[ATTACH] I don't know what's in front. But the white stalks (behind) are typical of the pepper family - but who knows which species, as we saw...
Could be LongK. Thanks for the introduction - that's a plant I have never heard of.[ATTACH] Malvarviscus - the one that never opens properly....
Pete and Strongy - well spotted. I wouldn't have known those two.[ATTACH] Street Scene in La Fortuna, with two members of our party.[ATTACH]...
I am afraid not LongK. I did try to grow it from seed a couple of years ago - but no luck.[ATTACH] Thunbergia grandiflora[ATTACH] We have...
I assumed those overgrown House Leeks were a sort of Agave, but there were no pictures on the internet that looked similar. Hopefully someone will...
I think its a fear we all have - of losing all our pictures. They need to be backed up more than once, but how often do we remember to do it....
I had hoped to put these into some sort of logical order - but then I thought the order in which I took the photos was as good as any. :biggrin:...
Excellent John - I look forward to hearing how they do. I believe that, for us - without the right climate, it's quite difficult to get rhizomes...
Thanks Strongy. I have recently taken an interest in them, as they seem to be the one tropical plant that you very rarely see or see for sale in...

On my trip to Costa Rica, we stayed at some smart hotels that were obviously aimed at American tourists.[ATTACH] I was absolutely blown away...
Why so - Redstar. I found there were some very good aspects and others not so good.I have found I like all the members of the Zingiberales,...
Thanks Pete and KFF. The national flower of Costa Rica is actually an orchid, but I feel it ought to be Heliconia.
I have recently returned from a marvellous holiday in Costa Rica. Whilst I was looking forward to seeing all that they had to offer, I...
My apologies, I have been sidetracked and not around for a while. But here are a few pictures that I had been meaning to show....
Thanks LongK - I knew that you would know. I will probably raise the same question next year - so hang on to that link. :snorky:
[ATTACH] This was my bargain price Anthurium. I was looking closely at the pot and saw that the plant has quite a few separate stems. This implies...
Hi Victoria - that's cheap. You rarely used to see them, but they are pretty common now. I went to Hampsons in Wakefield, one of the very few...
wow - never heard of anyone in this country growing them. :thumbsup:
