| On display; renenthera storiei Plants are best grown hanged in baskets and on mounted and require full sunlight and intermediate to warm temperatures. If hunged the roots must be watered frequently. Plants should be grown in media that is well drained such as tree fern fibers (for small plants),several pieces of coarse fir bark, or sphagnum moss. If they are grown in pots there must be excellent drainage.

Nice acquisitions. I hope you haven't given up on begonias, you had some sweet looking plants last year. Fairchild is a great tropical botanic garden but The Huntington has to be the greatest Mediterranean botanic garden. It has a larger plant collection, greater variety of plants and is located in an area (San Morino, CA) which has some of the most impressive early century Spanish revival homes in the US. Huge lots and even larger houses. Just touring the streets is a fantastic tourist destination.
ReplyDeleteI still have begonias. Some are underneath vanda roots and get drenched in seaweed water and the rhizomes are sprouting leaflets fairly freely. In stock, 'big mac', phoe's 'doc' carribean queen, U402, alba.
ReplyDeleteUsing superlative adjectives... I think I'll lay off. Everyone has their favorite spot.
