  1. I have a million photos of this plant from my garden over the years. Yes, very redundant, but I don’t care! She’s my favorite and this is her season. #ThaiRedRoselle #hibiscus #AguaDeJamaica #TropicalPlants #Zone10 #Florida #gardening #flowers #Bloomscrolling

  2. The sunshine lifted me. Gardens after a rain always reveal new things. Everything looked more vibrant. #nature #tropicalplants #flowers #gardens #photography

  4. Last year I grew two turmeric plants. I tried to overwinter one, which is sometimes successful, but it died back completely in the dry indoor air. Out of spoons, I just ignored the pot in my living room.

    It hadn't been watered since December. I was planning to dump the spent soil and no-doubt decomposed remnants of rhizome.

    Last Monday I walked past the pot and was stunned to see a sprout. So I watered it, heavily and repeatedly. Today it's 16" tall. #IndoorGardening #TropicalPlants #Gardening

  5. I’ve never seen an orchids this tall in my life. Maybe it’s not an orchid? it was at least 60 inches long. #tropicalplants #orchids #flowers

  7. I found a dude trapped in a palm tree. He seemed pretty happy about it. 📸 mine #photography #plants #pareidolia #tropicalplants

  9. Your bi-yearly tip on #anthurium care. If you want to extend the red colour - snip off the yellow spadix, once the flower(looks like a leaf) turns fully red. That extends the red for much longer.
    This particular plant(we have several of these) was gifted to my Mom from a former Filipino coworker. Mom loves this particular anthurium because it's the biggest & healthiest out of all the ones we have. It's a good indoor air filtration plant.

  10. 3rd time this #pink #orchid has bloomed, this year. I usually only get 2 blooms from it, annually. Not sure why it's going on third bloom but I'm definitely not complaining about it.
    Lovely to have some pretty flowers to admire, as we near December.

  11. Pigeon peas are the most prolific legume we grow and they require no water or fertilization—even in our sandy soils. It’s one of the few things we grow that provides actual sustenance for us. We get so many peas that we can dry them, jar them and eat them for months. In Spanish speaking countries some call them grandules. These are also the peas that go in Jamaican rice & peas. #PerennialGardening #Zone10 #Florida #TropicalPlants #MiracleFoods @gardening

  12. Double infusion today. @deadnettlez inspired me to start a roselle oil infusion. I didn’t even realize this was a thing. The plant’s antioxidant properties make it great for hair and skin, apparently. I mean, I think I care more about the fact that it makes the oil #pink than anything else. I’m using coconut oil as my carrier. On the right, another batch of sun tea. #roselle #zone10 #TropicalPlants #HerbalRemedies #plants

  13. A tropical burst of burgundy and lime-green foliage.

  14. New cultivar registration: Commelina benghalensis 'Moonlight'

    Ms. Chayanisa Thiemkamol in Thailand has registered a new Commelina cultivar, raised from seed from an unnamed variegated Commelina benghalensis. The leaves have a combination of striped and speckled/mottled variegation, and the flowers are large and purple.

  15. These pots are too heavy to bring inside every night, but I'm not ready to harvest yet. Especially considering they did so poorly with last year's drought that I overwintered them (they barely stayed out of dormancy considering how dry it is indoors in winter) - and again they did poorly this midsummer with the extreme dry heat.

    So every night I bring them in (ginger has to weigh 100#), every morning when it warms I put them back out.

  16. After two winters of heating my backyard greenhouse (tropical plants) with fan blown electric resistance heating (read: electric space heater), I'm looking for a more efficient method.

    I see others using methane or propane, but, yuck and I don't want to cause an explosion.

    I haven't seen examples of people doing it, but would it be possible to wire up a 120v mini split?
