:laugh:

[Gbarce]

This was an interesting shrub.  They said its called indian beads tree

[Gbarce]

Shot of the flowers

[Gbarce]

Dwarf ylang-ylang in flower.

[Gbarce]

Or as Bo Goran Lundquits would say-- "the politically correct name is 'vertically challenged' ylang ylang tree"

[Gbarce]

Bomeliad-- locally called melanodonta rubra but is probably a hybrid.  Does not look like plants in some books i've seen.

Still a beauty nonetheless

[Gbarce]

Another neoregelia hybrid

[Gbarce]

Variegated Philodendron

[Gbarce]

Closer shot of the variegation

[Gbarce]

I can't decide if this variegation is consistent or not.  My initial verdict though is that its not.  A dozen leaves later that variegation could be gone I think.

Here's another leaf

[Gbarce]

A new variety of "Boston Type" ferns

[Gbarce]

Close up of the leaves.  Gets really bushy edges.

[Gbarce]

another angle

[Gbarce]

A good sized copernicia macroglossa.  

The largest I've seen over here in the Philippines.

Not very many Cuban palms in this side of the world.

[Gbarce]

Another favorite of mine-- Brahea Armata.

Again the first time I've seen one here in the Philippines.

Tempting.......... hmmmmmmm

[Gbarce]

Siam Ruby-- looks like its been freshly shipped in from Thailand

[Gbarce]

Cycad that looks like it was freshly shipped in too.

[Gbarce]

Very attractive bluish grey leaflets.

[Gbarce]

Here's a shot of the crown

[Gbarce]

The vendor says that its Cycas Cairnsiana but the color is wrong and teh leaflets are too stringy and numerous.

Can anyone ID?

Still a great looking cycad though.

[Gbarce]

Old Man palm-- very nice!!!

[Gbarce]

Close up of the golden hair

[Gbarce]

Anthuriums-- the cursed plants that brought up the prices of most collecible plants over here  

[Gbarce]

Just as a back grounder several months back there were reports of anthurium superbum being sold for a LOT of money.  I think that kind of pricing even appeared on e-bay with a specimen being bidded at th $3,000 level.

This one is --Anthurium "mickey mouse"

[Gbarce]

So now prices of these plants are really way way up-- as much as 10x up.  I wonder how long it will be until prices normalize.  They were already pricey before this craze started but now its just out of reach of most local hobbyists.

Anthurium Splendidum

[Gbarce]

Anthurium Waroquianum-- they really are beautiful plants though

[Gbarce]

Anthuriun Veitchii-- love those pleated leaves.  THis one looks like a hybrid though.

[Gbarce]

Variegated birds nest fern.  Really nice white  variegation.  I just wonder if the variegation is consistent and if it will  get burned easily?

This one was about $250 for a 3 inch pot sporeling.

[Gbarce]

[Gbarce]

Licuala Mapu!!  These were not on sale though.

[Gbarce]

I noticed variations in the mottling but I will just start another thread on that.

[Gbarce]

The vendor says that this is a new and unnamed Sommieria.

[Gbarce]

I thought sommieria only had simple and bifid leaves???

[Gbarce]

Also had tiny ones but these were still being established like the mapus so they wer not for sale yet either

[Gbarce]

A large Sommieria elegans.

[Gbarce]

Variegated Ponytail "palm"

[Gbarce]

A closer look
