And I don't know the Kaempferias at all -- they look like prayer plants.

So shiny and shimmery! You have a lot of cool foliage plants, and you know I'm crazy for agaves. Speaking of scoring a perfect 10 on the spike-o-meter, have you tried sharkskin agave? It terrifies and fascinates me. I have a small one in a stock-tank planter, and when it gets big it'll be a beautiful menace. Stiff, unforgiving leaves with a long spike on the end...Pam/Digginghttp://www.penick.net/diggingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876534142667059931.post-61417275586513720802010-08-16T18:24:42.996-05:002010-08-16T18:24:42.996-05:00Already had K. pulchra on my Gotta Get list, but t...Already had K. pulchra on my Gotta Get list, but thinking I may have to add K. laotica (I assume its the lighter colored one in the picture?). And I'm liking that Cornukaempferia aurantiflora too. The only thing that might hold me back is if they are too thirsty.RBellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02144562147128230710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876534142667059931.post-33429617720643076302010-08-16T12:49:11.303-05:002010-08-16T12:49:11.303-05:00Beautiful!

I rather like the little flower spikes.<br /><br />I have a different variety of Kaempferia ... the 'elegans' which is dormant right now during our Winter here. Your patch looks great ... and I can imagine how lovely it would be when the plants are flowering. <br /><br />Great Elephant's Ear too ... mine has really taken off this year ... it's growth has been restricted because I don't want it to grow too big!! <br /><br />Love that silvery Cornukaempferia ... great foliage colour. I also have a Cycas ... it's amazing how tough they are. I'm sure yours will come through well.<br /><br />So enjoyed your post ... thanks!BernieHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04435004798656616711noreply@blogger.com
