Rare Plants

I think that they're a great plant personally. The only reason that they are relatively rare that I can see is that they're not to everyones taste.

Flickr can be a terrible source of inspiration once you start to explore the various groups.

I'm increasingly using the sellers in Oz and SA more. The main reason being that their seed ripens just as our season starts so always fresh seed (if you choose the seller carefully).
From Oz;
Dipcadi viride.................


Cypella amabilis (I've struggled with the rarer Iris family in the past, but this is germinating freely)...............


Finally, Hexacyrtis dickiana.......................


Really looking forward to that one. Hopefully I'll get this.................

 

Amazing plants Longk , please post some more interesting plant and seller would be nice as well

So am I - which seller?

 

I want to see if i find the plant , then let me know if you make any order to south africa

 

Here's one for you Sal - probably Passiflora fuchsiflora, maybe Passiflora amoena. It's a shrub type. Not my photo. Link to the photo provided out of courtesy to the owner and because it also has a couple of links of interest about shrubby and tree type Passiflora.

Thank you LongK , but unless I got a giant greenhouse with all the light and heat , no way I`m even start to look at plant like that , sometime with my busy life style I barely even manage to watering the indoor plants ..... with the time I start to understand that a rare plant it can be as simple as a plant grown from seeds and wait up to 10 years to see flowering .... I`ve seen the habitat of certain plants and it`s just impossible to recreate that particularry habitat in a house , even harder if the house is in Uk ....

 

Ha ha ha!! You're beginning to see it as I do!
