I like the plant as such: it grows to monster size with the years. I have some of them in my gh as companions for my mounted catts and relatives. Till. usneoides easily gorws down to the gh-floor. But the event occurs when the plant flowers: you smell a really lovely fragrance, first not knowing where it comes from

! the blooms are so tiny!! 2-4 mm ! Jean

Jean - is this in the family that we would commonly call Spanish Moss?
If so, I didn't know it had a fragrance but then again I don't live in the south!

I like it!

Wild spanish moss has some of the nastiest bugs you can ever bring into your house!

**wMceqj7F** · 02-26-2009, 10:01 PM

Hmmm .... sounds like you found out the hard way?

I have Spanish Moss growing in my greenhouse for several years now. It was used as a top dressing on a plant that I bought at an orchid show eyars ago. It's been growing nicely ever since! I haven't noticed flowers on it though, but there have been times when I've detected a fragrance but couldn't locate its source.

This is a very interesting thread.. How did I miss it? I agree that rafflesia is one of the weirdest plants on Earth, but my personal choice for most mysterious plant goes to the desert plant Welwitschia mirabilis. Really looks like a face-sucking alien species..

OMG!

Iconoclastic musicianws who almost single-handedly created 'punk music'!!!

The only thing mysterious about this is how close it was growing
to the coral root, within 12 ft. Spiranthes??

Two seperate plants, the latter was trampled but was easy to photograph
with the wind blowing. Thanks for looking.

Nice, I hope they're in a private/protected area.
