Abunch of unknowns.
Can anyone help identify? I think this first one might be Mexican Petunia.

Re: Abunch of unknowns.
The first picture is a Ruelllia, Mexican Petunia. Considered very invasive in the south. Can't help you with pictures number 2 and 3, but the 4th picture is a Curcuma ginger. Commonly called "hidden ginger". Maybe Curcuma Petiolata which is a very common ginger in the south. Some curcumas bloom in the spring and some bloom in the fall. That might narrow it down a little but there are so many curcumas that look alike. it's hard to tell.

Re: Abunch of unknowns.

Re: Abunch of unknowns.
The palm in the foreground is a Phoenix species. Hard to say what species because there are a lot of them, but it looks like it might be P. dactylifera. Phoenix is also known to hybridize readily, so that could be a hybrid of unknown parents.
The palm in the background, right, looks like it might be a species of Washingtonia. There are two species, but I can't tell which that one it is. Ken Last edited by kentiopsis : 11-02-2011 at 07:58 PM. |

Re: Abunch of unknowns.
I should have said that Phoenix dactylifera is the date palm; other people have identified it as a date.

Re: Abunch of unknowns.
That Phonenix could be dactylifera, sylvestris, or dactylifera x sylvestris.

Re: Abunch of unknowns.
That date is definitely a hybrid, looks like a bit of dactylifera in it.
Second pic is a nice Cassia Alata Last pic looks like a Curcuma of some type (AKA Siam Tulip or sometimes hidden ginger). Nice pics! Thanks for sharing!
