    Five years ago I planted seeds from the plant Cryptostegia grandiflora[commonly known as rubber vine],, wait every year to see the flowers but nothing,, read how to flourish must rains in the summer,, something that here on the island is very rare,,, but this year it rained, , Perhaps this help and the plant blooms every day,, the branches are tangled in banana leaves

    Nice Cyclamen. Is the rhizome on top of the ground?
    Cute yellow Achi.
    I also got a few, this yellow included.

    This is my favorite, I think!

    And a few others... I think I also have a double pink???

    These two are different. The one on the right, is a much darker color, but the camera can't really catch it.

    every year and this year cultivate this plant,, is a perennial but unfortunately can not live in winter, plant seeds this spring, I took many times buds however spoiled by the warm,, of course the striking is not the flowers, but for those who do not know is that when you touch the leaves of them immediately CLOSE ...
    Mimosa Pudica
    called sensitive plant and the touch-me-not,humble plant, shameful plant,sleeping grass,ant-plant.

    HEHEHE... interesting. we seem to have the same plants.
    I also have the mimosa. Actually, it's my younger brother's.
    He asked me a few years in a row for the same plant... he's not a real gardener, but well, he likes this one...
    SO... I got him two plants.

    Cool hibiscus. Looks like an eye staring at you.

    I also got a HUGE hibiscus tree, I got seeds from one in Hong Kong in 2006.

    Now it's high to the ceiling, I keep it in a pot, every fall I take it inside and in spring outside...but it never blooms.

    From the plants in HK I managed to ID it. Hibiscus mutabilis. Meaning, the color of the bloom shifts from pink to white (or viceversa?).

    I think a couple years back I saw small flower buds, many, but the cold season came and none opened. I think it needs a very long hot season and probably humidity.

    Calin I see we like the same plants :-D :-D :-D
    nice to mimosa :-D
    I've also cultivated Ηibiscus mutabilis, but I broke down some time from the a lot of water, always blooms in October, I did not want too hot nor too cold weather,,I hope you bloom :-D :-D

    the spring of 2011 we planted seeds from the plant Passiflora edmundoi ,sprout quickly but the plants did not live :( in the autumn planted seeds again but again the plants do not withstand the cold.
    This year the 2012 June, germination alone in my pots on a passionflower, When I grew up I understood from the sheet that is the edmundoi,,the plant grew quickly and two weeks ago I saw the first buds,,bloom today........

    Wow. that's a cool and interesting passi :)

    I see about the H. mutabilis. I guess the warm season is not long enough.
    Now it starting to cool off, and yesterday we had the first rain in a few months.

    I love the colors of the Passiflora edmundoi - almost looks like a plastic flower.

    I would totally love to have some of the lemon-yellow rosemallow! I'm adding it to my wish list right now.
