I used to spend many hours with a friend, trying to clear near Botanical Beach The other two, I don't recognize .... (memory fading) ......... we'd better be careful, these are not Thai flowers!.... eh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So keep the bloomin roses coming ! You guys in the north can grow roses so much better than down here in the south... the red ones I pictured above are the only variety that does reasonable well here at sea level!... but it's a variety I never seem to be able to find in the garden shops!

Goshawk Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 ...keep the bloomin roses coming ! yep Jim.. the Roses seem to do very well at higher altitudes. This one with its central flower & 3 surrounding buds is apparently a prize bred variety.... Doh! the name evades me.

samuijimmy Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Here is one red one, I had a few years ago, out of a dozen or so different roses I have purchased here... only one has survived .... it's a wishy washy pink! Here is one growing at a higher elevation here on Samui,(new Lamai Temple) the slightly more cooler temps up there, do make a difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robby nz Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 In the wildest part of a botanical garden I was looking around in today. Quite a lot of them around, grow on a shrub about 2 m tall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuijimmy Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 In the wildest part of a botanical garden I was looking around in today. flower.JPG Quite a lot of them around, grow on a shrub about 2 m tall. I've always thought that flower above looks quite attractive, Robby, one sees it growing wild around Samui, but when suggesting to my Thai neighbours, that it would look nice in the garden they always say no! .... Perhaps too much of a weed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby nz Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 All the others that I could see on the tree were plain red. But I liked this one best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuijimmy Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 Here is an unusual flower / plant found on Samui today.... anyone any idea of what it might be? Potted... Inside.... I am wondering if it will smell like rotted meat this evening.... The finder... one thing I know he will do his best to look after it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuijimmy Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 So the plant above is an Arum, some bloom only five to seven years! This I took off CBS evening news, (USA) it happened to make the news the day after I took the shots of the Samui cousin of this plant! This one grows to about 8 feet! Native to Indonesia!
