Tropical Garden #37
Lovely flower RJ! Ii wish i could post sme tropicals, let me see if i can dig some from my indoor jungle!
CLIVIA!
Rachel I love your orchid, isn't it??
Lady Margaret Passi!
You know i never have luck with orchids, so I stopped buying them. then my good friends say they bloom like crazy with them............i just give up!
Lovely plummie dutchlady!
Another passi blooming indoors, no id. This one has not stopped blooming all summer, fall or winter!
I started a Passiflora McCain from seeds. I'm curious to see if it's going to flower this year.
The cleome is pretty Patty!
This guy had a prolonged blooming season this year. It's never put out so many successive flowers, but I fear these are the last two.
I'm glad you like em, RJ. I planted a few cherry cleome this year and I'm hoping they are coming up but it may be more purple. They will reseed like crazy. I made the mistake of tossing the old plant in the compost pile two years ago when I grew them for the first time. Very big mistake. Now I've got them coming up under allamandas and brugs, etc. There are easy to distinguish and pull up, but still, I should have known better.
If there are any extra seeds from the cleome, I would gladly send you postage for a few. Grew them 50 years ago.
Thanks
Hap
Let me check Hap. I think I have some of the cherry left and I should have some purple before too long. I got rid of my old seeds from last year a few months back, but I think I still have some of the cherry. Be glad to send em to you. Are you in the exchange? If not dmail me your address.
You know me...I'll let them grow like weeds
Rj, thank you for starting the new thread. The pink Jatropha is another one I regret not buying at Caldwell's. I have a little red one that is showing a few blooms.
Did you check the bud on your white bird of paradise lately?
Beautiful flowers everyone. This is SunnyDaze Paraguay nightshade. I copied it from the tag.
Clemen, your passies are lovely, I especially like the color of the last one.
Brug. Daydream
Dwarf Apricot Oleander
new hibiscus
Lavender Blush
Drooling here guys with all of your blooms! Rita, daydreams is so lovely! I hope the tiny cutting I have blooms, or did I loose it already?? Need to check!
Rita
Where did you buy the Lavendar Blush?? At Bloomers in Rockport??? That is so pretty and I was just thinking I wanted a purple one. Could get rid of that shooting star that looks so pitiful by my yellow allamanda, and put a Lavendar Blush in its place. What do you think?
Brugs in full bloom.

Oooops!
Morning Glory Bush.
Rj, thanks for the lovely tour of Bob and Carol's home and garden. They have what most of us are dreaming of .
I am familiar with all the fruits mentioned, except for hearts of palm. I will have find some.
Clemen, thanks, that was the first bloom this spring for daydreams. I hope that yours is doing well. If not, you know where you can find another.
phughes, I did get the Lavender Blush at Bloomers. A purple Hibiscus would look good next to your yellow allamanda.
I am now looking for a cultivars suitable for hanging baskets.
sunshinesw, that is a glorious picture. I wish I could leave my Croton and Brugs. out all year.
At least I can see what mine are supposed to look like, through your pictures.
Thanks.
Philo. Giganteum
OMG more pretty things blooming for you guys, I better not look in here anymore until i get blooms, lol. congrats all.
Thank you Rita, i am hoping mine makes it!
Great pictures... the picture of that hibiscus is ridiculous... everything is beautiful...
Brittany
FrangipaniAz, I appreciate your comment, and would like to apologize for my ridiculous hibiscus picture. As soon as I can figure how to take it off, I will.
I am glad that you enjoyed the other pictures, please come back and share pictures of your plants and garden with us.
Gorgeous blooms everyone.
Clemen, I am trying to get my clivias to bloom this year maybe I get lucky??
RJ, the Blossom peacock amaryllis is supposed to be fragrant. Very pretty!
Rita, Lavander blush is gorgeous!
My camera is broken so I won't be able to post photos until I get it back.

I took a few pictures after I got done piddling in the garden today.
Look Rj--the yellow is starting to appear. I talked to the guy at the hibbie nursery today (when I went to pick up a Lavendar Blush thanks to my dear friend Rita who has finally made me a tropical hibiscus convert) and he told me that the yellow on pink lemonade would become more pronounced as it got hotter. I came home and found this bloom. I like it better than the first one I showed you.
The flowers on the purple porterweed are not as big as they usually are, but they have already started attracting hummingbirds. I just love to watch the little hummers come up and get a taste.
I had to look at the tag cause I couldn't remember what this was called.
It says double red althea (hibiscus syriacus).
Yellow brug

I picked this fuchsia up at Caldwell's in Houston for $1. I've never had much luck with fuchsia, but this one is the best $1 I've ever spent on a plant. Wish I would have bought more than two.
Last one; lantana NOID; can't remember the cultivar.
