Finally - the first image on Internet: rare ginger Borneo Pink (New Guinea)

😱 Finally - the first image on Internet: rare ginger Borneo Pink (New Guinea)

  • ❤️ Riedelia coralina - Coral Ginger Borneo Pink (New Guinea)

  • ❤️ This super rare ginger finally bloomed for us! We grew this rare specimen from seeds form the collection of Mark Hooten, S. Florida horticulturist. The species close related to Burbidgea. Riedelia coralina is so rare that published information about this exact species is extremely hard to find. Most references to it appear in specialized collector circles rather than in widely available horticultural or botanical literature.

  • ❤️ We have only a few plants, ginger collectors, hurry up!

It is so rare you can't even find images on Internet. This will be the first one!

Why Red Cactus is better than Christmas Cactus

Red Rhipsalis (Rhipsalis ramulosa)

😡 Why Red Cactus is better than Christmas Cactus
  • ⛔️ Everybody wants this plant when they see it! Red Rhipsalis (Rhipsalis ramulosa) is a show-stopper with its arched, flat stems that cascade into a pendant display. When exposed to bright light, the stems turn a stunning violet-red, adding a vibrant pop of color to your space.
  • ⛔️ Flat, ribbon-like stems deepen to violet-red in high light. Tiny flowers and ornamental shell-like berries line the edges for an extra decorative touch.

  • ⛔️ Looking for a unique and low-maintenance plant? Whether indoors in a pot or outdoors as a garden accent, Red Rhipsalis brings a touch of the exotic with minimal effort. Its vibrant stems and easy care make it a must-have for any plant lover!
