Flowers 2020

I was wondering! Maybe I’ll try an air layer, I actually have 3 in my yard all over 10 feet tall.

Theyre weedy and root quickly, so a layer would be a good idea. So long as it has interest

Some smaller phal in the 7 gal paludarium, will probably end up taking it out when I get my hands on some micro orchid spp but it does the job for now

They really take over. I have a few that I almost dig out every year because they crowd out my roses. But then they bloom and I let them be.

Some of these Serissa flowers have 6 petals and some have 5.

Two more rookies for a Monday Daily Double!
Waiting for the last couple to put out some flowers... may have to wait a year.
Cheers

Hibiscus Hamabo on clearance - can't wait for the rest of the flower buds to pop!

(Also if someone could confirm whether these are poisonous to dogs/cats that'd be great - I think they are? If so will be keeping it out of reach!)

to the best of my knowledge, NONE of the hibiscus are poisonous. Only a few hibiscus are edible, but none are poisonous. Pets might experience indigestion if they consume hibiscus leaves, but that is due to the coarse fiber in the leaves, not toxic at all.

Orchid- Psychopsis Mendenhall 'Hildos', an orchid with long lived flower stems, a flowering stem will open a new bloom every 6 weeks or so. Each flower will last a couple weeks. The flowering stem will continue to grow and flower continuously for 6 or more years at a time. Each stem tends to only have one flower open at a time.

Happy Friday! The Turtleheads have bloomed! (A truly interesting Scrophulariaceae... but aren’t they all kinda weird)

Hmmmm... that's odd, mine only begins to flower later this month with fruit for marmalade in late Jan. My lime has been in bloom for a month or so and has set several clusters of fruit.

Yeah I was surprised too! Came from a local garden centre, would it be to do with where it was stored/came from previously?
