This is a really hardy little plant with delicate purple flowers and velvety leaves. It only grows (at my place) to about one foot/30 cm high. It...
2000 species!!! that's a lot of looking at photos on the net. The plant in the garden is fairly mature, it doesn't get much taller than that :'(...
Thanks for the suggestions guys. Chocolate I'm sure it is unhappy, it needs repotting. However, unless suited up in armour and long handled salad...
Thanks FlowerFreak, but the leaf looks very different to those on the internet and it definitely doesn't spread. I've just taken a clearer shot of...
The flowers (not in these photos), but from memory are small and cream, and not frequent. This plant when out in full sunlight has less green...
The first photo shows a poor specimen (from above) of this plant...out in my jungle. The second is of a few cuttings I'm propagating. This plant...
Jerry, thanks so much for your efforts...I've looked at your suggestions, but am still indecisive. I guess I should wait until (if I live that...
Chocolate it's a gorgeous colour. I just wish it would multiply faster. I could do with more drought proof red and orange colours in my jungle :wink:
It is, it is, it is :) according to Google images. I have a few dracaenas, I would never have guessed it was in the same family. Thanks again...
This plant has been surviving on its own for around 20 years. Given to me by my Mum who says it gets a cream, insignificant flower. Her's also has...
I was given this bromeliad over 10 years ago and planted it out in my jungle, somewhere, and forgot about it. It was only a very small pup at the...
Please don't be sorry, you've helped me so much areadly :stew2: I have more plants I need to identify, including the most slowest growing...
Chocolate, I think I've confused the issue by not keeping on topic within the posts. Your photo is the same as my brom in this post...
I guess I'll have to wait until next year's flowers. Google just isn't being very helpful right now.
Chocolate the photo you provided in http://www.gardenstew.com/about24391.html looks a lot like my bromeliad. I asked my Mum and they get teeny...
Chocolate, I'm moving this over to the correct topic...just in case someone else wants to know. :mrgreen: http://www.gardenstew.com/about24392.html
Chocolate, I think you're onto something. My photo shows a dead flower, and I'm not 100% sure that they were black when blooming. I'm going to my...
They're gorgeous! And you are right about the look and not the name...but just in case :lol: I'm still working on the small green one....
You are brilliant! Cryptanthus red burst or bahianus x Billbergia nutans. I do have one of the usual cryptanthus(earth stars), didn't think this...
Chocolate, Dyckia was my first thought too. However, since reading further, and I could be wrong, Dyckia flowers grow on the end of long stalks....
