The Tiny Jungle

A melange of plants I’m currently enjoying! They keep me focused on beauty and botany!

Chelonistele sulphurea of Java has delightful small and sculptural blooms. The plant’s flowers are now a bit aged, but I took a good look at them today for that very reason. They always make me smile with their tiny curled petals!

I love moving among the Begonias in the greenhouse, big and little, young and old.

Drymonia affinis blooming now. I’m making cuttings that will be ready in 3-4 months. We love their showy yellow flowers with red/orange bracts. Easy to grow!
