showpiece for the greenhouse?

Wow!!
Your Tacca chantrieri is stunning. Very "avant garde" indeed. However, it send shivers down my back - it looks rather sinister?

 

Thanks Lolimac and Jenny!
Quite a few people have said that about the Tacca!

 

A dark blue clone of Plumbago Capensis, which I was very pleased with last year - flowered profusely.

When I get time to order them <sigh> a dozen or so varieties of Passion flower.

 

I have fallen in love with this!!! does anyone know where I can buy this plant!!!

I got mine from Anglian Bulbs - not idea if they still sell them at this time of the year, you'd be better to find a plant (dubious that you will ... eBay maybe?) or wait until next Spring and start a tuber off??

 

Apart from tomatoes, all that's left in the greenhouse is a large Vriesia Brigada and two Plumerias, one in bud.

 

I can't find one on ebay and next Spring seems a loooooong way off!!!

...corrrr some of your greenhouse are BIG....just had one this spring after all these years .. only a small one though .. and a centre piece was a black eyed susan .... could nor resist from the local gc at 90p! ... but it getting a bit too big so now the rain stoped its outside ...

 

Sorry internet playing up .... here the pic

 

This has bloomed over the weekend - Hymenocallis festallis;



About five or six weeks from setting the bulb to this in the greenhouse.

 

Longk as you will probably remember I'm not a lover of a lot of the plants that you grow, although I appreciate it's each to his own. But every now and again you come up with what I consider something special. The one above is lovely and it reminds me of Pleione, the plant I'm yet to acquire!

 

It's a shame that you can't smell it Sheal as it's delightful in that sense too!
