Now from wonderfully scented to foul smelling, this one's "perfume" is like rotting meat. But the plant is still worth growing!!!

This one isn't better smelling than the last one, in fact i was holding my breath while taking the picture, as the stench is unbearable!!! The perfect gift for Valentine's!! Well, looking on the bright side, its an heart-shaped flower, thus more romantic! ;D ;D

Three more climbers. The first one is the Costa-Rican Dalechampia dioscoreifolia, aka Butterfly wings. Second one is an African Ceropegia. The third picture is a splendid Bouganvillea and was taken in Town at night.

Lastly, a picture of Passiflora trifasciata, Euchile citrina, Heliconia bihai and a leaf of an aroid that seems anvil-hammered in copper, Alocasia cuprea.

Have a great day
Michael

Happy Birthday, Mike. A great series of photos you made.
Any sign of flowers from my Cyclamen seeds?

happy birthday, michael, and thanks for sharing the wonders :)
you show some of my favourite things--species orchids and vines, though i dont really have the conditions (commitment!) for either right now..
ceropegia and stapelia are favourites, also like the 'rain lilies' and i agree the zephyranthes is very charming!

Just a few common things giving us an early autumn show.

Clematis flammula - wonderful fragrance and keeps flowering into November, sometimes beyond.

Dianella - we've had the best berry set ever this year.

Allium thunbergii - another late one about to open, flowers until very hard frost.

Liriope platyphyllus - 3 shots, the colour is wrong in the first two shots. See what happened when I removed the weed in shot 2. The camera would then not focus on the flower stem but it got the colour right.  

Ophiopogon berries.

Hi Michael (belated birthday wishes!)
the first of your rain-lilies is Habranthus tubispathus.

Hi John,
we're missing your allium pic!
cheers

Wonderful orchids, Michael,
I've always been fascinated by Gongora, Stanhopea and company, as well as the Cycnoches and Catasetums.  Without a greenhouse, I can no longer keep them.  The scent on Stanhopea is truly exotic, I agree.  Somewhat astringent at times, but complex and fresh.

And a belated Happy B-day.

Jamie

PS: the Clivia are doing very well.  Thanks.

Marvelous plants, Michael!
Not that exotic but still brightening autum days here is Anemone hupehensis
