A Few Unusual Ones

Jatropha integerrima
I've had this for some years but need to really cut it back to flesh it out ...



Jatropha podagrica
Did this little fella from seed last June ...



Justicia carnea, Jacobinia carnea
A rooting starting to bloom ...



Russelia equisetiformis
Another rooting coming along nicely ...

 

Hi @Victoria , any chance of a close up of the flower on the Jatropha Integerrima please, the colour looks stunning.

 

@Victoria ,..unusual ones and very interesting ones,..i really like that Jatropha integerrima,..it has a nice flower,..does it by chance have a spicy scent ?.

You certainly are having great success with your seeds and rooting's,..i would steal your Jatropha podagrica,..that is one strange shaped plant for you to look forward to when it gets a bit bigger.

 

Good afternoon Gentlemen @KFF and @glengarry23

Here are closeups of Spicy as I call her. Sadly she does not smell very spicy ... but it could be because of the lower branches of the Tecoma stans (Ginger Thomas) next to it which is about three meters tall and has a heavenly ginger scent. She really glows in the sun when it shines on her later in the day. I have neglected Spicy for years so am now tending to her needs.

Philip, I am useless with seeds but I got 5 Budda Plant seeds and 3 took within a week or so ... I was quite shocked! We called them Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The above is Monday, Tuesday is on a go slow thinking of sprouting it's leaves and we gave Wednesday to friends.

 

Here's the Tecoma stans (Ginger Thomas) ...

 

Oh @Victoria , what have you done ?

I love Spicy . I'm gonna have to look around now ( probably for next year, I've already been on a spending spree this year )

 

And Tecoma Stans sound good too - naughty @Victoria for tempting us!

 

@Victoria ,..Spicy had my nose twitching,..now its at it again for Ginger Thomas,..both would go down well and the blooms are beauties,..i had a Curry Bush for years Helichrysum italicum and its scent was very much appreciated,..alas it got too big and Winter Storms thrashed it.

You could well be on a good run where seeds are concerned of late,..keep it going

 

I have bought from this Seller along with a couple of others from Spain and Portugal ...
