I was waiting for one of you guys to ask ...........I have other colors too! .... maybe I should show before I tell...

.....and to think those are in bloom right now ...:shy:


So what's your guess..?
" no cheating"

 

[Levi the Leopard]

Hmmm.. I wouldn't know the name of it. But it does look like one of the singing garden flowers from the original animated Alice in Wonderland! Lol

 

[wellington]

It looks like some kind of giant Pansy. So, my guess is its in the Pansy family. You got some of the best flowers ever. The only flowers I have blooming right now is......
Oh, that's right, we only have the lousy SNOW FLAKE

 

[N2TORTS]

Another neat tropical close by in bloom …..

And one of my favorite Bamboos’……the striking variations of thickness, number and line placement is simply amazing …and the fact nature can complete an almost complete vertical/perpendicular line





and your one up on me ......I have never grown any snowflakes ....let alone seen one in real life!

 

[wellington]

You really now how to rub it in. I do know the Bird of Paradise, one of my faves. What's all the others? The one looks like a type of African violet?
I have a whole bunch of Snow Flakes I can send you. I just don't think they would last the trip . But don't be surprised if one day, they show up at your door

 

[N2TORTS]

Ha ha .... I can picture it now ... " a Wet box from the USPS man "

Gosh I think were "evil twins" ...


Ok .. the flower is a Primrose flower is also known as the Primula Vulgaris. This flower is native to the countries of Europe and Britain.

Of course I wore out how many batteries taking pics of "wild-life" I'd only seen pics of.

This tree I have been growing for about a year now...almost time for a new pot! It doesn't have flowers, but its beautiful. Wonder if I could feed it to the tort...? Idk. Its called a 'Money Tree'. (Where's the money? Lol) anyway, it has at least triples its size, and our local florist taught me how to help it grow in the 'braid'. Thats how the trunk twists around. I am really excited to watch this guy grow.
