Comments (25)Love that Key West Don! I have the plant but not sure which one of my yellows it is. Guess I'll find out in a couple of years. Don't feel bad mk, Naylor has done that to me three years in a row ( my only orders with them) and I placed all my orders before January. I've heard nothing but good things about them, but unfortunately they can't seem to get an order right for me. The only reason I tried them again this year was to get Pistache and Gameboy......guess which two hostas they DIDNT ship? Thankfully my orders from Greenhill and LOTG are always perfect....See MoreKey West Morning Glory/ Man in the Ground?
Comments (10)Thanks, everyone. That's an interesting theory, sultry. Makes as much sense as anything. Thanks very much for the suggestion, juneroses. I'll certainly ask over there. Hi, Silvia. Thanks for your suggestions, and gorgeous pics, as always. Yes, I know both of those, but the Key West morning glory has very small dark blue flowers about the size of a quarter. (I don't know why they call it skyblue vine when the flowers are much darker than that--maybe it's lighter in the wild depending on soil conditions.) It's a FL native from extreme southern FL. I was surprised to see it growing so happily up here, but the house where it looked best was right on the river so I doubt they ever have any kind of hard freeze. They also had a lot of mamey and other tropical fruits that can be a bit tricky up here. Even at the other house which was growing it, which was fairly near the water but in what tends to be a slight cold pocket, it was not nearly as dramatic, although still very pretty. I know it can grow in PB county, but in the wild it never even grew as far north as Broward, mostly southern Dade, Collier, Monroe. Much smaller plant in all ways than either of those--leaves are smaller, too....See MoreThese Plumerias just flowered, Key West Red, and P. Cubense Plumeria.
Comments (7)I don't know why the Key West Red is not more popular, but everyone seems to like the Hilo Beauty more. I'm always being asked for a cutting of it. I also have the Miami Rose flowering now. I'll post a picture of it later....See Moreteeda
