Vizz thanks!
And ditto to the above posts regarding no good plants at HD! Even if ours did get good plants the employees would kill them. Mine just recently moved all the houseplants/tropicals outside to make room for lawn tractors!
Tacca nivea (bat lily )
Probably put them in full sun too. :-)))))
You know folks, this post is already 161 threads, and is bothering me because I receive a notice everytime you post another. thread
Please make another thread of your own.
Appreciate it
Armando.
Armando if you no longer wish to rec've notice of new posts you can "unwatch" the thread.
Thats a lovely Bat plant i have tried from seeds couple times no luck.. i still want to try it again. they are so lovely..
Hope I have heard it's tricky from seed- a few links that have posted here have the plants for sale, a little more than most plants I buy but might be worth it. A few places have it for sale.
aprilw., yes it is know that but could never afford a plant.. if to long start another thread is solution i think.. i do not know how though but maybe unwatch would stop you getting notices. since bothering him can anyone do that start new thread just for us about Bat plants then so as not to worry him?? i don't know how it is done..oh dear ....Tulsa sure never gets good plants any where like everyone says they find..oh off subject sorry.. but never have no Bat plants for sure..
Per your request here is a link to a new thread so that any further discussion of bat flowers can continue. Please feel free to continue to post pictures of your new plants, new buds, flowers, etc. and give us advise on growing!

Here is close up of mine
Beautiful!
it is beautiful.. i'm drooling now..
Ok I was going to go out Saturday and buy one locally, even if I had to pay $40.00- yep that was the price, but I figured no shipping, I could have it right now, probably worth it....but wait, the nursery that I know has them- because it's on their web site w/ the price- is closed from 10/21/06 until 11/01/06! I was gathering up my glasses (should have had them on to begin w/), my purse, where are my keys, double check the web site for directions and then there it was across the top of the screen: Closed 10/21/06 though 10/31/06!
Well as Bette Midler said in Hocus Pocus, "Dxxn, Dxxn, DOUBLE DXXN!!!"
Don't know if they will have them when they re-open because I don't really know if they had them when they closed down- who closes a nursey the last of October?!
