Jim, that tibouchina is just magnificent! I've tried a couple of times to grow that, and failed miserably. Looks like it enjoys a lot of water, huh?

I just took a couple of pictures of another Costus 'Rainbow' before I came in to sit down and cool off. It's got variegated leaves with red reverses, and funny little tubular yellow flowers with a red stripe inside.Thumb of 2012-08-07/dyzzypyxxy/18b887 Thumb of 2012-08-07/dyzzypyxxy/b51323 Thumb of 2012-08-07/dyzzypyxxy/6329b4

PInecone gingers have big fat red cones now. Still lots of shampoo available, too.
