Tropical Garden #7

OK, let's continue here.

We came from here: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/821703/#top

Hi
Not sure if you need ID but just in case this is Strobilanthes dyerianus from Myanmiar, it does very well in part shade in the garden (I am on Reunion island, right on Capricorn tropic), I add a pic with a chameleo which visit the garden every once in a while as we are on the edge of a ravine with lots of wildlife in.

Thanks for your post JJ,

it's not every day one speaks to someone from Reunion. I only knew of the place from my stamp collecting days. I now checked it out and see that you have real and dangerous mosquito problems there but it must be a real tropical paradise otherwise. Thanks for the ID.

Love the chameleon! Our lizards are abundant, but much more boring in color.

Randy I have a statue just like yours in re-designed Brug bed. Can you tell me anything about it?

jj
that is an incredible picture. he is so cute.

does anyone have any orchids like this? they have had these stems for at over 2 months and have not opened is that normal or am i just being impatient.

this is my new ee i couldn't resist yesterday

Beautiful candela! I bought one like that last summer, and it seems to take more moisture than the other varieties I have.

candela that pic makes me long for warm weather :)
beautiful ee!

Rj , it is quite amazing how healthy your plants look this early in the spring. I enjoyed all your pictures. Mikes' garden is very impressive too, the bamboos and palms are so big. Fredrumps' garden is what we all dream of when planting one of our walmart finds. Very impressive pictures.
candela love your new alocasia, here is my new plant.

is that a tree fern? nice. i have all your cuttings ready for sending out tommorrow am.

thanks candela, I have been working very hard making a new flower bed. It is about 2ft. high, filled with superblend compost mix, mulched oak leaves, cow manure, peat moss and landscapers mix. I hope it works for good drainage.
The plant is a Silver lady tree fern.

The mangos started early this season. This is mango 'Carrie':

The largest mango on the tree came from blooms that appeared uncharacteristically early in December.

I enjoy growing these old garden roses. This is Archduke Charles:

The yellow leaves are from the cold weather we had a few weeks ago. This is Dombeya X Seminole:

Assorted plants in pots. However, the Sanchezia nobilis is in the ground:

Rose Cramoisi superieur:

Scutellaria longifolia growing at the base of Plumeria 'Candy Stripe":

Begonia 'Palomar Prince'. It survived Hurricane Wilma and is growing nicely now.

Unknown begonia. I started this from a cutting and it is doing quite well now. I lost the other cuttings but this one survived and is thriving!

Alocasia macrorrhiza alba 'variegata':

Pavonia bahamensis. The flowers are waiting for hummingbirds.

Meyer Improved Lemon. This is the first fruit since Hurricane Wilma battered this small plant:

There are many more plants but this will be the last post before signing off. Brugmansia 'Versicolor Peach':

i got this at a local nursery

this too.

delecie, thanks for sharing your wonderful pictures with us, your plants are absolutely beautiful. I am now looking up Dombeya X Seminole (tropical rose hydrangea). All of my tropicals are still in the greenhouse.
