Name That Plant! | Forum profile

How many ways can one spell "Nerium"? Eeek, Joe

Primula auricula. Here is a link that might be useful: images

Shrub=Oleander Oxalis triangularis I believe.

Thanks! The various bulbs and tubers in the bed all do really well, without intervention, and I'm mostly just satisfying my own curiosity in identifying them as much as possible. Now to get the spots labeled so I know what I'm digging up 8 months from now.

DING DING DING! YES! I looked up malpighia and all the pics are a match!!! Thank you soooo much Carol!!! I greatly appreciate it!!! -Brad

good point gal. alas my bosses think that we have big problems with Phytopthora and Rhizoctonia and we are actively treating for fungus about once ever two weeks. And due to the crappy greenhouse owner who wont fix an air pump, we are having to water from above instead of below and are having problems with fungus on leaves as well as across the surface of the pot. Which does not look two attractive when it comes time to ship the plants....

Tedhort and tulsarose. Sorry, I forgot to thank you for your responses. Ted, the family Euphorbiaceae is certainly where phyllanthus lies, and Rosie (Tulsarose, love that name) after looking at the link you so knidly provided I'm almost inclined to say yep, no doubt. The picture is almost identical I reckon, flower and leaf-wise anyway, to the one in the pic I provided, except the tinge of pink is missing in both flower and new-leaf...

It's worth mentioning that the 'expert' (Greg Hamby) on the site you've linked provided an erroneous response on a couple of levels. Not only is the image clearly NOT downy or powdery mildew, but his statement that any fungus will [defiantly] damage your crop is a false one. Yikes.

I think that's it! Of course, one can't use the flowers as indicators this time of year, LOL, but the plant itself looks like a precise match. Thanks so much for your help!

Thanks!!!
