What a beautiful rose

Beautiful combination of shades

Love the colour of this one

I have a Lantana but it's an all white one

Wonderful colour mix

Cool jumper!! Do they do them in people sizes? :o )

Lilliums are a HUGE favourite of mine !!! :-)

mmmm another lovely colour, asiatic lilies like this one are not common in the UK, our are usually bog standard orange or yellow. i have quite a few different varies of oriental lilies in my garden as they seem to withstand the red lily beetle better - do you get the red lily beetle in the States they are a royal pain in the rear end! lol no sprays seem to touch them.

another lovely rose!

i do love roses, i planted 8 last year, and i am still waiting for one to be delivered from the David Austin web site - its a blue one so really looking forward to seeing that one in action!

glad to be of some help Doglet!

mmmmm.... i just looked up Grevillea robusta, and you could be right on this spritz. apparently the tell tale sign of this is the underside of the leaf is silky, hense the common name 'silk oak' so Doglet, is the underside of the leaf silky? if so i would agree with spritz and say Grevillea. if not then could be my first saggestion. if it is Grevillea it needs to be a bit dryer than the fern. the picture i have of the fern is not a photo, but it does look very much like your plant and also the picture i have of the Grevillea. if you are still not sure after checking the underside of the leaf you could always try typing both of the botanical names in google and see what pictures and info come up. thats what i do if i get really stuck. good luck with it.

It does look like a Grevillea robusta, but I am not familiar with it, I've just looked it up in my House plant book. Do you want any other info on it?

Well, majeeka - I don't agree with you on this one. I think it might be a Grevillea robusta as in the previous answer - but you are usually right... Welcome, Doglet, to GoY. Hope you enjoy the site!

ha-ha! are you by any chance in the U.S.? because i think i have just found it. i am in the U.K. and it is a plant not often seen here but more common in the States. i think you have a Cibotium schiedei. which is a type of fern. as it is not one i know myself so i will just relay what it says in my book:

Extremely graceful with arching fronds and capable of producing an 8ft trunk (obviously would have to be in a very big pot for this to happen!) indirect sunlight. does not like to much shade or sun, somewhere inbetween. compost to be kept moist at all times do not allow to dry out. needs air humidity - bathroom ideal or misting daily. average temp 60 - 70 F. hope this helps!

hi Doglet, i must admit it's not one i know! - which is unusal for me being a florist, usually pretty good with the house plants, it looks like some kind of fern, i will consult my books shortly and see if i can find it for you. but judging by the pic i would say that whatever it is in need to be repotted, you should find this will give it a new lease of life. i'll get back to ya! - and love the cute pic Doglet, how sweet!

it look,s like Grevillea robusta.
