Like fat-tongued green gummy bears, these are quite easy to grow. Except for reducing the quantity of water while dormant during overly hot periods or during the short, dark days of winter, they enjoy moderate water with good drainage. The leaves will vary considerably depending on the conditions under which they are grown.
For those for whom Greek is "Greek" (like me, though I studied "Koine" Greek many (many) years ago, so I do have a little advantage.), the genus name comes from γλωττίς (glottis), meaning "tongue" and φύλλον (Phyllon), "leaf", thus "Tongue Leaf". [Aren't those botanists clever? Who'ld a thought it?]
Hola Lutero sencillamente maravillosa estas hermosas flores, nunca había visto algo así, muchos saludos y espero que estés bien.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Marisol. Doing fine, just overwhelmed with too much work that needs to be done. Therefore, next week we're going to spend a night at the Oregon coast for a change of pace...watching the surf, walking the beach, reading, having a latte at the local espresso shop...Oh my, I can hardly wait!
ReplyDeleteMy greetings and best wishes to all.
