Thanks Julie. The world has become a small place. Some species moving to other continents for commercial reasons, but too often by "accident" and sometimes with very negative consequences!
Best.

Indeed, we have more than our share of invasive, "foreign" critters and plants here!

Think this just creeps into intermediate size range, Balloon plant flower and its much larger seed pod, Pentax KP & SMC D-FA 50mm f2.8 Macro and Pentax KP & Voigtlander 90mm F3.5 APO Lanthar SL respectively;

Yet another clerodendrum... this is Clerodendrum quadriloculare. Jawbreaker name, indeed. Mostly large shrubs but they can get to be small trees, very ornamental with dark green foliage, purple on the undersides of the leaves. Winter blooming, the individual flowers are only about an inch (2.5cm) across, on very long pedicels in a very showy cluster. Gorgeous thing, but like many clerodendrums, it can be very invasive, sprouts new plants from the roots. I find little ones all across the property, yards and yards from the adult plants. Common names for it are "popcorn" and "shooting star"...

This is "shell" ginger, Alpinia zerumbet. Only a couple of the flowers are actually open, these are the buds. Flowers are red and yellow on the inside. Plants are quite tall and leafy, very tropical-looking...

The lawn weeds are partying... two different Oxalis (sorrel), in different parts of the yard. The pink flowered one is (I think) Oxalis debilis, and the yellow flowered one is Oxalis stricta. Not 100% sure of either, as there are many dozens of species infesting lawns everywhere, but these two are common in Florida...

Yet another Dendrobium orchid...this one is Den. aphyllum (in cultivation, Den. pierardii). "Aphyllum" means "without leaves", the plants are deciduous during their dormant phase, and bloom from leafless stems as they come out of dormancy. Closely related to several of the other Dendrobiums posted recently. Sweetly fragrant, too...
