Author Topic: What plants are these? photo links only Nur Great Gardener Member # 11471 posted                       Hello I've a few plants that need identification. Here's the URL: http://picasaweb.google.com/Hafizah287/Plants Pictures 2 to 5.

Posts: 63 | From: Brunei | Registered: Dec 2006  |  Logged: 61.6.196.190 Nur Great Gardener Member # 11471 posted                       My guess is picture 3 is a type of fern. But what fern could it be?

It's not one of the 50 - 60 that I have, though, so I could tell you what it's not. I would venture, though, that *IF* it is a fern it's an epiphyte... #4 looks like some of the clover that grows in my yard, but, again, I couldn't tell you what, exactly, it is. Mine are about 3" across. #6, 7, & 8 look to be a kind of pitcher plant, which is carnivourous, so feel free to keep it in the kitchen if you have gnats about the fuit bowl, and it should be quite happy with you.

Diane has a great thread on them up in House Plants and has a lot of great info on them. Thanks to her mine is doing great! bbbbbbbbb We are all under the same stars... therefore we are never far apart.

I don't think the one in my photo has tuberous roots, because I saw some growing between fine cracks of the floor. Hm...

Actually, I posted a link in the 'Carnivorous Insectivores' section to get the species identified.

Also know as oxalis. This plant will eventually have little pink flowers. It is also sold in the stores as Shamrock. bbbbbbbbb Carla Posts: 28 | From: Georgia | Registered: Jun 2006  |  Logged: 64.39.150.18 Nur Great Gardener Member # 11471 posted                       Thanks, flowerguesser! Yup, it has been confirmed to be Oxalis. This one though, has yellow flowers. Posts: 63 | From: Brunei | Registered: Dec 2006  |  Logged: 61.6.196.50
