Early Autumn Downunder - Calathea veitchiana on show

Fantastic large one. Mine died very early, here they can be grown only inside.

I have this indoors, but it never really did anything...

That's a shame, Katarina. Mine grows outdoors in the shadehouse and seems to love it out there.

Motinot, mine loves the humidity, the heat and the partial sunshine out in the shadehouse. It has the most unusual looking flowers too.

You're welcome, Marguerite. I'm glad to help. The Calatheas are such brilliant plants. I really should get a few more!

The range is simply amazing isn't it? At the moment I only have two. Time to increase that number I think.

Lol, yes I've tried taking close-ups of the flowers. It's not easy!
