yes I have been tempted with anthuriums.....may colours to choose but a bit plastic looking still,just havn't got the right spot,think they look good with a minimilist landscaping. Peace lillies what do these look like, I like the sentiment :flower:

They look a bit like (all) white anthuriums. Abundant, showy foliage.
Easy care but don't over-water. They do well in very little light (north or east window) or on a shady patio once temps stay above 40┬░C

Where's Gaybutton when you need him?
I believe he's working on his autobiography, to be called "Memoirs of a Grand Ayatollah"Originally Posted by boygeenyus
It's gone from moons to flowers to gaybutton and the ads at the bottoms are for Jupiter's finest florests.
Are you sure about that (book) title?
I thought it was: A House Is Not a Home? Who Needs a House! I Was an Internet Madam.
Aah Spathyphylum, yes I like very much. I went "peace lily" mad last year,planting shimmering pools of them beneath all the trees. Inspired by some planting at the Hyatt on Bali. Lovely things, sadly they did not take to the wet season here or the fruit bats that dropped vast quantities of rotten guavas all over them, fell over one by one, root rot! So much for giving peace a try. :blackeye: Working on a substitute though. For extended flowering season they really are very hard to beat.
This heat is sapping my energy, it's 36%C with 90% humidity tonight. I am even too hot to sleep. The dog caught a Rednecked keel-back snake. Frogs fucking rejoice, between the frogs and the heat I think I will have no sleep at all. Might catch some football later down Mong Kok or Hung Hom. I kid you not.
