White rain lily
Variegated Monstera climbing up in a Plumeria tree.
My new Philodendron Melinonii.
phughes, you might want to put coleus or some other color for when the plumbeagos are not blooming. I have gotten quite a few good ideas from other gardeners' pictures.
In this basket I have a copper leaf plant, sweet potato vine, thunbergia battiscombei, and will replace the yellow firecracker plant that died. it is different, but I like it.
Texasbigleaves, your garden is looking very good, thanks for posting your pictures.
I did not know that the Snowbush blooms, it is very pretty.
My bougainvillias are starting to bloom,but they do not look that healthy. I see that you have your pond up and running, I am still working on mine. I had no idea that the pumps cost so much.
My baby Bridal Bouquet is about to start blooming. Jerry
The bigger the pond and the bigger pump and a big water falls the bigger the $$$$$$$$$$ Luckly the the pond you gave me fits in the only place i had for it. The little pump is about the smallest they make and it cost about $30. Jerry
Coloccasia garden.
Another Coloccasia pic.
RITA or RANDY, First bloom from a plant i got from Zone 9. But do'nt know it's name. I'am not getting better just OLDER~#%^&^%$ Jerry
Another pic. of it.
Texas, your variegated Monstera is a stunner!!!
Thanks. Jerry
Good idea on adding coleus to plumbago pot; I'm a big coleus addict and have a couple of different trailers. Thanks!
Hey Jerry! it is Strophanthus preussii - Poison Arrow Vine .
So is it ____ there yet? it's been here very hard for 30 minutes...of course 20 percent chance...I'm out in the garden on ladders, extention cords..llaaa lalaaa feels good though. I told it to high tail Red Oak way.
Where's mine???? You gotta send some my way remember!!!!!!!
Ohhhhhhhh I'm so jeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalous!!! I - WANT -RAIN - TOO! lol
Randy, The ? in the pic. looks like something i've seen before BUT WHEN? Poison arrow vine? I do'nt remember that name. I wonder if Rita got one? I wish Rita would make a trip down so i could come too. HINT HINT! Jerry
Variegated Philo.
Everytime I read this thread I add another plant to my wish list!
hahaha, me too!
Texas, I love your bouganvillea. I grew up in a tropical region and my grandmother had a humongous vine growing over the side of the house and she had a swing right under it. Whenever I see it, it reminds me of my childhood. I hope I am making those kind of memories for my kids.
Texasbigleaves, Rj is correct with the ID, it is a poison arrow vine. Your garden is doing so good, everything is huge compared to mine. The sun is killing my plants. I might have to limit myself to flowering tropicals, I enjoy them just as much as the aroids
As of now, I will not be able to go to Houston, but my situation might change.
What is wrong with my leaf?
Phughes, can you recommend or show a few good coleus trailers? I am always looking for plants for my hanging baskets, I love them too.
Rj, that was a refreshing picture, wish I knew how to make it a screensaver. It made me feel better about not getting any rain, we did have a overcast afternoon though.
Truetropical77, my Yoda is blooming. How is your Puya doing?
Good morning!
Pink ixora
Lily
Hoya
My neighbor gave me few of these orchids. Her orchids are in bloom.
Look what bloomed last night while I was sleeping.
Where ever did you find a pink ixora? I've only seen the yellow and the melon color and they are pretty predominant here in South Texas. I love your pink one!!!!
This one is Strawberry Drop
And here is my newest trailer that I ordered from Rosy Dawn Coleus; it is Trailing Heart Dark and it looks similar to the previous picture I posted but it is actually more of a plum color than a red to dark pink like the Strawberry Drop is.
Rosy Dawn has several trailers. Take a look to get an idea of some of what's out there. I think it's too late to order from them this year but you can at least see pictures. I actually found a Strawberry Drop this year at my local WM plus I had managed to overwinter a couple of pots of it on the patio which we covered with plastic during the winter months.

Phu, thanks. I got those few years ago at HD. It's been very slow growing.
You guys are going to get me in some serious financial trouble, hehehehe....
