Callisia fragrans
|
|
| This is a tropical semi-epiphyte (grows mainly in trees, but will root in soil). Individual leaf rosettes may be 8" wide at the center stalk. Snaking out from the stalk are runners that trail as much as several feet to find a new place to root. Fragrant white globular flowers on upright spikes bloom in summer, then fade and lose their fragrance....then perk up and become fragrant again, then fade again, then perk up..... We have only had it flower once in the several years we've had it, but flowering or not, it would be pretty spectacular hanging from a tree in a shady spot in the greenhouse, or in a hanging basket as a houseplant. Folks would then mistake your apartment for a jungle treehouse in Hondouras. | |
