- 🐍 Homalocladium platycladum - Centipede Fern, Tapeworm Ribbonbush that we mentioned earlier - this leafless wonder grows long, flat, jointed stems that look like green ribbons or, yes, tapeworms. But here's the twist: it also produces charming little flowers that surprise anyone expecting nothing but weird stems!
- 🐍 Low-maintenance and high-impact, it thrives indoors or out, in bright shade to partial sun.
- 🐍 The flowers are real! Tiny, greenish-white to pink blooms appear along the joints - subtle but fascinating.
- 🐍 Conversation piece? 100%. Whether in a pot or in the ground, people will ask what it is - and you’ll love telling them.
- 🐍 If you like your plants with a sense of humor and mystery, this one is for you.

🌈 Golden Queen enormous Thai Mango with many names and one big reputation
Mango Kiew Yai - has many names! It is also known as Khaew Yai, Khao Yai, Kiew Yai, Cat Saigon, or Jin Huang, Golden Queen... It is a semi-dwarf mango originally from Taiwan, prized in Thailand for eating green or pickled. It is a cross between Ivory and Keitt, producing enormous, very ornamental fruit - firm, fiberless, and sweet, with floral and honey notes. It stays mostly green with a pink or yellow blush depending on climate. A late-season variety in Florida, ripening August to September. The tree has a vertical, dense canopy and strong anthracnose resistance, making it a great backyard pick.

It's not your typical bonsai tree - it's a conversation piece that looks like something from a fantasy world! With a little patience, it becomes a living sculpture that blooms with flair.
- Start with young plant with a fat trunk (caudex) and interesting shape.
- Use shallow pot with fast-draining cactus mix.
- Prune branches to create structure and shape.
- Trim roots gently when repotting every 2-3 years.
- Water well during growing season, keep almost dry in winter.
- Give full sun to keep compact and encourage blooms.
- Fertilize lightly: with slow release plant food in spring-summer or year around with liquid fertilizer like Sunshine Boosters.
- Be patient - bonsai is a slow grower but worth it for the amazing flowers.
