Flowers and palms

[Walter John]

Here's a throw away photo I just took of a basket of Petunias with my jungle blurring in the background.

These started blooming last night.  They have a wonderful scent.

Hey Ron,

I don't see any palms!!!

Here's a Corypha umbraculifera and a Vireya (tropical rhododendron), which will soon be moved to a better location!

Here's my first experiment at attaching a file.  

The tall, silvery-leaved thing is Heliconia collinsiana, with a shorter Heliconia "Iris red" below (neither is flowering).  There are some palms lurking just outside the picture.

Here is my little urban garden of a with palms and some flowers mixed together.  There is still work to do on it, such as paint and other finishing touches.  The orchids on the wall should start bouncing back soon as well.    A lot of the plants I have collect while out trekking around the forest.

Some flowers and palms in the garden . . .

Hi Al,

I keep asking myself why your garden was not included in the biennial/post biennial tour?!  It should have been.  The place looks stunning from the photos you've posted over the last couple of years.

Hi RLR,

Please put the delete button back onto individual posts.  Above is a perfect example of why it is desperatley needed.

Clusia rosea

Those are great plants Epi.  I planted a hedge of them since I liked them so much!  Im still deciding if I am going to attempt to standardize them into tree-like forms or retain them in hedge-like form.  In my area....Id probably be wise to keep them as hedges....not sure if the periodic cold fronts would treat them well as trees.

Passion flower beautiful vine but what a mess when they get big

Bad Photo, but the fishtail next to the car is 3.5 years old from a 3gl pot. the size is result of power feeding using dead fish ground up and poured into a PVC tube buried near the palms roots. Also planted at the end of my drainfield.
