o)

Char

char look at it! it is so pretty! great find : )

kelly

Isn't stromanthe wonderful with all its colors? I think I've had mine 4 years now (Lowe's) and is so root bound that I promised to move it up this year. So far it's still in a 10 inch glazed pot for the last couple of years.

great plant butch! how do you propagate it?

kelly

Here's a pink & green cryptanthus.

and my itty bitty Episcia 'Pink Brocade'

And my begonia 'Midnight Sun'

Thanks, everyone, for posting your 'pink' flowers. They are so beautiful.

laurie i just love 'pink brocade' when it gets big i know who you can send a little slip to ; )lol
your begonia 'midnight sun' is a beauty as well. i have a strawberry begonia but that is the only begonia i have ever had.

kelly

Sure thing Kelly, but keep in mind they want a terrarium environment. =)

oh laurie i will have to admire yours then. i have 1 terrarium with cactus in it but its my only one.

kelly

Kelly I grow all mine out in the open no problem. I got a couple Begonias that have pink in them when they get bigger I'll grow you some little plants too !

Most of you have seen these Rex's but just in case...here's a splash of color for ya!!

Chantell, those are really pretty. I might try some of them sometime...

Ah thank you, FlowrLady...it's my first go around w/begonias - they seem to be fairly easy plants.

Chantell those are so pretty !
I don't have many Begonias a few I've had for years and some I grew from Cuttings Lali gave me.
But I just bought Begonia Bethlehem Star, and B. Strawberry Creme , and B. Edge of Sunset. I had the Vendor pick them out for me as I wanted some with splashes of color/pink . I just got them. Hope they do well !
Kelly not sure if were going to more ~~~ Praying on a deal....
After I find out either way going to buy some Espeicas with pink stolons .. They progate and grow fast here I will grow you some !

Violet...sounds like you're gonna have all kinds of pretties!!!

Thanks ! They are small growing leaf Rhizomatous Begonias Generaly leaves 3 " long ! Says they like extra Humidity which I have here in Florida and grow well in Terrarium which I don't need here. They like my kitchen window shelf there they get nice light and plenty of humidity. I saw Bethlehem Star photo in Plantfiles and fell in love ! Three days later zzlsuray of Salisbury had them at my door :)) I just ordered them Wed June 21 and got them Friday the 23 rd. I'm so excited about them !

allison you are sooooooo kind! i can't believe you got your order already!!! wow was that fast : )

chantell very pretty!!!

I know I love my new plants ! I re-potted them right away and they are all perky and doing really great !
I also ordered a bunch of pink foliage Epsicas . They won't come for a few weeks then I am going to grow you some !
I know you will be enjoying your Aussie Alice and Blue Heaven. They grow fast and will be blooming soon. They like it warm and humid and lots of non burning light and kept moist !

allison i put them in my bathroom window. they will get good light here but not too much. i thought it would be a great place as the humidity is high in our bathroom as we have 5 of us taking baths or showers. do you think they will do okay in there??? they look great right now. i want to do everything just right for them as i am a complete newbie with them : )

kelly

Kelly this is perfect ! I have some on my over the kitchen sink windowshelf my Begonias love it there also. I don't have much room and have an old shelf a neighbor gave us in my garden room in natural light. It get's hot in there and humid even with A/C . Afternoon blinds have to be shut but there grow like weeds. Your's will do great too !

Alice was my first Flame Violet !

Grey Lady has Pink in crown and gets more color with food light and culture. Bob's plant show's a lot of pink !
This plant is again mpre than twice the size of this picture !

sooooooo pretty allison! i think you have helped me find my favorite plant! i just love these episcias!!!! your plants are so large and so healthy : )
