The first four are some commonly available Calatheas bought in Virginia at a neighborhood garden center. After inspection, we transported them to our farm in the mountains of Puerto Rico where they grow well and flower in shade to partial shade. The last is a flower of one of the lovely ones already on our farm. I'd like to see more examples of this genus. Please add your photos and comments on how you grow them. I'd like to try Calathea warscewiczii if anyone knows a source. Thanks!

These plants are fascinating with their showy patterrned leaves. I have only planted a few so far, kind of experimenting with what works. I can't give any advice, but I'm happy to see them discussed here. They are a great addition to the palm garden.
