Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

Man, do I love Variegated plants - in fact anything Variegated! I have been an ardent collector for years and I still do it enthusiastically. If I spot a plant which has the potential of being Variegated, it will definitely follow me home.
Here are some plants in my collection and I hope you folks out there will share pix of your Variegated stuff here so I can keep on dreaming.....

Variegated Chorophytum bichettii
This is a small plant with equally tiny white flowers and lovely hi-white variegation.


Variegated Citrus madurensis
This is my 12 yr old lime with lovely Variegated leaves. I think the dragon embossed pot does it justice!


Variegated Citrus madurensis - Fruits Close-up
The Variegation is even on its fruits! Cool...


Variegated Euphorbia millii
This is the hi-white variegation form of this species. It has nice red flowers.


Variegated Manihot esculenta - Variegated Tapioca
Nice foliage on an easy to grow and edible plant.

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

Great pics, Tog. I'll try to post mine soon.

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

Wow I have a few thousand variegated plant photos, LOL. Lemme see what I can scare up

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

Love that E. millii Tog...a beauty!

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

Peace Lily "Domino"

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

Thanks Howard, there is another form of variegation on the E millii but it has very little white.

Here are a couple of shots of a few of my variegated gingers;

Variegated Alpinia vittata
A nice slim plant with equally beautiful foliage. It has delicate white variegation.


Variegated Alpinia zerumbet
Another ginger which is grown for its yellow based variegated foliage.


Variegated Zingiber ottensii
This is a rare ginger which is not well known in cultivation. It goes dormant during the hot season.

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

I just put a few in my photo gallery. I was lucky and had three variegated unexpected things show up in my stuff this year that I grew from seed.
And of course I had to show off a picture of my aeae.

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

Basil


These would be great if the darn leaves would emerge variegated and not white. I may need to add more nitrogen.

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

Pete-Is that a Ele Paio colocasia? Beautiful plant.

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

I wish I could show you all opf the variegated plants that I've killed...hey, I do have pics of some of them! Here's a variegated Oxalis (Wood Sorrell), which is a horribly invasive weed in the greenhouse at school. This one came up in a pot and IMMEDIATELY caught my eye, LOL! Invasive weed ot not, it was beautiful. RIP! Yep, I killed it.



Here's a variegated Hippeastrum papilio that I started from seed. I know...you're not supposed to be able to get seeds from H. papilio! I'm here to tell you that it can happen. This year, from our four plants at the greenhouse, I got 2 seeds out of 8 pods. Most of the time, you just get chaff. A couple of years ago, this was one of the seedlings. Last year, had 2 pods full of good seeds! About 1/3 came up solid white, and the other 2/3 came up green. Ok...this plant is still alive...BUT...it's outgrown its variegation, lol. I've killed the main meristem to try to get it to sprout a variegated side shoot. Wish me luck!



Here's another highly-invasive weed in the greenhouse, a Hemigraphis sp. Last winter, it lost almost all of its leaves in the garage, despite being under lights and getting water, and reverted back completely to green this spring! Thankfully, a new shoot has appeared that is variegated, so there is still hope.



A variegated Ensete ventricosum that I actually still have. Please...there's nothing exciting about this one, LOL! The white parts burn in the sun, and the leaves are slightly deformed also. Still have it though. Matter of fact, I just drug it out from under the house, lol.



Alocasia macrorrhiza 'Variegata':


Alocasia gageana 'Variegata':


Here's a cool branch sport from an already variegated Pittosporum tobira at my folks' house in Gainesville, FL. There are several branches like this! I've told Mom not to trim it til I get back next month for cuttings, LOL!



This is one of my favorites right now, and I'm very proud of it! It is a variegated Catharanthus (Madagascar Periwinkle) that was a branch sport off of an old plant in the greenhouse. As it has grown, it has emerged with a stable yellow border! Love it.



You can see that the older leaves didn't have a stable border.


Somewhere, I had some pics of a highly variegated sport off of my variegated Yucca gloriosa. Oh well...that's all that remains of it is pictures anyway. Killed it in the greenhouse this past winter. There are others around somewhere too, but I don't want to take up the whole thread, lol!

My Silver Blue Variegated Hydrangea



Taken at 6:25p today! Hope it's a good evening for everyone...

I have been enjoying the multi-faceted/varied interests of the posters here in the Forum!! An outlet for everything here on bananas.org!!!

Enjoying all the pictures!! Beautiful plants & beautiful people!! :) ~Cheryl

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

For the record I'm not the biggest fan of variegated plants (this doesn't include Bananas) However I kind of like these variegated lilley of the valley:





However if these count:
This is a Darjeeling Giant I grew from seed.

and this an African Rhino horn I got from Jarred


Then I guess I'm fond of some.

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

Philodendron, of the common roadside variety; I love the nearly-red variegation on the leaf surfaces, with the white-white venation.


Maranta, with a pattern that I like better than other available specimens; this has purple ventral surfaces with a pale pink reflection of the pattern.


Guzmania of some description; they only have these striking red stripes as young plants; the mature ones are solid green which was rather disappointing, really.


Caladium steudnerifolium - speckled form; there's apparently also one that develops stripes along the ribs, but I haven't found one yet.


Caladium clavatum - this will officially be described in September; it's an Ecuadorean native.


Draceana 'Lemon-Lime' living fenceposts. I love how the basal leaves are persistent here; my potted dracs never did that.


Philodendron pastazense - only in Pastaza province, you say? These have red-white variegated undersides as well.


Pleurothallis spp - love the spotting, really.

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

Bob...LOVE the the var. LOTV!

