Show Us Your Houseplants In Bloom 2018

It is! Not sure if it has made it through the winter - it had green shoots on it up until the ast cold snap. Time will tell.

LOVE this plant @longk ....looks like she's singing

 

Got some seeds on order @longk , going to give it another go.

 

@hydrogardener for sharing those BEEutiful blooms

 

@longk I thought so. I grew this along with a couple of varieties of Kangaroo Paw, and a few others I can`t remember now - a few years ago. My kids are all in Australia, and sent me the seeds. One of the Kangaroo Paw varieties did quite well, but I lost all the rest of the plants in a severe frost that winter.

 

I have A.flavidus and A.manglessii that I grew from seed that are looking a bit ropey at the moment - 50/50 whether they'll pull through I reckon. I have another unknown species that bloomed last year that looks far healthier though.
The Australian native that is currently frustrating me is Thysanotus multiflorus. I have tried twice from seed and failed both times.

 

@wiseowl BEEutiful

 

@wiseowl that's beautiful...is it perfumed

 

Oh @wiseowl you have made me mate ....i brought my mom one years ago on mothers day and it was put on the livingroom window and the smell from the flowers alone was ...who needs an hair freshner with a scented Orchid

Fetch it from amongst all the others and smell

 

Looks like a Dendrobium nobile - they're generally scented.

 

@longk ....as @wiseowl 's is way out of reach

 

Ornithogalum dubium..............

It was only cold until christmas then it was moved to the bathroom. It's a little etiolated but much happier than last year.

 

@longk, I bought in February (they had loads in B&Q) as I binned the last one, did you give it any special treatment to wake it up?
