So what other plants do you like?

[Ross]

That's what makes a terrarium so useful! Good job!

Is that a Dorstenia in there? I think the frog is middle right under what looks like a Dorstenia and above the Philo micans leaf.

[Tindomul]

Wow Harry! You got a good eye. You found the frog, and you can tell its a Dorstenia from the leaf alone!! At that distance! I can barely tell the difference between the Dorstenia leaf and the Tacca I got right behind it. At least not at that distance!!

[Tindomul]

Oh and yes, thats a Philodendron micans!

Hi!
Tindomul, I have seen your recently photo of Anubias Frazeri. It is a very nice photo! Please, tell about the size of your plant. Size of leaf and flower? How for a long time you grow up it?

I have received the analogous plant from the USA in the spring, but it yet did not give a flower. My collection includes about 40 species of Anubias, therefore it is very interesting to me.

It is photo of my Anubias Frazeri.


Sorry for my bad English.

Your English is nearly perfect! Believe me, I live near American citizens who couldn't even pronounce some of the words you have used. You're doing just fine here.

Ross, thanks for your words.

I wish to add any information. In revision Crusio (1979) Anubias Frazeri is absent. Nevertheless, I have found a photo of a herbarium of a plant which is very similar to it. http://ts-den.aluka.org/fsi/img/size...10_0165342.jpg

And there Crusio's by hand it is written, that this plant is Anubias hastifolia. Although Engler in 1915 divided these plants as different species. It seems to me, that Crusio was mistaken at drawing up of revision. There can be you know, whence this plant is delivered in your shops? As this anubias can be bought only in the USA.

In answer to Tindo, I also grow Tillandsia (air plants) and have many. Here is a photo of one of my groupings I also have three other groupings amongst the orchids. I find them easy to grow and bloom using orchid care. Best part of it is, the roots of these guys are only used for holdfasts - not nutrient uptake, so you cannot damage a tillandsia with root rot. I just throw them in the bucket to soak every week and they're good-to-go.

Hi Slivun. Thanks for the interest.

I hope to see all your Anubias species.
Ok, mine has identical leaves, and the flower length is 3 cm. Leaf blade is 21 cm long and 7 cm wide in the center at widest point. The plant is around 30cm wide, and 30 cm tall.

This plant is very different from my A. hastifolia. This one only has a hastate base, minimal, but hastifolia is very
prominent.

Thanks for your replay.

Nevertheless, the flower of them is very close in the sizes and a structure. Here the flower of A. hastofolia . It is very similar to the flower of yours A. Frazeri. Therefore it is very important to know, whence it is delivered A. Frazeri. If from the nature it is possible to speak about other kind. And if it not so it is possible only a hybrid.

By the way, my A. hastofolia essentially differs from yours. This plant since 1970 is cultivated in Moscow Botanical Garden under this name. http://www.tropica.ru/uploads/articl...astofolia1.jpg
