candela, Do you have any more pictures of your orchids? Thanks, Jerry
Tropical Garden #2
count me in.
i have quite a few new orchids
these two i repotted together thinking they were the same plant
this one is almost a black velvet.
i actually went to an orchid auction a few months ago and got carried away with some vandas
candela, Great pictures of great orchids. Do you grow them in the sun or ? I tried to grow some a long time ago with no luck,but i thinking about it again. Jerry
i would say i have about 20 orchids all inside my screened in pool enclosure. i never had much luck with orchids reblooming until i got on a regular fertilizing schedule. now they are doing great
candela, I love your orchids, but I can't take my eyes off the plants in the background. Here is a dutchmans' pipe vine that I was very proud of this summer.
and my knockout roses

i had a dutchmans pipe but the caterpillars devoured it. i don't have many vines. i have a small queens wreath i am babying. i had passifloras, rangoon creeper (loved),at my first house. i have lots of begonias and bromeliads (my favorites).
Placenciarita, Well it's about time you showed up! What is the name of my varig. plant that ARIEL73 asked about? The one on right. Jerry
is it some type of varigated agave?
candela, YEA! That's it. " Varigated False Agave ' I found the tag that it came with. Thanks, Jerry
I have quite a few very small bromeliads. I would buy them in bloom for the house, then plant them outside after flowering. I like their foliage as well.
what about the varigated on on the bottom left. bouganvilla?
Texasbigleaves, I was looking it up. My new years resolution is to learn the names of my plants.
purple datura
candela, Yes it's a vargiegated Boug. White flower. I have about 10 Bougs. most vargi. Jerry
I bagged some papaya seeds for you..alls I need is your address.
Rj
Placenciarita, Good luck learning the names! She must have a THOUSAND plants, it's no joke she does! Jerry
candela, I have never see a bloom that big on a bromeliad before. You have the perfect jungle.
philo mamei
candela and everyone, The date for BIG EAR FEST is in MAY !!!!! NOT in march like said a few threads back. Sorry about that OLD age has got me!!!!! Well that's what Placenciarita keeps telling me! HA-HA, thats because she's a young lady. Jerry
Rj , I hope that I am included , will d- mail with address.thank you
Placenciarita, Is that a new pic. of your MAMEI. Jerry
Texasbigleaves, maybe 20 yrs ago, goodnight.
texasbigleaves , yes it is a new picture of my mamei.
We are going to have to start TROPICAL GARDEN # 3 as fast as # 2 is filling up,isn't GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jerry
Placenciarita, Hanging basket " anth.KING or anth. Queen " ? Jerry
Yes...actually that was for you.....!
Rj, thank you , I also have a triple trunk papaya. I pinch the head off deliberately to stunt grouth, they grow too tall for a 5'2'' person to pick fruit.
LOL..that's too funny....I do the same with brugs to get them to Y. When I told the folks on the brug forum, there was an audible gasp...no one had heard of that before..
that hanging basket is gorgeous what is the yellow? the orange looks like it could be mini poinciana?
i like the tropical look of papaya but not real keen on the taste.
the philos and anthuriums are gorgeous as well keep the photos coming.
i went out this morning to check out the damage from the cold. my sancheza got pretty beat up
the clerodendrum are all flowering though. i have never these they must be 18ft. tall.
That is the only one I haven't had success with in blooming so far...They are so cool, I started collecting everyone I could get my hands on! I put them in my diary, and said..I don't think there is such a thing as a small clero! They do get giant!

great diary wow i didn't realize there were so manyclerodendrums. i only have the speciosum,pagota, and the one above i think it is called shooting star.
is that the white ones? hmm...I don't think I have that one! isn't it cool how completely different they all are from one another?
the ginger (i think doc moy) has yet to flower. the odorata are just flowering. check out the leaves on this begonia pomponii
Reminds me to get in there and check the water in my begonias - I want leaves like that one day!
candela, The yellow vine is a nong nooch vine. Your sancheza does not look too bad, it will perk up in a couple of days. I did not know that they bloom, thought that I saw orange blooms on yours.
I have never seen a begonia leaf so big, I am impressed that you know all the names to your plants.
The bloom above is a Dr. Moy ginger.
variegated Wentii
