CLOSED: WANTED RICE PAPER TREE
is this what youre talking about?
Yes!!! That is it!!
well i have some babies but you know they are hard to transplant right? i can send you one if you like but iti is up to you? whatcha got to trade?
Feeling rather stupid here.....I've had one in a pot for two years and didn't realize it was hardy! I put it in the garage for winters and am so happy when it survives! LOL Is it really hardy in the ground in 6?? I see that both of your are in 7.
yep mine comes back every year and with babies i love it ,it reminds me of the gunnera so you already have one?
it looks like a castor bean plant!
Yes. I have one. That worries me because I hear they die after they bloom. LOL Funny to have one plant that I will NOT to bloom. A sweet DGer in Florida mailed me this one. I am a nut for plants with big leaves. I'm just trying to figure out how I missed that I could plant it in the ground! It was probably one of those deals where one site said one thing and another something different so I decided not to risk it.
i have had mine for about 5 uyears now and it hasnet bloomed yet
I can't keep one alive, and I so love this plant. Don't know if I'm too skimpy with water, butit just too hot here.
Vossner, mine is in about a 5 gallon pot with Promix. I keep it where it gets morning sun but afternoon shade. I've never done anything special with it except water it when it looked dry. Of course it is fairly humid here so your air temperature could be a lot different.
I hope you realize that when it blooms, the wasps will come for miles. Rice paper must be there favorite bloom!! And it has something on its' stems that irritates skin and eyes. And it is very invasive when planted in the ground.
OK...Now I get to look like or sound like an IDIOT!!! I bought some on ebay last year, and had no idea that is was the Rice Paper plant!!!. I think it is not real happy where I planted it...but the guy I got if from was in Oregon!!!
He told me they grow wild there too!! As a matter of fact, he sent me 12 plants, and I shared with my mom, all my sister in laws, and a few other friends!! LOL
If Dave's has a MOST STUPID award.... I guess I would win , HUH???
Thanks so much anyways MORETZ!!!
My mother plant blooms every year and it has yet to die back. This plant reminds me of a passionflower,Babies sometimes show up across the yard. I dont mind them though. I just pull up the unwanted, dig up some for friends. I have not noticed wasps on this plant when it is blooming. Maybe it is because they are always hanging out at my cannas.
The blooms are a bit unique.
My mommy plant is over five feet tall and is probably three years old.
WOW...I wonder if mine will ever get that big?? Now that it has cooled off, It seems to look alot better.
I have to laugh at your earlier post! We've all done it! LOL
It's so sad when you plant and forget it!! Then later , stumble over it!! LOL
Hey, we all covet the thing we want. Sometimes we forget we have it and still want it. Other times we forget we want it until we see it somewhere else. You must really like that plant and have for some time! LOL
