I'm looking for Pink Sunburst and Stuttgart Canna, and Bird of Paradise, orange (Strelitzia reginae) and white (Strelitzia nicolai).
I have some hard to find Vanilla Perilla Magilla (see picture). They grow in sun or shade. I'm growing a couple indoors, and they're doing fine.
I also have
Elephant Ears:
Black Magic
Black Stem (Fontanesii)
Nancyana
Illustris
Giant Upright (A. macrorrhizos)
California (A.odora)
Dwarf (A. gaganea)
A. Hilo Beauty
Heliconia:
Distans
Arawak
Lady Di
Golden Torch
Andromeda
Have Rare Vanilla Perilla Magilla, Tropicals
I got a S. nicolai as a bonus in a pot of Pitcairneas I bought at a Bromeliad plant sale in San Diego. The seller (who knew it was a nicolai -or is it nicholai?) said it would reach 30'. I was thinking of sending it to my daughter in Orlando but I wonder if such a non-moveable plant can withstand an (admittedly rare but inevitable) Orlando freeze?
Sorry I'm a little off topic.
Dave.
Dave,
I don't know. I actually want Orange BOP, Strelitzia reginae. I know a woman who has some, but she wants the Giant BOP in return.
Let me know if you're interested in trading it.
Steve
Dave,
There are BOP all over the place where I am - they seem to winter well here.
I'm southwest of Orlando, about a 90 minute drive, in zone 9a.
Hope that helps.
Steve
