Oxalis triangularis " Cupido "

 

One of our Cattleya orchids.

 

Another of our orchids Dendrobium chrysotoxum. In total there are over 100 flowers. Fabulous colour, so vibrant.

 

I do like that yellow one @On the Levels .

 

Another orchid in flower. Aspasia lunata

 

Gorgeous dendrobium @On the Levels ! I always ended up with keikeis instead of flowers as I never gave them the dry period they need!

 

Leucophyllum fruitescens, Texas Sage, from an inch long cutting from Paphos last September. It only started growing in May. Has anyone else grown it?

 

@strongylodon never grown it, but it looks good! Can you give us a closeup of the flowers please? Was it a hardwood cutting or just a shoot that happened to fall in your pocket?

 

@CarolineL I t was a semi hardwood cutting taken from a shaped shrub in a huge container by the Hotel swimming pool. Not the best time of year for cuttings, my Bougainvillea ones were semi hard but rooted by late October. I am not sure it will take to our damp climate outside so it will stay in the conservatory.

 

Looks like one to try @strongylodon

 

I looked ...

Leucophyllum Fruitescens, Texas Sage for sale | eBay

 

@Victoria I found that you can buy plants on ebay too, I didn't know what the shrub was when I took the cutting.

 

Brassia verrucosa orchid

Paphiopedilum "Pinocchio" orchid

 

That plant is very tempting @strongylodon ! But I think I'd have to try seeds - I don't go abroad now - too many pets/ponies.
@On the Levels - that brassia is stunning!
