How did I forget this cute little Plectranthus??! I got it there too, so it was 5 plants for $20.
Looks like I also forgot to show this GIANT, HUGE orchid. It was growing in a home-made-looking wood hanging trough thing:
Larry, IDK if you have the same affinity for potted tropicals? There were annuals & perennials too. ;)
TY, Lin! Your suggestions match what I was thinking for a few of them, but I wasn't sure enough to put more info above. That ginger was with the perennial plants. Looks like we're prob at the N edge of its' hardiness in this area, but I'm willing to try (& prob bring a piece inside, just in case.) Those leaves are just so pretty. She had those under shade cloth. Do you agree it's a mostly-shade plant? I was confused to see the Colo out in the sun. If it's like the plain C. esculenta, I've seen how that grows much bigger in shade than sun here. Is this variegated kind one that you have?
Deborah, there were about 4-5 diff kinds of orchids, but for some reason, they intimidate the heck out of me. The whole thing about keeping them alive... and as a confirmed spaz, worried about breaking the flower stalks. Is that kind more unusual? I forgot to sniff any of them... hopeless!
All around the ground inside the GH, there were a bunch of diff kinds of plants that had taken root. When I go back, I'm going to ask if she can give me a good price on a few of those too. I don't mind waiting longer for them to get bigger.
