Plants growing outside

Hi, just showing you a couple of plants growing outside. One orchid and one Clivia but both growing well where they are:

Dendrobium kingianum just under a pergola with sometimes full sun and sometimes shade, grows alongside the Tasmanian Tree Ferns, freezing to hot. This plant can take it all.






Yellow Clivia, in a sheltered spot and gets a bit chewed but otherwise happy, might have to repot it this year:

Never heard of a Clivia until now, I think I like it! But maybe you might want to crop your last picture a bit. The person off to the left might not like his or her rear end presenting!

Hi, Never have I seen a yellow Clivia. Here in CA I have only seen ones with salmon colored blooms. Very pretty!

Those are beautiful. I popped a seed pod off an orange clivia, but none took.

Beautiful! If I showed these pics to my wife, I might be able to buy more orchids...

Nice Staghorn fern, by the way.

The Clivias are beautiful too! I have the orange ones, but they are a snail magnet. Now you see them, now you don't...
