- 👸 The most beautiful Ginger flower, in our opinion, is Costus fissiligulatus - African Princess, or Cameroon Costus - an amazing flowering Ginger from Gabon in West Africa.
- 👸 Dazzling pink trumpet flower with a yellow throat. It is very floriferous with an inflorescence of numerous flower buds.
- 👸 Low-growing plant only 3-4 ft that stands very erect.
- 👸 Easy grower with similar growing requirements to other gingers.

- 🌹 Our Quisqualis vine - Rangoon Creeper - has grown over a roof of our water treatment system (which wasn't the prettiest view!). Now every time we pass by we have to "stop and smell the roses". It is so beautiful, and it does smell like roses!
- 🌹 It's scent is unforgettable, fruity and intoxicating... The flowers are born in clusters and each flower has many variations of color, depending on how old the flower is.

- 🚩 Aphelandra is hands down one of the best solutions for a shade garden where you want to see more colors. It is a great addition to a collectible tropical butterfly garden, can grow into 4-5" tall bushy specimen. Tolerates both sun and shade.
- 🚩Aphelandras have beautiful lush foliage and showy, long terminal inflorescences throughout the warm season.
- 🚩These flowers are loved by hummingbirds.
- 🚩Aphelandra hartwegiana - Yellow Aphelandra. Yellow flowers emerge out of long orange stalks in the fall time. Pretty and unusual!
- 🚩Aphelandra squarrosa Dania (Snow White) - White Zebra Plant. It is also one of the best house plants, not only pretty because of its white-veined "Zebra" foliage, but also for the apical inflorescence with its beautiful yellow bracts.
- 🚩Aphelandra sinclairiana - Panama Queen, has extremely tropical look and fragrant flowers of unusual color combination: orange and pink.
- 🚩Aphelandra x panamensis - Scarlet Candle - a rare hybrid with bright red flowers
