Thai flowers, your pictures

**Curious George** · 14-07-2007, 07:56 AM

I now feel guilty for only enjoying other's efforts, and not contributing. So, I had better make a contribution also.

Just to stay within the same Genus, here are a few Thai Dendrobiums:

Dendrobium parishii (Dendrobium papuatu x Dendrobium mohlianum). Blooms lasted 2 weeks.

Dendrobium burana green Bloomed 2 months ago, and blooms still on the plant.

Dendrobium gatton 'sunray' (Dendrobium luteum x Dendrobium illustre). Blooms lasted barely 5 days.

Dare I suggest figuring out why they die?

I thought that's what flowers do, naturally, non?

Or does DD mean the whole plant?

Let's not speculate....

**dirtydog** · 20-06-2007, 05:33 PM

The whole plant, anyway found this one in what I call my front garden

Well, they're cheap, just keep buying.

We have a neighbor like that. Every few weeks I raid her rubbish bin and get perfectly fine plants on which she's given up because they don't have flowers any more or look dead.

^Oh, dear. Are we not manly enough for you?

**dirtydog** · 22-06-2007, 03:14 PM

That last one needs rotating clockwise I think.

I tried that but all the water spilled out....

Why do you think that?

I think it has good composition.

Taken at Bang Pa-In this afternoon.

Looking towards the Chinese styled "Heavenly Light" in the background.

**dirtydog** · 24-06-2007, 06:29 PM

Taken behind my place a few minutes ago

don't particularly like these ones though.

**dirtydog** · 24-06-2007, 06:30 PM

This is some Thai fruit or vegetable tree type thing, tiny little flowers though.

**themook** · 24-06-2007, 08:52 PM

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

**buad hai** · 24-06-2007, 09:41 PM

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?

**robin** · 25-06-2007, 01:06 AM

I think the yellow one is Pandorea.

**Propagator** · 25-06-2007, 03:19 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.

**buad hai** · 25-06-2007, 01:09 PM

Who, me? About what?

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, 06:21 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, 10:04 AM

Where is George, anyway?

**buad hai** · 26-06-2007, 10:08 AM

^George who?
