Thank you Ursula and boojum.



The Spathoglottis is blooming again.

Such lovelies, Dinu. Spathoglottis are one of my favorites as they bloom nearly year 'round for me. I have 4 colors, the purple like yours plus white, yellow, and a multi-colored one I call 'opal'. Our friends on this forum are probably tired of seeing this one as I take pictures of it all the time.



I have Epi's like yours as well, in red, orange and golden yellow. As Carol says they grow easily here, and are used widely as landscape plants. I recently noticed one of our main roads has a median planted entirely with broms, those orange Epi's and just a few large palms for a bit of shade. I'll be interested to see how they do out there in the middle of the traffic!

Wow! Your garden has really come a long way since I last read your blog. Beautiful!
Carol

Thanks both of you.
The road dividers here are very ill-maintained and ugly. No plants, but filled with mud on top of which grass grows by itself. Also some weeds!! The funds are utilized in other ways and also mis-utilized [you know what].

See picture. The yellow and black painted dividers are painted once a year and the smoke from vehicles makes it ugly. This was taken in Jan on a morning when some fisherman was selling fish [rare scene] to someone who was passing by in front of our gate.
