    No names for the plants in the Botanic gardens? Do the curators have a list you can access? That is a beauty. Hope you can find someone to help you identify the species/crosses. Thanks for posting the pics.

    Most of the plants have a tag with its name, but many, specially in the greenhouse area, don't. And some have a tag but it's hidden and out of reach. Not to mention there is a good number of mistakes in the identifications.
    I'm afraid not.
    Thanks to you for your kind comments.

    Love learning new plants and seeing what others are seeing and doing Jfdocampo; I really do appreciate what others are posting and showing here. Many of the plants I have not grown or haven't even heard of. I did work in a Botanic Garden and it is true that sometimes people will donate plants, or someone dies and will leave a collection etc; quite often they may not have the correct name or label. Also people are always stealing labels. I hoped you might find a good horticulturalist at the gardens there who would help you.
