Eric the first plant looks like Chamaeranthemum venosum.

thanks Harry.

Here are some more foliage shots

first is Begonia luzonensis, this one puts out many flower clusters and keeps its pinkish color on the leaves.

second is the top half of a vert tank. The Biophytum has completely grown to the top now and is bent over a bit.

third is the same size vert with a Marcgravia sp growing up the wall.

Eric that Marcgravia looks great! Whatever happened to that other little shingler that you had, do you have any new pics of it?

EricM · #**884** (**permalink**) 08-30-2010, 06:37 AM

Josh,

It grows but real slow, I haven't taken any cuttings of it yet, but I'm letting it ramble around. It is Monstera spruceana, the first pic.

the second pic is the bottom part of the tank with the Biophytum, in previous post, this is an unknown Monstera supposedly from Panama.

the third pic is R. celatocaulis/korthalsii growing up the back wall, with a buttload of Pellonia for company

Thought I would share a pic of this interesting little Begonia species. My generous friend gave me a little tuber smaller than a grain of rice. He said it took a year to grow it from a leaf cutting. I've had it for about a year now and it has started to throw a few nice leaves, but the tuber is not much larger than when I received it. I just planted it into a larger container, so hopefully it grows a little faster. I thought I would take this photo and share it, in case it doesn't.

I have a lot of the Lecanopteris sinuosa but it apparently mislabeled as "monkey tail fern" The leaves come out of the rhizomes which grow along the ground. Strange plant! The leaves are about 4 to 6" in size.

Got a picture?

Im totally drooling over that new Begonia. Possibly a close relative or even subspecies of Begonia bogneri?

Manuran · #**889** (**permalink**) 09-10-2010, 10:55 PM

Yes, definitely a close relative to B. bogneri. B. bogneri is a beauty, but I like this new one better. Also, so far it hasn't shown any tendency to go dormant and drop it's leaves. That would be a plus.

My foliage selection might be laughable to you experts, but I am really enjoying it. I don't have any frogs, but this forum has helped me a lot with this drip wall.

There is no real theme other than two basic rules for plant selection.
-is it cheap and easy to find?
-has it survived on my wall?
