I have Epi. crenatum. The flower is similar, but it is a day bloomer, and has very different leaves

Another little bell on my variegated Abutilon. This plant is a terrible tease as it grew like crazy to more than 7ft. but has only put on about 3 blooms.


These blazing Billbergias are putting on an encore this week.

I'll match your abutilon and raise you a couple of hibiscus.


A casual look at some palms:




And from the rose garden:




A couple of cycads, Dioon spinulosum and Zamia maritima


Muhly grass blooming


The last of the amorphophallus.


Seed pods on the golden rain tree.


Firespike and plumbago


Fishing along the lake


My tree bougainvillea


I put a bromeliad in the golden raintree and look what happened.


Dwarf poinsiana


And I'll leave you with some Buddha belly flowers.


Jim

Holy cow, Jim you've really got lots going on at your house. I love the 'Bromeliads gone Wild' tree there.

Some of those look like the Billbergias that I gave you, too. I've never grown them in a tree before but they sure seem to like it!

Oh WOW, that is a show. Impressing since everything is so washed out here. That Brom tree is going to be amazing when it starts blooming.

Jim, the rose in your first picture, red flowers, twiggy growth, do you know the name of that one? It looks a lot like an antique one I have called Slater's Crimson China.

Oooooh, loving the Show!! I have always liked Abutilons!
The Zamia must be huge for its species?

Our Zebra plant and a NOID Plumeria

I have a feeling that's the Celadine. Take a close look at the borders of the mature leaves, and see if you see this distinctive vein pattern.

It all looks healthy, Ted.

Jim

What a huge Plumeria!!

That plant is on the North side of the house where we don't have an entrance. Fo some reason we just don't get out on that side. All it gets is water twice a week from the irrigation system. I couldn't get the whole plant in the picture. I was up against the neighbors bushes. I'll check out the leaves, Ken and let you know.

That's the leaf exactly, Ken.
Thanx

I wish I knew more specific leaf patterns for specific varieties, but the Celadine is the only one I know. Hetty clued me to that several years ago. Though I have four sub-varieties (or at least four different flower sizes/colors) of the Celadine, all the leaves remain constant.

Just trying to catch up on this thread...what a huge variety of gorgeous plants everyone has!!!

Ursula, is that a cassia tree you have in your house??? It caught my attention because it looks like one I have in the ground here that must be about 10 or 12 feet tall!

Patty, no, not me. Perhaps you meant Jim?

Nope, I meant you...your post on Oct 26...you have 3 pics of things you had moved inside...the tall 'tree' in the corner looks like my cassia...

Ah, now I know what you mean. No, it is Murraya koenigii/ Curry plant. I make Curry every so often and those leaves give it that special flavor. I bought it as a small plant and it grew into this nice tree over the years.

Wow, VERY cool tree!

I couldn't imagine having to move so much stuff inside in the cooler months!

I view it as good exercise!

La Nina - that is the word being bandied around by the weatherman this week. That means we are headed for a warmer drier winter. I took these photos one year apart. The first is November 11, 2015. The second is from the same spot (my back step) today.
