It certainly has lovely markings and I like the flower, and its colour, just doesn't resemble zebra stripes!

Good job that I didn't name it then!!!!!
27 Jun, 2011
Easier to say than -aeschynanthus-marmoratus tho!
Naming plants would be rather a nice job!
Bat plant nice and simple!
27 Jun, 2011
I can spell it from memory too now!

I can spell bat plant from memory!!
I would have to work on aes-chy-nanthus then the marmoratus - reminds me of marmite!
28 Jun, 2011
Mmmmm, Marmite.......
28 Jun, 2011
Yes I love it. Real marmite baby!
28 Jun, 2011
But not Vegimite - yukkk!

It was a little gem, but is now becoming rather a large gem Milky!

very nice Meanie,

I've just passed (so dropped in) the "very expensive garden centre" where I got this from. They have some very nice Columnea arguta (£12) and Alsobia dianthiflora (£8.50) in.
28 Jun, 2011
Were you tempted to get one?
(btw never tried veggiemite)
28 Jun, 2011
Don't bother Sticki - it's kak!!
I am, but I'm waiting until the weekend to consider the choice. At the moment I'm leaning towards this one......

That is very nice, does it go outside? How big is it?
28 Jun, 2011
Deffo an indoor plant Sticki - it trails about 20cm'ish.
28 Jun, 2011
I like it! Very special little plant
28 Jun, 2011
As is the Columnea Sticki!

Well I rather like that too, trailing and with those spectacular flowers
28 Jun, 2011
out of the two Meanie i think that i prefer the Alsobia dianthiflora the white flower is spectacular !
28 Jun, 2011
Tough call eh!
The Columnea could trail a metre or more, not sure about the ultimate length of the Alsobia......
28 Jun, 2011
I do like the White one but I think I like the red better.
28 Jun, 2011
There you go then Sticki - treat yourself (again)!!!
28 Jun, 2011
Computer is broken - will have to replace that first!
28 Jun, 2011
Can it not be fixed?
29 Jun, 2011
Another beauty Meanie .. I,m beginning to think you live in Kew Gardens ...... BTW .. I love Marmite ..
29 Jun, 2011
Now that would be nice Amy!
29 Jun, 2011
Not sure meanie, it will cost a fair amount to find out and it might be better to put that money towards the new one, had this one quite a while, used it and filled it up, the buttons aren't working any more, worn out I think.
29 Jun, 2011
There comes a time I suppose.......
29 Jun, 2011
I think so. I have had my money's worth out of this one so it's not so bad!
Question is do I go for apple or normal?
29 Jun, 2011
That's a matter of taste (excuse the pun).
29 Jun, 2011
Will have to go shopping then and have a bit of a play!
