Names of Plants

Post by StevePIraq »

I have a few plants in the garden and do not know the name, any guru's here who can help

First one has the hanging root type plants, no idea what they are, grow so easy
Also larger round fruit like pomelo, but they aren't pomelo and when cut open they are dark brown and stink

No idea about the tree but the pot plant is (I think) a desert rose - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenium_obesum

The air plant is also known as Spanish Moss.

The flowering plant is known as Adenium Obesum or Desert Rose. If you get seeds from the plant they are very easy to germinate on wet tissue, only takes a few days and can transplant straight into a pot.

The fruit tree I did not know, my Mrs told me the name, it's from the same family as the Calabash or Bottle Gourd.

Looked it up more, definitely the Calabash, really ornate and quite a talking piece.
I must look out for that book,
