Gosh what awsome plants. I have to look up that Porter Weed. I love the scarlet wisteria, i think I had some seeds for it somewhere.. I put in three flower beds for other people this past four days. I am beat. Thanks for posting your lovely tropicals, I am so excited that I got my two plants from Brians, a Big Dipper, and a Royal Hilo. Went to a local Landscaper and nursery this weekend, they have the native white bleeding heart ( dutchmans breeches) but wanted an arm and a leg for them. I think I can find some in the country. I did however get a steal on a huge mandevilla plant, it was a 35 dollar pot, but had been windblown and one limb was broke, I got it down to 11.00. I am happy, stuck the broke piece in a another pot. My hubby wanted me to post the OPEN blooms on his tater plants..
Metro, I love the Xanthorrhoea.. is it a frond like plant?
