my variegated Crown of Thorns
I'm also bored...How about a var. Part II?
I love the var. plants too. You guys have some beauties. I can not post the photos since the freeze got them dormant now but I have:
Var Turk's cap
Var. brugmansia
Var. ginger
Var. spiral ginger
Var. topical hibiscus
Keep the photos coming.

hey dale what is the sillvery looking plant in 2nd pic?
Vossner,
It is Helichrysum http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/54990/ it might grow for you, if you can find it. It is widely grown here, in the winter, suffers in the summer humidity and it is easy to kill if it gets overwatered. It is not easy to propagate, I haven't seen it root as it grows. I just buy a plant when I need one.
first of all, RANDY, that is it! I know where you live and coming to get that banana. I can't sleep at night thinking about how I want one just like it, or it
Dale, now I remember. I have it too, but made the terrible mistake of using it as plumeria underplanting. Have just about killed it since watering plumeria trumps keeping helic. happy. Yours looks fabulous with both ipomea.

Thanks, I really like it a lot.
I've had it a number of years.

this is another var. monstera plant, which is also inground, to the left of the one pictured above. They were supposed to be the same plant, but the variegation pattern is so distinctly different, that I'm not so sure. I hope these babies become house eating monsters, I wouldn't mind that one bit.
I also have one growing as a houseplant and that one is definitely overgrown. I am thinking about transplanting outdoors. Dunno yet.
f4f, is yours protected? mine looks pretty ratty right now. it is planted inground.
Hello Neri! Yes, this is a new plant. Yes, I put it in the garage for our 2 cold snaps. BUT, don't make me confess that the worst we had at this property (compared to where I work and many other places/nurseries in SoFla) was 34, and I have seedlings outside that aren't variegated as well as a mature vine (also not variegated) that didn't miss a beat.
Here is a cactus. Don't have a handy ID for this one.
f4f, I think you got that cactus from me? I don't know what it's called either but it's growing like a weed at the moment.
I love the variegated monsteras. I have one that has been struggling for about a year, but seems finally to be getting established; I'll take a picture tomorrow.
Here is my variegated Agave attenuata.
