I'd appreciate input! All have yet to bloom (although there are buds on the one I THINK is "krinkle."

THANKS SO MUCH!

Help with ID of three foliage plants, please?

Thanks for the help guys. Two out of three aint bad. Concerning the Ming Aralia, Mr Sub, my experience has been thus: Originally placed it about 15ft from a SSW facing sliding glass door, where it shed branches at the rate of about one every three days. That was three months ago. I have since moved it next to said window and it hasn't dropped a leaf since. "Low light" my a**. The point is, mine has liked light but has been very tolerant of moisture levels. Now that we understand one another this plant has been growing like mad. More or less all of the lower growth is new in the past few months. Concernring the ZZ plant: I was somewhat negligent with this guy to begin with and didn't water it enough and it didn't grow at all, to the point I thought perhaps I had bought a plastic plant; but still it didn't die. I started watering it properly and it has gone crazy with new growth. Anyway, thanks for your quick responses, guys. Jason

Nobody can say what is the first one? My husband want to eat it assuming it's mustard, but I need to be sure it's edible mustard or second year black turnip. Thanks.

Pug- What a gorgeous tree! Thanks so much for sharing!! Look at all those mangoes. Now, are those the kind that get really big or the little yellow kind? Bo- Unfortunately, I live in an apartment annnnnnd in Nebraska, so aside from dwarf citrus that can be grown indoors, there's a limit to how much I can enjoy such a crazily rewarding addiction. I'm stuck on the cherimoya bit, too. It goes without saying that we never see them in even produce-friendly stores around here. I've frequently thought about biting the bullet and just having one shipped to me. My sister is LA for work most weeks, so I've been trying to get her to bring me back one. I'll have to tell her that cherimoya season is nigh and hinthint about Christmas presents. Mitzicos- Neat plant!! It looks like something someone made up for a video game world. I think I'd fall over laughing if I saw one of those in real life and I wasn't expecting it. Apparently you can bonsai it as a houseplant, so maybe that should be the new playmate of my lemon tree. Beth- When you copy the html code from your host site, usually somewhere in there you can see where it specifies the height and width of the picture. You can manually edit the code and double or triple these dimensions, before pasting it here.

I think it's a nice photo, Amelia. You certainly have some gorgeous blooms there. I would be super happy to get such charcoal-y flowers out of my publicalyx. :) Your description of the leaves as starting out dark also fits with Mike's RHP postulation. This plant is known for lots of chocolate and wine colored leaves. As Mike says, Black Dragon's leaves are pretty but a very boring flat green. It might not even turn out to be a publicalyx. Also, it doesn't always bloom black either, as some of us have been disappointed to discover. Bloom color can fluctuate wildly depending on the plant's conditions. If you really do have a RHP, it's a very interesting plant in this respect and often shows vivid watercolor splashes of various colors on single flowers, or very different colored blooms right next to each other. Happy growing and thanks for sharing your Hoya story with us!

Hi Michelle,

Your first pic looks like Hoya Krimson Queen, 2nd pic- not sure but maybe Kentiana, 3rd pic looks like Lacunosa and the 4th pic looks like Hindu Rope.

Hi Michelle,

Here go my votes:

1. H. carnosa hybrid, maybe Krimson Queen,

2. H shepardhii, kentiana or wayetti, they all look pretty similar in this group;

3. H. pubicalyx of some kind (they're are numerous varieties of this, I know of abt 4 diff ones myself); and

4. H. compacta a/k/a Hindu rope (one of my original Hoya favorites).

Nice pix, plants look healthy, hope this helps & enjoy!

Hi Pirate Girl!

THANK you for your input - I appreciate it! I'm inclined to think "plant #2" is a kentiana ssp. weyetii as I DO have an IDed shephardii and its leaves are MUCH longer and thinner. Once everything blooms, I guess we'll have a better idea and maybe someone will want to exchange with me!

Thanks again so much!

Michelle

P.S.- I must have Lacunosa on the brain or something. Clearly pic #3 is not a Lacunosa. Karen is right, it looks like a Publicalyx.

Hi, heres my vote :
1- KQ
2-kentiana (shepherdii leaves are almost twice longer as kentiana and more slender)
3-could be pubicalyx, but could be something else
4-compacta
