Tropical Plants #39

second one with forgetme nots.. I am saving all these for seeds later one, will bag them up and let them dry..

I bet I am the only person with a Phlogacanthus plant on this site>

Griffinia is another rare plant, it is a tropical bulb>

I love Clivia>

The 'yellow' clivia is barely yellow>

Good morning!
Candela, thanks! that voodoo lily is really cool looking.
Pacenciarita, love that red wisteria.
Dale, your Griffinia is just beautiful!!!
I've not seen Phlogacanthus.

Dale, clivia is one of my favorite. I have a huge clivia but I can't get it to flower for me. : (
I hope it flower for me this year.
Rain lillies should put on a show now that we got rain.

I love the Frangipanis too.... :)... love all of the bulbs, but the forget-me-nots are beautiful in the vase...
Brittany

Oh dale I have 10 of those Phlogacanthus plant . . . NOT . . . first time I've heard of it actually. Never heard of a Griffinia. Where you coming up with these rarities my friend? Also first time I've seen a red wisteria; very pretty Rita. This is what I love about DG--so many new plants you learn about from fellow gardeners.

Patty,

I go to the Botanical Garden Plant Sales......and there they are!

Some kind of Tibouchina>

Patty, he won't be the only one after he sends some to us..yeah Dale, it's a survival technique..send plants to other gardeners to ensure it survives in case something goes wrong in your location..uh huh..yep..works really good.

What's in it for me?

I thought that was obvious....the survival of your plant in case something happens to it in your location!! lol

Joeswife, it is nice that you enjoy your flowers indoors as well. As a child it was my job to cut flowers for the house, whenever we had company. I find myself still doing it.
Philo Verrucosum with bloom

DaleTheGardener, I bet you will not be the only one for long, I am now on a mission to find both the Phlogacanthus and the Griffinia. Thanks for introducing us to those beauties.
I have a new leaf, over 3 ft. on the Anthurium Colonicum

Sunshinesw, I have found out from experience that the Clivias do not like to be divided. It took about 2 years for mine to bloom after I shared her with a friend
I am also happy for you that it rained at your house, which means more blooms for you.
I am proud to show my first artichoke.

phughes, I saw your picture of your Cherry Jubilee Allamanda and Morning Glory Bush in all their glory on #38. still no blooms on mine.
Birdnest Anthurium, notice the little butterfly on the blue bloom.

RachelLF, I am curious about your butterfly plant. Can you tell us more about it? All that I found in Plant files is Red Butterfly wing.

Placenciarita, What is the name of that Hibiscus in your last photo? I must have have one like it!! Where did you get it, on your last fishing trip? Jerry

Oh yes,please let me know when you get your plants from the co-op.

Rita, Your fausto anthurium may eat you out of house and home along with the other Anthurium and philodendron that you have posted. I would be in heaven if I could grow them outside here;-) I have to add, beautiful bloom on your philo.

I do not know much at all about this butterfly plant (Cristia obcordata) other than it like's high humidy and warm temp's. Time will tell if it make's here as a houseplant.

Enjoying all the bloom pic's everyone.

Rachel

Rita, I love that artichoke! LOL yummy!

I did not realize I was posting my pictures to the old thread #38; that goes to show you that I am tired and SO READY for school to be out. The troops are getting wild.

rita--what a cool looking plant--Anthurium Colonicum--that's one big leaf

And what?? no cultivar name on the hibiscus--that is a big no no now that Patty has caught you cv addiction--must have name please!!! My hibbies from The Hibiscus Place are due to arrive today!!! Woo Hoo.

RJ the manipulator . . . .nice try!!!! LOL

TGIF!!! Hope everyone has a great day. My morning visitor; ain't he the ugliest thing you've ever seen. Yuck!!!

Patty

texasbigleaves, the Hibiscus is "Devils Eye" from the Hibiscus Place.
I will let you know whenever I get the plants from the Co-op, hopefully soon.
My variegated white bleeding heart from Zone 9

RachelLF, thanks, I only wish that I could leave them out to grow to their full size. In November, I have to cover them up again. Usually, a few will die down to the roots and come back again in the Spring.
Costus woodsonii

Joeswife, thanks, I enjoy growing the artichoke, but I do not like to eat them.
