Hi, I have something to add, it's my Dictyosperma album with new red leaf and below the reddish leaves of the Flacourtia sp. (Cape Plum).

Al,

I love your Warszewiczia coccinea. I have been wanting one for a while and it doesn't look like I am going to get one any time soon :crying: . I guess it is a bit like amherstia. It is testing my patient!!! BTW, is that muccuna or red jade vine?

Regards, Ari :)

Yes Ari, that is the Red Jade Vine (Mucuna novoguineensis). It is a vigorous vine and has grown way up high into a tree. Here's another pic of the flowers.

I have tried to grow mucuna twice now... but I lost both because I pruned it!! It didn't respond well to pruning at all. So, I decided not to grow it. I don't mind vines as long as I can control it. They are surely nice though...

Al in Kona - the Neo. Fire ball looks great as a ground cover!!

That red jade vine is gorgeous --I have one too and its about 7 year old now but has never flowered. I think it likes more temperate conditions.

Hmmmm what could I be doing wrong with my red jade vine. It is producing leaves very vigorously and the stem/trunk is maybe 2 inches across already.

Anyway here is a red hibiscus with yellow border

Aloha Angela – red is my favorite color - Mahalo for starting this Off-forum topic, and to you and others for posting the great “fotos rojos”. Those vivid reds certainly add a lot of color to the gardens up there in the Kaloko Mauka cloud forest.

Nice Al. Those bracts on the Warszewiczia are about as red as you can get.

This is the reddest these Brom centres have ever been for some reason. Thought I'd show them off.
