Now that the cooler weather is approaching, my dwarf lime has decided to bloom, for the third time this year. No viable fruit, the first round. Round 2 is growing strong, a tad larger than golfballs. What a crazy growing season!

Looks more like a Xanthoma, not sure of the sub-species. All my Alocasia/Colocasias have crm/white inflorescences, the Xanths have the more Yellow. Hope that helps...
Cheers,
pat

Looks like the Red form of a Firebush, at least if those are it's leaves in the back. I did have a Cardinal Flower(a Lobelia)and it's leaves are lance-shaped....
Cheers,
Pat

Oh how I love plants that charm your nostrils.


I am trying to germinate some Ylang Ylang seeds right now (perfume tree). I understand they can take up to 4 months to germinate but if the smell is as nice as they say, it will be well worth the wait.

Joy Re: What is blooming in your garden today (other plants)?

These are beautiful Canna lilies...

But does anyone know the 'name' of them?

Is the yellow/orange - Florence Vaughn?

I don't have any idea for the red canna... Thanks! ~Cheryl

JaNan- that hibiscus Mrs. Jimmy Spangler is stunning!

My hibiscus have been blooming for a few weeks now
I have dozens all around the house - tuber variety
Red, white, & pinkish from the rooted version
White, White w/red center, Purple from the tree version- literally hundreds now
Funny I don't have many pics of them, actually only 1 of the red

"Was the Yellow King Humbert renamed the Florence Vaughn?"
Cheryl- the 2 names are of the same canna.
