Wow, you have a lot of great tropical foliage -- such gorgeous leaves! And the names of some are fun too -- 'Hannibal Lecter'?? My fave, I think, is Cordyline 'Chocolate Queen'. Thanks for joining in the leafy celebration.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam, I'm a collector of way too many plants and I love them all. The tropicals take over my house in another month or so. The freezing weather isn't too far off now and I really have to fire up the lights and get the tender stuff in the house.
DeleteGlorious foliage Deanne! With leaves like that, you almost don't need flowers!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, I completely agree that with great foliage one doesn't need flowers. But then again, I love them too
DeleteWowza! Maybe next year I'll do the foliage follow up too. I certainly have enough of it. I feel like we're going to get an early frost this year. Too many cold nights for mid September.
ReplyDeleteI know Sue, it has been pretty cold at night the last week or so. I'm really hoping I can get another three to four weeks so I get one good bloom out of 'Charles Grimaldi'.
DeleteWow! For a New Englander, you have a marvelous selection of tropical foliage! I loved all of it. I hope it all survives the winter inside. I used to live in Massachusetts, so I know about early frost dates. Hauling all of that into the house and keeping it alive is a chore and a half.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alison, it is, indeed, a chore and a half to get my tropical things in the house for the winter but is a labor of love.
DeleteI love your planters. Sorry about your storm damage. Where do you get your Acalyphas from? I just love them, but rarely see them for purchase.
ReplyDeleteMelanie
Thanks Melanie, I love Acalyphas too but they are pretty hard to come by. I've been collecting them for years now. My A. 'Raggedy Anne' is five years old now. I found the A. 'Jungle Dragon' at Frizzome Gardens this past spring, I've had my Wilksiana and Obovatas for several years as well. I prune them back and winter them over under lights.
