Look at this plant Patty!

You funny!!!!! I'm glad my students weren't in my room when I opened this thread cause they would have thought I was crazy as loud as I laughed when I saw your picture.

I'm going to grow a few of those just for you!!!!!

Placenciarita, YEA,. HAPPY 40th. And happily lots to come.
Your best bud, Jerry

Hey Jerry

Happy 40th what for Rita????? What cultivar of hibbie is that in your picture? Thanks to Rita I have caught the hibbie bug. I bought two when she was down here in Rockport, went back and bought another when she posted a picture of what she bought down here, and just recently ordered and received 5 for my Mother's day present. I am currently working on an order to Tried and True Hibiscus. Yeah I'd say I've got it bad

Begonia imperialis

Ric Rac is very unusual looking.

NO SOUP FOR YOU! Jerry..announcing a girls BD age....tsk tsk.


Happy Birthday Rita!, I didn't realize I was a whole decade older..dang!

Are you sure it's Rita's birthday? She's not listed under the birthdays and Rita is not 40 this year but I'll never tell her age!!!!!! I was thinking maybe anniversary.

Is it the big 50 this year for you, RJ????

Yes, in a couple sundays

phughes, thank you, you are a good and sweet friend. put your machete away.
I am hopeing to see blooms from your new hibiscus plants soon.

NO NO, RITA will only be 39 on her next BDAY Sept.24th.
The BIG YEA is for the 40th. Tropical Plant ForumThread, as she thought it would ever get to #25. SO a BIGGER YEA to Placenciarita!!

Rj, I read your blog. I too, like your phrase "garden pilot". My auto pilot always takes me to my tropical garden area, leaving the other flower beds unkempt.
I am 8 yrs. older than you are.
First flower on my new Plumeria Cooktown Sunset, is a keeper.

Texasbigleaves, Thanks. I assume you were refering to the number of threads started, and not my age. Unlike Rj at 39, I could never pass for 40 years old.
Are those your Borneo Giants in the black pots? Your garden looks like a jungle already. Mine are only about a foot tall, but I am happy that they did not rot over winter.
Philo. Gigantea variegata

DaleTheGardener, I like that Ric Rac. Are those spent bloom or are those buds fixing to bloom?
Ixora

Rita,

Those are unopened flowers.

Open flower>

Nice plumie Rita!!

nice Ixora...see I thought you would pass anyday for under 40.
I might be up there this weekend..sorting stuff out now to see if it's reasonable between all the goins on.

nice plumie


thank god the stench only lasted a day or two on this

i forget the name of this one

it has poured for three or four days now. we desperately needed it. so did the royal poinciana/flamboyan.

rita here is the clerodendrum pagoda

these bromeliads have been flowering for a few months it seems

this is a cane begonia growning up in a philo

I didn't know ric rac have flowers. I have never seen it on mine, but it's a young plant yet. I didn't get flowers on my night blooming cereus for 3 years from cuttings.

candela it's a Stapelia

I had those bromeliads too I think, but why aren't they blooming?

I found this Martha Washington Geranium yesterday. It looks like pansies.

And my Coleus Kong. A single leaf is as big as your hand!

Blue Mammoth Hosta with flowers on it. May be I will have seed pod soon.

Placenciarita, love that day lillies & plumeria.
Dale, my ric rac is not flowering yet but I think mine is a bit smaller.
Candela, nice broms.

Philo & Bougy.

These are not tropical plants, but, they will grow in the tropics>

Rita is it really your BD? happy tenth anniversary of your 30th BD.

Rita, Happy Birthday!
