These are my additional updates about colours.
This one is known as Aluminium Plant.
I had it before but it really didn't do well. This collection came from the rescued plants. The stem was badly damaged, I had trimmed it and replant them, it took awhile for it to grow and when it did - it gave some nice 4 leaved sprouts.
Something to consider that little thing matters.

This Basket Plant do not have primary roots, they just sit here in this make shift pot, the soil is nothing but a mixture of compost & sand. (Most of the compost came from all the pruned drying leaves.) I had collected the rest and placed of them here and placed it on my roof. They are still doing fine. Its amazing hardy plant with a nice cream stripes.

I still haven't identified the name for this begonia, as far as for me to identify it, I call it Curled-leaf Begonia. If anyone can identify the name, I would really appreciate it. Like any begonias - this one have 2 shades of colour.

The top pic notes the leaf colour in red as it had been well exposed in sunlight & the bottom 2 are placed in shade.

You have a very nice collection of plants!
ReplyDeleteJames, I have that 'unidentified' begonia too. I cannot find its name yet either. That aluminium plant is the I like best here. Good that you rescued it. And your plant arrangement is wonderful. Very nice combination of foliage pattern and shape.
ReplyDeleteYour begonia is fantastic. I love it in both colors. The red is beautiful, but the greenish is more subtle next to it. A nice contrast.
ReplyDeleteI do love the collection of colors and textures of these plants. I especially like the begonia leaves.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sue, Mary & Noelle for sharing your thoughts, really appreciate your comments.
ReplyDeleteSteph - I wanted to show you the begonia you have can change colour like this when its placed in the sun. Thanks for the encouragement.
