DirtyCoconuts presents: The flora and fauna of the Coconuts Compound

[Roberta]

Cyms just scream "share me"... It's nice to be able to untangle roots and get them apart gently, but quite a few need to be "persuaded" out of their pots with a wood mallet, then deconstructed with a serrated-edge knife. Or a saws-all. They do recover.

Love me some sarracenia! I had a mini bog in a half wine barrel for a couple years in dry ass Colorado but sadly a harsh winter punched its card. Will likely try again soon. Beautiful stuff as always, DC!

thanks Dorchid! glad someone enjoys the pics!

i know that there are some other carnivorous fans here and many over winter in the ground so you def need to do it again!

I don't know what to say... just astounded by the different plants you have, and jealous, and words won't describe it. How fortunate you are to have grown up in a tropical wonderland environment.

The Sarraceniaceae.... I've tried so hard, and always fail, fail, fail. And crap, some are native here. I've given up.

I'm lovin me some lizards and frogs! Oh... and the blooms are gorgeous as well.

What's the name of that last plant... yes, again, please?

[DirtyCoconuts]

of course, it is a dwarf royal Poinciana

that flower is not all the way open

on the Islands they are called Flamboyants and come in all the magical colors on the NEON spectrum

[WaterWitchin]

I need that DC!

i fear that I may live on the COLD end of their comfort zone but i may be wrong....I love to collect the seed pods with my daughter and they are easy to sprout if you know the trick
