🐸 Botanical oddball - an alien ribbon plant with a sense of humor

🐍 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.
