Is it really red or it is kinda orangey???
Tropical Garden # 33
It's yellowish tint of orange and orange throad
here's a close up of the crossvine bloom
Sylvain sent this to me last summer Lycianthes Rantonnetii
I found this, iochroma australe when I googled white iochroma. The PF looks messed up to me. There are some plants w/ white flowers and some w/ blue, unless the plant changes as it matures?
Too bad the flowers on the white do not appear to have the fluted shaped as the blue, red, etc

Rita, very nice photos. I hope my clivia flower for me this year. Last year buds died on me because I moved the pot.
I liked the bell shaped ones though. all those in the PF are the same type, with exception of color
Hey Skaz, I'd have to see the little devil to really be able to tell :) But in a few years you'll be able to know even more :)
Planter,
The sender said it was this one, but this doesn't much look like my plant.
I'll take a pic of it tomorrow, and put it up.

Ok skaz, You have to remember that both Monstera and P. purtusum have varigated forms and until you have mature leaves it is hard to tell they apart. If it grows well you should have mature leaves within about a year or two depending on the size of the plant that you got. :) Do a search on Monstera 'thai Constellation' . That is a newer variety of varigated Monstera.

I have one that is sort of like that picture, although so far it's mostly green
then this one, that's more of a marble varigation
Rj, the blooms on your first crossvine are as big as the Trumpet vines. I have not seen that color before either. I like it.
I have the Lycianthes Rantonnetii (blue potato bush) planted in the ground, they will come back every year, but refuse to bloom.

sunshinesw, thanks, I hope that your Clivia blooms for you this year. I know that they do not like to be divided. It took 3 years for those to bloom after being divided.
I love your Queen's Wreath, I planted a vine last week. Hopefully, I will have blooms to show next spring.
joeswife, that was a very pretty blue morning glory flower. Will you please save some seeds for me for next year.
look what bloomed inside for me.. I planted some lobata seeds from robcorrea.. thanks Rob! love them..
The blooms on this cross vine start out all orange and change to yellow with red throats.
wow.. will have to see if I can find some crossvine around here.. gorgeous!
I know I am on the wrong thread for this but all of my tropicals are still dormant. Wisteria mixed with the cross vine.
With Lady Banksia doin' her thang right next to them, the aroma is intoxicating.
Lou, are those bottles there in that picture hummingbirdfeeders? What is banksia?
Banksia was a botanist I think. Developed these climbing roses for his wife. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than I will explain better.
That is my "bottle tree". I have many plants that cater to the hummers so I don't put out feeders for them.
Wow...that Wisteria!
I bet you have two crossvines in there.
Did you see the pictures on another thread? They are blooming on the chain to the bottle tree today.
I did..looking beautiful...I said that one shot of the Wisteria looks like it's from the treehouse next door.
This is for you Rita...we both like the mixture of foliage and different flowers!
It is. Only vantage point where I could even half get a good glimpse. The above should be printed and hung on the wall. Wonderful.
wow! I love those pictures, all of them, Ilove mixed foilage and blooms.. I can't wait until my wisteria gets that big..
joe, baby, it doesn't take but a year or two. Just don't cut it back. Let it have its way.
Debra, how cute, your first lobata blooms! Just wait till the show starts, you'll love it!
LouC, I love your Lady Banks, how long does it take for it to grow that large? I'm thinking about planting one on my front porch with the Wisteria...
Guarding the brugs...bluejay..I was going to cut the Hawaiin wood rose, but she had other plans...woodrose has grown all over the top of the brugs..so she has the vine canopy over her.
ohhh! I love Bluejays! I found a nest on the floor yesteday, it looked just like this one and now I'm thinking it was a bluejay nest! Too bad it fell off, I didn't see any eggs either...
What a cool picture, RJ. We found a mockingbird nest with egg in it the other day in my big potted ficus tree. We've been waiting for it to hatch.
I've been meaning to write u back Patty...
Yeah, those mocking birds are something else.
Is this a bloom on my BOP?
It's emerging from the bottom left area (which is near top of plan) where that frond use to be.

Beaumontia Murtonnii blooms
Sure looks like a bloom coming to me, rj.
Hap
