'Tis the season--What have you got blooming?

[Dendro Dave]

When I get new batteries for the camera I'll post better pics, maybe I'll have mor stuff blooming by then. Its a new viv so while they seem to be doing well now, in theory same thing could happen to me. Hopefully not

Not a viv plant and I don't know how common these are in other parts of the country, but you don't see them much in So Cal.
Hibiscus coccineus

Phil, nice picture--it's hard to get the "right angle" on that flower. That Hibiscus is native to FL, but you'd be amazed at how many people have never seen one (or for that matter think that the foliage looks like another plant...).

Thanks,

Yeah, It is growing in an area not too far from the street. I was afraid that the local kids might harvest it before it flowered.

Here is a better pic of Sinningia White Sprite and Sinningia High Voltage. I knocked one of the white sprite flowers off though messing with the viv.

Colors on my screen look pretty accurate compared to real life for these 2.

This has probably been on here before, but this is Begonia 'Buttercup'. Nice large flower with cool quilted foliage. This one is in a vivarium.

This guy grows year 'round outside, hanging under an avocado tree. I love that all the flowers open at once, they feel like wax lips and it smells great.

LC. Purple Cascade 'Fragrance Princess'

Huge, lovely, stinky Bulbophyllum carunculatum. I think it smells like wet latex paint.
