I have white, yellow, and orange....i should also have a rainbow and a red but they don't flower....i have only had them for a year and they are small-ish (2' tall in pot) so they might just being obstinate the ones i have had longer that are in the ground are always a good show. |

i have these older Phals in a hanging planter stacked vertically...i knew when i planted them that way that they needed to lean to avoid crown rot and i inclined them all about 45*.
they really love this location and they have all responded with the funniest growth to accommodate the lean and the light. this guy is just starting to spike but i love the way the leaves have fanned out to turn to the light https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...a65bbee_4k.jpgNew spikes by J Solo, on Flickr |
I really like the way you vertically stacked your Phals - nice!

Wow, what a wonderful display. That B. nodosa is a line-bred cross of two excellent cultivars - probably bigger than the generic. When two cultivars of a species are bred, still the species (with the goal of getting "bigger and better"). I'm jealous of your getting B. nodosa this time of year... I'm going to have to wait for summer.
What is the terrestrial? Really nice and vigorous! |
oh, i forgot- this two-tone adenium is opening too
