| This's the caulescent form of tectorum with a very long inflo. On the bottom is the small form of heteromorpha which finally bloomed after many years.

| Neat pictures gonzer. Its probably the only way I will ever see those blooms. They just wont bloom here. Bob |
|
| Hi gonzer, Great pics and great plants. Just love that tectorum. If I could ask, have you grown that as a hanging plant, or do you have it sprawling across a surface of some sort? Fantastic specimen. Cheers, Paul |
|
| It's a hanger Paul. Although I have a few specimens that have rooted on cork hanging allows the plant to fully expand 360°. Bob, don't feel bad, these guys are VERY shy bloomers. |
|
| I think this is the same as your first plant Gonzer. I have now started taking pictures with the label when I get a new airplant because this brain just can't remember them all....
|
|
| Cabo, howzabout some different views of that plant? From that lone shot it resembles T. werdermanii. |
|
| Hey Gonzer - see if these are any better. It is in a tree surrounded with roses so a little difficult....LOL
and caulescent is a familiar name to me and not werdermanii but you never know with me... :-) |
|
| Well, it's not a form of tectorum, that's for sure. just from the sheer size of T. latifolia would be my guess but the abundance of scales is weird. It really looks like a monster pupurea. Let's wait for bloomage. |
|
| Wouldn't be an odd form of straminea would it? -andy |
|
| Andy is right - found a picture with the label - straminea tall white. I'll post another picture when it blooms. |
|
| I've never seen an example of that plant although I've seen them for sale. |
|
| Woohoo! I think I just earned myself a cookie...off to go hunt in the kitchen (although I think I will be disappointed). |
