this is a mussaenda that is not flowering but the leaves are nice.
this is a medinia that is not flowering but the leaves are nice.
a little ee coming up
one more picture
candela, it is always nice to see your Florida garden. I have had a medinilla for more than 2 yrs. without any blooms. It almost overdosed on superbloom last year.
adenium, first bloom
alocasia Okinawa silver, still very small
Kimarj ~ not all Ruellia ~ Mexican petunias would look good in a hanging basket. This was my first and spills over the edges well. I do not know which one it is. A down side, in a basket, it will have a chance to spray seeds far and wide!
Ruellia Katie is pretty potted when mixed with another spiller...
Very pretty! I will give it a try and see what happens. I f I don't collect the seeds i'm sure old man winter will : } Thanks.

Hi ,Pod. and Kim
Sunshinesw, your adenium collection is totally awesome. I was trying to pick a favorite, but I like them all.
I have just the one plant and it has two very gangly branches. Should I give it a trim, or maybe a little more sun? I really do not know very much about the except that they are cool looking plants.
i didn't realize there were so many different ones.
candelia, I am looking up the 'Mussaenda' that you showed in yesterdays' post. There are so many beautiful flowering tropicals plants out there.
What is the name of the orange flower in your last post?
Mother of thousands
strawberry guava in bloom
Hi Rita, Thank you! I just love those addeniums. I would give a trim. Dry the cuttings a day plant them in a pot, mist until rooted.
Candela, there are a lot more varieties but I just don't want to start collecting because I am doing that with too many plants LOL.

the orange one above is a clerodendrum (speciosum i think). they are nice but they are kind of a weed around here. they send off babies like the shooting star clerodendrums. i am forever digging them up.
i messed up the name in that post it is a medinilla
podster thanks for the name of the mexican petunia i have a cutting from a neighbor. i thought it was some type of ruellia
rita this is the mussaenda. soft fuzzy leaves. this is a cutting from my mother in laws in puerto rico
the red cloak are starting to flower again.
For the Adenium, give them a trim, and put it in full sun all day. It will take off. during the summer, you can water them almost daily to speed their growth along.

sunshinesw, thank you for the help with the adenium. I will wait until my one bloom falls off then trim it. But I will go ahead and put it in the sun now. Maybe next year, I will have more than one bloom.
Chris, I got started on my wall today I will have to buy a few more pots and plants, but so far I am liking it. The hardest part was getting the holes in the brick .
Thank you again for the help with the adenium, hoping for more blooms in the future.
candela, that mussaenda is a beautiful color. It is nice to have a mother-in -law that likes flowers too
Hi guys..
Hmmm...Does red cloak bloom all the time? I kind of thought they bloomed towards fall..I'll have to check mine in front see if they're budding.
Here is a Eryithina x Bidwilli against a banana leaf
I just love mussaendas. Haven't seen in several years. Yours is beautiful!
Candella, can you give me growing tips on the mussaenda, I have a red one and one like you have in the photo.
Shade? water intake simple things...I'd like to put mine in the ground.
Hi Rj, that's a nice interesting picture. It looks like a princess flower in the front and a bougainvellia blooming in the back of your Eryithina Bidwilli. Is the common name "firemans' cap"? If so, I have one,but not in bloom yet. We have been having exceptionally cold nights, which is not good for blooming tropicals, they are taking forever.
Hi gessiegail, Dutchlady1 is right about the mussaenda, I have yet to find a vendor selling them.
Dutchlady1, I really have to confess, I love everything about plumerias. Now if I could only find a orange and a purple.
