Thank you for sharing all these wonderful flowers.. lovely to see a pic of you too... it's always nice to 'see' who we are getting to know on here.

The slipper orchid is Paph argus... a native filipino species.

Also, post 3 pic 3 is an Australian native, the bottlebrush tree, Callistemon sp.

and i've just fallen in love with that red passionflower (Passiflora manicata)!

hi tim,
you are welcome!
yes, i actually would like to "see" more people here, so why not posting a pix of youserlf? or is there another thread for it, if not we could start one to introduce each other?

thanks for the info, the paph was quite easy, but the rest???
filipinos also called it bottlebrush, wasnt sure if it was a common name, but didnt know it was an australian native, thanks for that!

yep, the jamaican passion (as they call it here) got me 2!!!

Lovely blooms! The red passion flower in the first post is very pretty.

I wonder what the red flowers hanging off the tree is (in the last post). The floral anatomy is very interesting

hi smartie,

it seems like the passion flower is the winner here, im glad! those were covering the entrance of that guesthouse i was staying and you had to go through it, just lovely!

those red flowers hanging remind me on flamingo's, right?

have a good day,

Oh, you are making me homesick! I lived there for almost two years (on Negros and Panay). Illongo ka ba? It was incredible the "weeds" that would grow there, let alone the cultivated plants--they just love the place.

Those are some gorgeous plants. So did any of them follow you home?

hi sadie,
no im not illongo or speak it, im german. my tagalog still sucks and now i have to cope with waray, confusing...
i know dumaguete a bit and i love siquijor!
you are right, even the weeds have nice flowers and everything seems to grow!

i couldnt bring any of those plants all the way from baguio, but i got ideas and i hunt them down in leyte.

are you pinay?

Ron, meine Großmutter ist von Hardheim. Mein Großvater von Ungarn ist und hier aus Wien kam. My father stopped speaking German as a boy. My grammer is terrible. Joe

No, I'm amerikana but like I said, I lived in the Philippines for quite awhile and really enjoyed it. I hear you on the waray. Believe it or not, I never really learned Tagalog because where I was most people spoke Cebuano, Illongo or one of the smaller dialects. I understand Tagalog, but I am pure Visayan.
