Another bargain bin rescue - Clerodendrum wallichii.......................


It was rather dry and limp when I got it, and I lost a fair few blooms, but for three quid it was worth a punt. Boy has it rewarded me!

 

That is absolutely wonderful LongK.
What green fingers you do have...

It is rather!
Tender Clerodendrums are easy given enough light, warmth and water!

 

I moved this pot of Bessera elegans into the front room when the wind and rain was threatened and it has romped away and looks good towering over the Clerodendrum....................


I'll leave it there until the seeds that are forming are ready.

 

No ... conservatory being rebuilt, so they are currently outside. Look fine, but I am more interested in getting them a perfect spot in the new conservatory once built.

The steels went in yesterday ... its a lot taller than I imagined, hope it won't look ghastly!!

 

P.S. I'm well endowed with Hoya now, Pete kinds sent me a couple of cuttings (last Spring) and I have your more unusual ones too ... so the new Conservatory is going to look & smell smashing when they are full tilt. Can't wait

 

Echeveria pulvinata "Frosty" in bloom.......................


I love its growth habit..........................

 

Haworthia attenuata v caespitosa....................


The whole plant..............................

 

Epiphyllum oxypetalum

Sadly, the only flower this year. I've been Seriously thinking whether or not to keep the plant as it takes up a lot of space and is quite unruly. Then a flower comes along and all is forgiven! They are huge but beautifully scented and just the one flower was strong enough to scent the whole conservatory.

I bought my Passiflora alata indoors last weekend as the buds were blasting in the greenhouse................


Too tender to spend the winter out there anyway.

 

Stepelia has 2 blooms out today. Stunning but they pong to high Heaven.


Mimosa Pudica has been potted on twice and looks set to bloom for quite a while yet.


Oxalis Cupido loves living on the bathroom window sill as do a few more precious ones that I want to keep safe over Winter.

@Jenny namaste - the flower buds on my Stapelia blasted in the greenhouse a couple of weeks ago (too cool at night?) so it's now in the kitchen.
I'm waiting for Cupido to go dormant as it's in need of fresh compost as the colour was poor this year.

My only named Phal is back in bloom - "Yu Pin Pearl"..................


I love the colours of it up close...................


And Aeschynanthus speciosus is back in bloom.....................
