What plants do you grow besides orchids?
I have collected plants for a long time. Outside are nut and fruit trees, berries, herbs, butterfly plants, and flowers. Indoors, I grow many tropical plants. Here is a partial list:
Cinnamomum zeylanicum Pimenta officinalis Theobroma cacao Jasminum samblac 'Maid of Orleans' Jasminum nitidum Stephanotis Piper nigrum Camellia sinensis Coffee arabica Hibiscus red Hibiscus pink Fiscus Lemon verbena Rosemary French lavendar Plumeria passion fruit a few CP's What, other than orchids do you grow? |
Besides orchids, I grow about a dozen varieties of succulents and a few cactus, bromeliads and tillandsia. Some of my other favorites include a Flamingo Anthurium, Passion Flower, Mexican Flame Vine, Deer Foot Fern, miniature Pomagranite, Royal Poinciana, Aristolochia, and a Mango tree. I love growing vegetable and herbs too. Unfortunately I've been too busy to start a garden and settled for a few low maintenance containers of chives and parsley.

I have enjoyed your pictures in the past! I have two little mango trees in a pot, started from seed. I hope they are slow growers. I have an improved myers lemon, an orange tree, calla lily, Norfolk pine...the list goes on. It makes winter in Ohio easier to tolerate, at least for me. My family, however, do not have the same appreciation of the indoor tropics.

I've recently flipped out on improving my vegetable gardens and just built a 16 by 32 shade house specifically for hot peppers.LOL, 22 varieties.
If you can name a vegetable or fruit there's a good chance I'm growing it. My neighbor calls me 'fligito.(afflicted):rofl: |

I grow inside a Jade, two Hoyas, and nine plumerias I started from seed. The plumerias are outside for summer break right now. I also have a rubber plant. I have unlimited access to tons of house plants since my Mom grows tons of them. When I was growing up my friends always said I lived in a jungle! My mini Hoya is a cutting from my Nana's plant and my larger Hoya is a cutting from my mothers. Her plant is amazing. It is strung all over the ceiling in her house. It is gorgeous. The blooms hang down from the ceiling like in a jungle canopy. This variety has to be quite large to flower so mine hasn't bloomed yet. I used to have a hibiscus but it died a few years back.
