Yes, it's an interesting one, surprisingly hardy and blooms continuously for about six months in my climate. Would be a good one for California I'd think.

...A gift for our Landlord's Secretary / everyone else at the office to celebrate the Lunar / Chinese New Year..   No Sake included since i don't drink :greenthumb:


Lack of Plumeria this time of year for making Lei = Not a problem..


" Winter " Sunflowers,  Desert Ruellia  /  "Torch Glow " Bougainvillea < for the Lei >,  ..and a few Chamaedorea metallica  fishtails..

Simple, perhaps  ...but significant in symbolism for a prosperous New Year ahead..

It does have a name, but I don’t remember it and just looked for a tag but couldn’t find one. Sorry.

My hibiscus is budding but not quite blooming yet.  There are a few flowers around today though.  First up, amaryllis:

Double bloom rose

Even Chamaedorea radicalis is flowering but not at all impressive!