Lorax....absolutely beautiful!!!
Love the Maranta stripes too~!

Enjoying the pics!! :) ~Cheryl

Musa 'Florida Variegate'

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

i thought id throw in a picture of the HY Brazilian sins its highly rare at this point no telling when it will be released from the FHIA people if ever iv found it to be quite stunning in its variegation it grows faster and is more heat and cold tolerant then any thing iv seen it never lost a single leaf in the last frost

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

Here are a few of mine. I have so many variegated oddballs that I really need to get out and take some pics to post. The Amorph I have pictured has a beautiful pattern on it (light blue, yellow and lime green) but it has yet to stand up straight this year. Last year it grew like a weed.
Another was one of my AeAe back in 2003.
The pic of the Alpinia is a rarity Alpinia intermedia.
One pic of one of my first variegated Super Dwarf Cavendish. I've grown these for 5 years and I guess eventually I should sell 1 or 2. I also have a pic of it fruiting back in 05 (I think 05).

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

Love that amorphophallus!

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

Pete,

That Musa 'Florida Variegate' looks like a piece of art...
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! Looks unreal!!!

Paolo, wow on the HY Brazilian ...heat & cold resistance too?!

scottdurand, your variegateds are beyond beautiful too!!

What can I say but, 'WOW!'...
All these beauties!
Feeding my addiction for variegation!! :) ~Cheryl

PS - Bought another of the variegated Hydrangeas...this one has a branch with all solid white(light) leaves on in it.
I am going to wait to see how it grows & take a stem(thanks Pete!!) cutting to see what happens with it.
(Sorry, newbie to plant propagation...I hope it will produce a light leaved plant...any help out there??) :)

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

Thanks,Cheryl
If you google hydrangea cuttings, you should find some instructions for rooting them. I'm not sure about root cuttings, but stem cuttings of hydrangea are supposed to root very easily.

I had one with all white leaves on one side and set it behind the others to save it for myself. Someone bought it before I had a chance to take it out of my plant sale area. :(

The cuttings will remain the same ....they'll just have roots and be independent of the original plant.

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

Hi Pete,

Well, I am feeling pretty 'DUH' about now...I meant stem cuttings, LOL!!

Thanks for catching me on that one!! :)

Do you have a recommended rooting compound?

I have seen some homemade ones...

So it will keep the light leaf then??? Awesome!!

That will be beautiful!! Thanks for the info!! :) ~Cheryl

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

I didn't 'catch' you on that, I figured it was just something I didn't know about. :ha: I'm just learning about propagation myself.

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

I am green and white with envy! Some beautiful plants here.

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

Beautiful plants Mark!

Here is a pic of the other variegated Hydrangea I picked up.
No blooms, but the light foliage is gorgeous to me!



Hope it's been a good Monday All! :) ~Cheryl

Here's my nice variegated phlox.

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

A nice variedgated weed I found today.

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

Here's a highly variegated weed I found in my neighbor's yard. I like the striping but am not brave enough to put it in the ground! It has dark little blue flowers that close up at night. Name?

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

Taylor, it looks kind of like a Trandescantia to me. You don't have pics of the flowers, by any chance?

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

Taylor,

Beth is right- it's a type of Tradescantia, AKA, "dayflower". I wouldn't plant it in the ground unless you don't mind it going everywhere. They are also known as spiderworts.

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

Thanks guys!

Is this sort of variegation anything unusual?

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

We had this plant growing all around our garage when I was a kid mixed in with Vinca minor but I don't ever recall seeing a variegated dayflower.

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

Thinking of you looking down upon us Tog...
Hope you're enjoying the variegates!

Here's one of the few ornamentals growing at my home: a dwarf variegated leaf bougainvillea. The sepals vary between orange and hot pink. Above it you see a 1-year old chilean guava (Ugni molinae).

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

Hey, Taylor...that variegated Tradescantia isn't THAT unusual, but it is very nice. I've got one also, and so does a friend of mine in Kansas. It will take over, so you have to keep it under control somewhow.

A few more variegates that I've found:

Variegated Solanum ptycanthum. It looks so much better now than in this weeks-old pic!



Variegated Cypripedium reginae. Unbelieveable, really, since this is a very rare plant in TN anyway! But we managed to find a variegated one.



An update on my variegated Catharanthus rosea. It does burn in full sun, but seems to do well in 50% shade. Still needs to be trialed outside. Cuttings have been rooted, so trials will be carried out next year in several spots around the country.



I also have a nicely variegated Physalis longifolia that I haven't taken a picture of yet. Soon!

Frank

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

Well, shucks... haha. It's alright, I guess, because it' just sitting here in a pot anyway. I'm not going to put it in the ground because of its invasive nature.

Where do you work at, Frank? Must be a bot. garden/extension or nursery to be finding all those things!

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

Taylor, I'm now the greenhouse mgr. for the UT Trial Gardens. However...I found the Solanum ptycanthum in a bed full of weeds near one of our outdoor gardens from the Biology Dept. The Physalis, no picture yet, was found when I was fishing in the Caney Fork River in Mid-TN. The Catharanthus was a branch sport from an old plant in one of the greenhouses in the Biology Dept. The variegated Cypripedium reginae, which is the most exciting find, was found out in the field in Campbell County, TN, when a friend and I were looking for something else.

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

I forgot...I found a variegated Eastern Red Cedar in my new backyard also (Juniperus virginiana).

Re: Show your VARIEGATED Plants here!
 

My variegated KRU's have lost their variegation once I moved them indoors (southern window in Michigan). Is this normal? Will it return when they go back outside in the spring? Just wondering. These are some of my heartiest and healthiest nanners. Thanks.
