An interesting medenilla sp. the leaves are stiff and velvety and the undersides are a rich bronze. The flowers are pretty showy too.

It looks like a ficus damaropsis but something tells me it isn't. Shouldn't it be puffier in between the leaf veins?

Quite overwhelming, Gene! These displays are like massive flower arrangements, pure fantasy for gardeners, and so inspiring. Keep posting, I love it!

Those perforated ceramic orbs in post #14 mix well with the succulents, very unusual. I'd like to have a bold tree to decorate with bromeliads and other plants like in post #12. Awesome!

[Gbarce]

glad you like them Kim. The Neoregelia bromeliads are particularly impressive in the displays.

As for more pictures-- I can't seem to add any more. I tried posting a few more with lots of pictures but it doesn't push through.

Maybe I reached my maximum? Technical glitch it seems.

I need to figure this out.

[dimitris]

wow!!! Great pictures !!! I love the bromeliads , makes me !!!

[Bill Austin]

WOW ! Gene thanks for the great photos it's 6 a.m. here what a nice way to start my day. THANKS

[MattyB]

oh my! What beautiful plants!

The Ficus in #6 is F. dammaropsis. They only get that pleated, puffy, ruffled leaf look when grown in full sun here. If they're grown in shade they remain flat.

[paulgila]

awesome stuff,thanks for posting gene.

when i click on the pix all i get is a black screen. anyone else having the same trouble?

[aussiearoids]

Gen , Philo in #7 is callosum .. if not rough rugose [ though looks so ] is a var. of it .both are creepers not climbers . Superb displays thanks for posting..

[Patricia-CR]

I can hardly breathe!

[Gbarce]

dimitris - I suggest you get a mop then. Yup there were a lot of drool worthy plants. I am particularly interested in the Ficus Damaropsis but out it costs too much for now.
Bill Austin - well thatl how I feel too when you put a post of your perfectly grown palms.
Matty - Thanks for that information. I am really tempted to pick up one of those.
ARI - Yup more to come. I don't really maintain a facebook account the way normal people do-- I just use it to keep tabs on some tenants.
Palm crazy - if you like variegated palms theny your mind will be blown in the next few posts.
Paulgila - Yeah I was having trouble posting for a while and things were generally slow for about an hour.
Aussiearoids - Thanks for that ID.
Patricia CR - oh well you better sit down for the next few posts.
