My photos skills are limited, but here goes. This photo taken in the rear waiting area of Menkrai Kilns in Chiang Mai...

DD: The pink one is a double hibiscus with an iron deficiency.

The "fruit type thing" is probably star apple, which the Thais call "mafooang" or something like that. But, there are related fruits with similar flowers, so it's tough to tell.

The Mook: Golden Trumpet, or something else?

I think the yellow one is Pandorea.

Propagator · 25-06-2007, 04:19 AM

^ Have to agree with BH on this. The Pandorea has a differant flower petal arrangement and I cannot find any reference to a yellow one. However the Golden Trumpet (allamanda cathartica) seems to match well

Just about time to harvest the seeds from this bua seed pod. It's kind of unusual for the pod to stay so green while the seeds have turned so dark:

I'll use these seeds for the "Growing Lotus From Seed" project.

Nice pics. Pity few names are included. I know most of these, but some not. Kannas and chenille plants are my favs.

buad hai · 26-06-2007, 07:21 AM

^I was hoping that someone with more knowledge than I would pop in with some identifications.

I think EG knows most of the orchid types....

Marmite the Dog · 26-06-2007, 11:04 AM

Where is George, anyway?

buad hai · 26-06-2007, 11:08 AM

^George who?

Marmite the Dog · 26-06-2007, 11:10 AM

Curious George

The_Dude · 12-07-2007, 12:47 PM

BH,
Here are some of the missus orchids.

I tried to load some more pics but for some reason they don't wanna go in. Maybe later. Enjoy!

The_Dude · 12-07-2007, 02:02 PM

Some more pics.

dirtydog · 12-07-2007, 06:10 PM

It looks like she owns a commercial nursery

The_Dude · 13-07-2007, 01:16 AM

/\ A little one for locals and to send to the nearest town. She also grows Jasmine and Marigolds for Buddist holidays etc., along with other kinds of flowers. But now she is in the States, so now they are being taken care by Mom and Dad.

The_Dude · 13-07-2007, 01:38 AM

And some more pics of the other flowers.

Jet Gorgon · 13-07-2007, 06:37 AM

Pls make the pics bigger, Dude. Ask DD. Kill the thumbnail or something. I would love to see them bigger. 55

The_Dude · 13-07-2007, 07:34 AM

/\ Done!

buad hai · 14-07-2007, 08:59 AM

Great photos and great to see you posting again CG. With my old eyes I can't see the kind of detail you got in your photos without a combination of reading glasses and a magnifying glass....

Care to go back over this thread and correct any of the ID's we made (or didn't make)?
