Orange Assault . Day 42 . Again this time I topped up the soil , I like to do this around this time , I find the top layer of roots will grow into the soil , the soil I used is from my worms bins so it will get a nice kick of microbes . And again all I am doing is leaf tucking and I trimmed so lower stuff of that was not needed . [emoji106]

@hecno .... I missed this earlier = That bromeliad flower spike is awesome! When you can, get some closer pics if you please,....

 

[hecno]

Here ya go mate . @Waira Towards the end of the wet season is a great time for the garden , all sorts happening .

 

[hecno]

And @bushmasterar15 I already have one thank you .

 

[Waira]

Aaaaaawh yeah! There's nothing like a bromeliad spike for sheer color richness! It's like they are made of plastic,... bloody excellent mate .... what color are the flowers, purple,..yellow? I can't quite tell,... I guess it's during the dry season that those bromie's turn orangey?
Super nice alocasia, and what's the name of the lovely colored one in the pic below the spike again, I forget?
.... wow, that bamboo clump as blown up a ton since I last saw! I'm amazed that it hasn't spread like crazy, or are you beating it back as new leads emerge?
....dig those ferns too mate- .... above them there, with the strap leaves, an orchid? .... I see a nice pencil orchid,... dude, mine took a total dive, and I have zero idea WTF happened! -- it just shut down and browned out,...
.... oooo, what a color bomb that small plant is, whom dat?
... orchid hut looks great Hec', can't wait for blooms! Say, that's that trailing little coin-leaf plant, a type of dischidia? Has it made the balloon houses for the ants yet?


a lovely tour through Hec' Gardens again!

Lotta scrotum in the last couple pages I love you guys
What a tropical paradise Hecno, and your gals look mighty fine too.

Seems like I might be onto something here . I think it is going to be worth while spending some time on . -- Turkey soil update --- I'll repost pics .11 days since planted in the soil , I know it is early days yet . Water holding capacity is great without being water logged . When I water I only use Fish pond water not ph'ed as it is around 6. 4 give or take a point or 2 .

This is a Mango Loas . One thing that doe's concern me is nitrogen levels , at this stage the FPW seems to be working -- ok -- @Eyes on Fire @Waira you guys got any thoughts on this . I am thinking this is very close to -- Back to Eden principle .--

and Waira , the little dangly round leaf plants we call a button orchard , but they are not , they have tiny white flowers and hang out of trees and can get real big . Don't know the name of the other plant. I'm afraid I don't take much notice of names . The bromeliad goes a red colour from being in full sun , doe's not hurt the plant , these big fellas are very hardy .
