Sansevieria sambiranensis

I got it  from Out of Africa when they first started to sell them.

 Some times it does OK  but then it goes backwards and loses more leaves then it makes. 

I don't think I will ever see it flower.

If it is Sansevieria sambiranensis it should have red flowers.

 

Pseudobombax ellipticum

 or
some times it's called a shaving brush tree.

Flowering late winter or early spring with it's 5 inch flowers opening at night.

Leaves are first red turning green as they mature.

A winter deciduous tree and is drought tolerant, but does OK with our Florida rains.

 

It was getting to large so I cut it back last fall after it

dropped it's leaves. I've had this plant for about 30 some years.

You need two of them to get and seed. I only have one so no seed for me.

 

Tropiflora's 15th Spring Festival

I work at Tropiflora 2 weekends a year, the Spring and Fall sale Festival.
I job is just talk to people about plants.

The last few sales I say to my self I'm not going to buy any more plants, but that doesn't work.

Some time the plants they bring out I just have to bring home.
This sale I had to have a Navia arida  that was just $10 and then there was a Dyckia estevesii  looking plant for $4 now how can I pass on that?
