Angie:
Sorry to say I know him!

Did you get this from Professor Pomona Sprout of Hogwarts? ;D
-
Angie, you treat him well, that's for sure ;D

Sorry about the mess I made of the posting, I had to change computer but I thought it was so funny when I noticed the face, one of my mums old plants.
Some plants disappoint us with not flowering but this one is trying hard to have me keep him. I don't know anything about the plant the nursery name is clear but the plant name is not, anyway it makes me smile if nothing else.

Anthony no mums anymore :'( ;) but if anyone wants to adopt me they can :D
As you see on this forum I still need plenty of help.
Hans thanks, will have a look and see if I can identify this plant, the label is worn but the first letters that I can make out are Ferrardan.../ebatus and after that the letters are missing, it's very faint so even these might be wrong.

Maybe :
Gerradanthus macrorrhizus ?
Please look at the pics in this website

Hi Hans, that does look like it, can't explain were that label came from.
I hope some of the plants that I have found homes for have the correct name, but if not sorry folks.

It could be Gerrardanthus lobatus!

Alberto I think you are right. I have had a look at the label again it looked as if it started with a F to me and the the last few letters were faint so I couldn't make them out. The second word looked like ebatus to me but now that you have given me the right name I can figure it out.
In the picture it shows male and female flowers is it hard to get to flower.
Thanks for the ID I thought maybe my mum had mixed the labels up.

Diane I love it , now when I look at the plant I shall expect it to speak to me.
You must be really good with computers it takes me all my time to resize and post a picture.
I have emailed it to all my friends, they will love it.
Thanks for making me laugh.

Shucks! He is Sooooo cute.... I've heard of talking to your plants but how much fun would it be if they all spoke back?
Diane, the diversity of your talents never ceases to amaze me- well done! ;D
-
Maggi no wonder Diane grows amazing plants if she can make my plant do that what else can she do.
Only one problem when Lola comes over she will want me to make the plant talk. ;D how do you explain to a 9 month old plants don't talk :-\

I've just stumbled across this thread. Fantastic plant Angie - I hope you don't mind but I have borrowed your picture to amuse the members on my jungle plant forum.
Diane - that's brilliant. ;D 8)

John glad you liked it. I was amazed at what Diane managed to do. When I go into the greenhouse I look at it every time and laugh to myself. It's great ;D
