honestly, i don't now much about common gardening plants... i only know what i grow... dude, there are so many plants out there... LOL...
hybrid hibiscus... go to that place in downey... they're like 6 bucks for a 5g container of them....
ferts don't matter... well, rose ferts might have bone meal and other rose food... since roses need perfect PH... but ferts are ferts... i use general 20-20-20 on all my plants... and i have rare orchids, rare airplants, succulents, cacti, and other stupid plants that all take the same thing... just don't burn them... LOL...

ugh, they no work...
anyways, here are some orchids you can grow anywhere that has shade... i grow these outside under trees and crap....
my sarracenia growing in full sun....
my ceropegia sandersonii vine in bloom....
some epiphyllum flowers from an ESA meet a couple months ago...
a cattleya orchid growing in semi hydroponics outside...
trichocereus hybrid... i think....
all of these plants are super easy to grow... they grow well in our climate... no special care really...

you can grow anything here... but it just takes a lot of work... i have some nice vandas that are growing like crap, but flowering and growing... but i need to water them 4 times a day when it's ultra hot... LMAO...
you been to the huntington library...? i was there last weekend, and in their greenhouse, a cocoa tree has a fruit... also a jack fruit and the giant vanilla orchid has a lot of flowers... it's amazing....
that's a vanilla bean orchid... not really a "fruit"... mine is about... 9 feet tall... but i'll probably never see a bean pod produced... unless i buy an enormous greenhouse... also, i've been trying to grow one for years, and this time is the first time it gets this big... but i'm sure it will die out in the winter like they all do...

yes it helps to have the control of a green house, unfortunately all the neighbors assume you are growing weed and I dont want the hassel. I lost the flowers on 10 orchids while we were away, a greenhouse would have made it easier, along with these dauym ferns my wife keeps killing.
yes vanilla is the fertilzed orchid uterus. I just want to taste some beans fresh off the plant. I synthesized some vanillin in organic chemistry lab in college- smelled good, tasted awful.
in the central american orchid conservatory, most of the naturally occurring wild orchid flowers were less than 5mm & had needed a magnifying glass to be seen. ill post pics later if im bored.
afterthought: on the topic of vanilla, I smelled some real Cohiba cigars ("La Habana, Cuba" that Fidel Castro smoked, not dominicans) and you can smell the addition of vanilla and cocoa
i'm working on clearing an area for a 10x20 greenhouse here... but, that too... i don't want to be flagged.. and it will be visible from the street, so i know i'm going to end up having some trespassers... or they might try to poison my dog again...
the huntington is so dope... but they just raised the price to get in from 25 to 29... it's way too expensive for what you get... but i love that place... i had some plants and some artwork at the south california cactus and succulent show there... maybe later on i'll buy a members ship... but i'm usually at the los angeles arboretum... at least twice a week... they have an impressive greenhouse too... right now we're reconstructing the epiphyllum/epiphytic cactus display... i want to get rid of a ton of crap, but i have to do it slowly... the guy's there are jerks... but whatever.. soon....
i can't keep ferns alive either... or other common house plants... right now i have a ton of african violets i picked up from a friend, and they aren't looking so good... LOL... i have about 30 different species of bromeliads that have to be potted and planted too... i want them under my vanda orchids, and tillandsia... they need high humidity, and supposedly, bromeliads can help with that....
oh, and i have some orchids with tiny *** flowers... let me find a pic....
the pot is about 1" in diameter... crazy right..?

I ordered some different types of daylilies to start on the perimeter. I'll slowly add to the wish list.
LOL, its going against the back wall. That's good advice though, that old fence wood had lots of evidence of old termite damage.
Some have ant farms Cody has a Termite Farm Keep it a little off the house!
Keep it a little off the house!
