Here we go again buying plants

[happypalms]

Another batch of garden goodies again. Even my plant therapist wants to buy a plant from me now, so here we go confessing to what I have purchased this week. A dypsis poiveana, licuala bracteata, iguanura wallichiana, Zamia variegata, anthurium large round velvet from Ecuador, ant plant myrmecodia beccarii, another anthurium podophyllum, 15 draceana goldieana again, monstera deliciosa var borigsiana variegated. That should do for another week or until my next therapists appointment.

Another lovely haul of botanical loot. Now winter is here I can only buy locally or from nurseries further south from me or with similar climates.  That Zamia is rather special and the Iguanura is a good size too. Mine is having it's second winter and it's only a quarter that size.  I did a little acquiring this week myself but can't get the camera to download the photos onto the laptop and will probably have to wait for Chelsea (remember the 6 foot sulker ?) when she comes on the weekend and get her to do it for me. Good luck with the Ant Plant, I could never get them to take for me.

That ant plant I was wondering about, I assume it is somewhat a bit like a succulent? I have no idea about them at all. Iam willing to take the risk on the cold weather imports for the garden, no repotting that’s for sure going into winter. So it’s off to the greenhouse for that little botanical loot and iam off to the therapist for another plant buying therapy session wish me luck as I know it’s a waste of there time trying to cure the plant obsession. The only cure I want is another fix of botanical loot!!

Treat it like an orchid. I can't remember if it is an epiphyte or parasitic but as they are FNQ natives I would wait until spring to put it outside.
