🐡 Bright orange flowers shaped like tiny goldfish with wings seem to hover in midair, suspended by cascading stems of velvety green foliage. The blooms pop out all along the trailing branches, creating the illusion of a school of flying fish!
🐡 Native to tropical cloud forests, Columnea loves humidity, filtered light, and showing off. Perfect for hanging baskets where it can spill and shimmer like a living waterfall of color. A total conversation piece you don't see every day!
🌵Selenicereus megalanthus - Yellow Pitaya, Dragon Fruit Palora, is the best tasting Dragon Fruit in the world that is not only sweet, it has a great flavor (unlike most pitayas that are pretty watery).

"With money, you can buy a bed, but not sleep; food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; servants, but not friends; women, but not love; a house, but not a home; entertainment, but not joy; teachers, but not wisdom." - Socrates (Scooby the Cat agrees!)
❓Q: What is the correct name – Mandevilla or Dipladenia? I see both names in garden centers, and they come in many colors. What color is Dipladenia and what is Mandevilla?
‼️ A: Both names are correct, and you’ll often see them used interchangeably - but they aren’t exactly the same. Mandevilla and Dipladenia are closely related, and with so many hybrids, the lines between them can blur.
🌺 Difference Between Mandevilla and Dipladenia
💋Mandevilla is a vigorous woody vine with large, stiff leaves. It’s ideal for vertical spaces like trellises and fences. 💋Dipladenia is a bushier, more compact plant with smaller, smoother leaves. While it can be trained on a trellis, it’s better suited for hanging baskets, pots, or as a specimen plant. 💋Both Mandevilla and Dipladenia come in a variety of colors - white, pink, red, and even yellow so color is not what distinguishes them. It's the growth habit and leaf type that set them apart.
