Hello Floridians!
My 88 year old father lives in Lutz and we were in Sunny Florida in June to visit him. My sisters and I had a wonderful visit and enjoyed the fishing in the Keys, particularly Islamorada....never saw so many iguana in one location! Had a peacock that would stroll each morning by the house.
Anyway, Dad sent me home with some cuttings and plant starts from his stroll garden for my tropical collection. I need a little help naming a few of them. Any help would be appreciated!
This one I don't have an example of the grown plant...these are 8 inches high so far, but the parent plant was 24 inches high and grows in dappled shade. not in bloom in June. The stem is rather fleshy like a geranium.
Pretty sure these are the vines...devil's ivy (giant form!) and the Split leave Philodendron Monstera deliciosa
This plant was growing in part to full sun and the "pups" are from a "bulb" from each flower...I think it is White Crinum asiaticum...
Have no idea what these little woody plants are...might be trees seedlings, but they did transplant well and are now putting out new leaves. The root was a long single root with no feeder roots. The plants are about a foot tall now and the roots were about 8 inches. The leaves are slick and ovate about 1 -1.5 inches. Dad thought they might have pink flowers.
This cactus was in bloom and was dropping sections on the ground...The mother plant was 8 feet tall with a smooth trunk that was 6 inches in diameter and the flowers were orange. It was growing in the part shade of the canopy in the garden.
I was able to purchase seed to the Royal Poinciana tree on line...both the orange and the yellow. Dad's trees were gorgeous.
