    Passiflora (Passionflower, Passionfruit) Thread

    I noticed that there was a Passiflora thread on Terraforums, but many years ago. I thought it was time to start a new one. Although pictures of flowers can be flashy, I want to encourage people to post picture, comments, questions about whatever... Fruits, leaves (some species are grown...

    Candied Violets

    Always a favorite of mine, I made my own for the first time today. Simple enough recipe, just violets, egg white, and confectioners sugar. It's actually a means of preserving the flowers, as the egg and sugar act to dessicate the flowers. Simple but tedious! It took almost an hour to pick and...

    Mounted Orchids for Trade: Brassocattleya and Encyclia

    I have seen some orchid interest in the past here at TF, so I thought I would post up some other surplus plants I have. These are mounted -- one on cork bark the other on persimmon wood -- and are well established. Unfortunately, I was a bit aggressive in moving them to higher light conditions...

    Anyone Grow Interesting Tropical Fruits?

    I thought it would be fun if people would provide pictures of some of the interesting tropical fruits they are growing. I'll start with three very different examples. What they have in common is that all are cool growers, originally from high elevations in the Andes. I don't have a...

    This one will never win a beauty contest .......

    Orchids, by and large, are coveted by many for their exotic beauty. However, not all are so graced. Not exactly a “pretty face” – many folks find the flowers of Coryanthes to be rather grotesque or even obscene in appearance. Still, I find members of this genus to be fascinating in design and...
