June Flowers

11 years ago

Where has everyone been? It's been quite dead here the last couple days....

Dont Have any 'worthy' flowers only my Spiders, COT and hawthoria have blooms. My hawthoria though I'm pretty impressed by. 3 of the flower stalks just had there last flowers today, but one keeps going! It's already has had more than 30 and doesn't look like it's slowing down! I'll post my Peace lily when it's opens as It hasn't bloomed for me in a while.

Let's see em if you got em!

In others news, I have a new houseplant awaiting me In B. C, Can't wait to pick up my first banana! Not sure on the kind yet as my grandma got it for me, but it's red apparently. Also got a Musa basjoo which I'm going to try to grow at my Cabin! I just think it's the neatest thing that a banana can be a perennial in Zone 5 and up.

    Not much blooming here either - CoT is blooming non-stop, I have posted too often. So is kalanchoe blossfeldiana and haworthia attenuata - just like yours.
    Here is oxalis Iron cross - started blooming month ago, I think it will bloom for a while:

    Ps: I thought the correct name is haworthia rather than hawthoria...?

    The sad thing is that I've had it 6 years.

    Maybe one day I'll get it right!

    Here's my Peace lily

    I like the bottom one you got there! I'm a sucker for anything orange.

  • 11 years ago

    Billbergia nutans is going to make a late (or early?) bloom! (In the company of some other, bigger Bromeliad, and Cryptanthus.)


    Ledebouria socialis, a tropical bulb plant.


  • 11 years ago

    More buds on Hoya.

    Billbergia nutans is getting ready.



  • 11 years ago

    An update on flamingo plant, Chrysothemis pulchella:


    Purple waffle plant, Hemigraphis, has buds.


    Ledebouria socialis flowers are fully open now, the bottom ones have finished & fallen off.

    In the ground for summer, this is a piece of a Begonia 'Castaway' I've had for years.


    Update on Queen's tears, Billbergia nutans:

    Not many posts for June this year!

    Here's my Peace lily about to bloom. Or put out a very variegated leaf. Actually I think it is a leaf. Oh well one can pretend. Also due to lack of blooms here's my fuchsia which yes is outside but technically it's a houseplant in training. Also here's Japanese iris just for fun.

    Didn't relise how blurry the photos were!

    Whered everybody go?

    All the forums have been quite dead here and I was forced to go to Aquariums and now I'm in a big debate about betta fish *shudders*

    My fuchsia opened.

    Red and white! I thought it was going to be pink, thank God!

    Purple waffle plant (Hemigraphis)

    What a cute little flower,Purp!

    Mr.Blubs,..I couldn't help being curious,and I saw that discussion you spoke of. Saw her youtube that called you by name also. You have my sympathy.

  • 11 years ago

    Hahaha! Thanks

    Gave me something to do though. And I bet it's still gonna continue. Oh well.

  • 11 years ago

    Yeah,..that thread doesn't look like it will end well....they never do. In spite of the fact that it really shouldn't be addressed here,I really don't want to wade in over there,so I'll give you my opinion personally. I'm of the opinion that the only reason the males aren't tearing each other apart is because there are larger fish(the angels specifically)competing for limited space and they can't really establish territory of their own. They are too busy ducking for cover to assert themselves.

    I don't blame ya!

    That's a good reasoning. Makes sense. Also the angels one of the worst fish to add to a community tank with Bettas. Didn't add that to avoid more outrageous responses!

    Somethings gonna happen eventually but I don't care if she does it, just don't go around saying that everyone can else can do it.

    When last I looked there weren't any responses to her youtube video yet. If/when they start coming in,it will get ugly. That community is little more than a den of flaming trolls.

  • 11 years ago

    Yeah, things get pretty out of hand over there. Oh well.

  • 11 years ago

    I'm feeling a ghoulish propensity to check periodically.

    How sad is that..? lol

  • 11 years ago

    Not that sad as I've been doing it too! Hahaha

  • 11 years ago

    I wonder if people will follow her advice and end up needlessly killing a bunch of fish..?

  • 11 years ago

    The sad thing is probably some will. If people are wanting to, or wonder if they can they'll look and ignore all the No's if they find one yes. I guess they'll learn the hard way. I hope they don't but you never know

  • 11 years ago

    I just feel bad for the poor fish.

  • 11 years ago

    Yeah their already mistreated enough why add a whole other factor? Not much you can do though. That's why I usually stay away from aquarium forums as there usually all messed up colliding with different view points and Yada Yada. Some are good though.

    Well better start the July flowers before July 1st ends
