nur, one of the 'common' names for portulaca is moss rose...

they readily re-seed, so, even if the plants were pulled up, i'm sure you'll see some growing come spring!

Hm.. Yes, I do hope so that when I go back to uni in January, I'll be seeing those pretty moss roses again. In Brunei, we don't have the four seasons. It's sunshine all year round, except for November till January, the rainy season.

Wow!!
Must be nice..
Can you tell us where is Brunei???
Just being curious?
I've never heard of it before?

Could number 7 be a buttercup? If you scroll down on that webpage to the pictures of the flower, you will see that it looks a lot like it!

Actually, you're not the first person to ask that question. Most of the people I meet online don't know where Brunei is.

Well, Brunei is located on the Borneo island, in Southeast Asia, a neighbouring country of Malaysia and Singapore.

Sunshine all year round may be nice, but I'd love to experience the four seasons! Perhaps, one day I will.

4 season's has it's pro's and con's..
Skiing's nice.. shoveling and the heat bill's aren't so nice..
but I know, over here down south, they have biting bugs and biting animals, that we don't have in the snowy, colder north and I don't think I could handle that..

Anyways..
How many plants/flowers do we have that are still NOT identified??

I'll see if Rugby, Papito or Donna/Gardencrazy know any of these.. they're very good guessers' also...

Well, I'd love to see flowers bloom in spring, snow in Winter, falling leaves in Autumn, and ... more flowers in Summer?

Four more flowers left to be identified: 3, 4, 6, and 7.

Thanks for your help, weezie13!

I've identified number 7! It's Merremia borneensis. I don't know its common name though. Searching for it right now.

That means, 3, 4, and 6 left.

i came up with mile-a-minute vine as the common name for that one.

could number 6 also be red ginger? i googled and i do see some pics that look pretty close to that one.

also, it's leaf is similar to the one that you have identified as red ginger - even if the flower is a bit different. there are numerous types of red ginger...

Hm.. Nope, I don't think it's mile-a-minute vine. The leaves, flower and genus are different. I don't think it has an English common name.

You're right about number 6 though. It's not of the same genus as Red Ginger, however. But it is in the Ginger family.

#6, check
Alpinia .

Watch for showy inflorescence.

Hi Nur

"Selamat berkenalan dari Norhaini di Malaysia..."

Hello Norhaini

Apa khabar?

Nice to meet you.

I believe that number 9 has been mis-tagged as a Peace lily ... I think it's actually an Anthurium.

Ooops, Frann...We can't see anything on the
link you posted...
Can you re~do it???

Ohh baik-baik saja! Gembira ada teman serumpun dalam forum ini!

Hi everyone soo sorry for this..wont go on long... just telling Nur that i m happy to see a member from da same side of da globe n around da same site...!!

Have a nice day!!

We love it, so, not a problem....enjoy seeing people get together and meet up..

frann, i too, did a double-take on #9.

i think it is a peace lily tho...the stamen is larger than for the anthurium. from what i can see of the leaves, they too, look like peace lily rather than anthurium.

It's a peace lily then.

Likewise, saya pun gembira!

Berapa ramai agaknya dari Malaysia atau Brunei kat forum ni. Hm...

As far s i know...just U n i!

The Anthurium link isn't working for me either now ... go figure.

Here's another ...
