                              LongK, that Ipomea quamoclit is one of my favorites - such a shame its only an annual. 2018_06110001.JPG
                              Such a funny little flower on Calathea.

                              Jatropha podagrica. This lost all its leaves over the winter, inspite of a minimum temperature of 18C. But it has bounced back.
