Love them!! So festive! Where are they from Ursula?

I picked up some of them years ago from Glasshouseworks. I found the white one, a deep red and a yellowish mottled one at Metropolitan Plant Exchange. My huge pink monster ( not visible here) is a Thai-import.

Ah!

Glasshouseworks has so much stuff on their pages it took me a few clicks to find the E. x lomis.

scroll about 3/4 down on that page to the Thai Giants/large Crown of Thorns.

Kathy, you are welcome to some of mine.

I unfortunately have no Orchid pics to share, but here are a few other plants I have that are booming right now

Hoya.Kentiana "wayett is booming for the second time this year.


First opened buds (with many more to come) on Aeschynanthus specious


And all my Christmas cactus are bursting into bloom

Hi Julie, how nice of you to join us!!
Very pretty!! I love the Christmas Cactus .
Do you grow a lot of Hoyas?

I have around 40 hoyas but only 5 are large enough to flower. your Rhipsalis pilocarpa is amazing!

Welcome Julie!!! Love your Aeschynanthus specious. It glows! I have 30 hoyas but many haven't flowered. This week my H. australis ssp. australis bloomed with a marvy scent. It has especially nice foliage for a hoya, I think.

Thanks Julie.

Kathy, I like this one too!

I think we are all in very good company here....

My large Jade is blooming!!

Nice Ursula! I hear they have a lovely fragrance.
I actually found a Rhipsalis pilocarpa Yesterday!

Very cool! I had one that big once but it never ever bloomed. Then I lived in the southwest and found out that lots of my MA houseplants grew as shrubs and bloomed there!!

Fragrance? Hmmm, I have to take an extra sniff test.
Julie, congrats on your new Rhipsalis. I like this one very much!

Kathy, isn't that so when you visit the native habitat of plants! You baby that little thing along to find a whole hillside somewhere covered with it...
This one flowers now right on schedule after being exposed to night temperatures outside in the forties F .

My favorite in AZ was the hedges of rosemary 4' tall!!!

You may then appreciate this bush of Rosemary near the Temple of Zeus in Cyrene/Libya. I remember staring at this one in utter disbelief, until I crushed some of it and smelled it!

I do appreciate it indeed!

Hippeastrum Sweet Lillian today.

Thanks, Ursula!

I'm not familiar with Hippeastrum Sweet Lillian ...it's beautiful and what a great photo..nicely done!
