Raymone's Plant du Jour - Physostegia correllii
Physostegia correllii is a new arrival at the CB. Monsieur Red hasn't taught it to talk yet. We have two plants currently ensconced in a temporary habitat area that requires daily attention, watering, to keep them from dying. They like lots of water.
The two we have were branches on their parent plant six weeks or so ago. Now they're big plants about two feet tall. That would indicate that Physostegia correllii can be readily propagated from cuttings. No matter that I have produced thousands of baby plants from cuttings, I am always amazed every time the process actually works. It's like getting cool plants for free, almost, with almost no work, almost.
Anyway, these cuttings that are now regular plants were made from wild plants recently.
The pictures around here somewhere show the new infloresence with the very first P. correllii flower ever seen at the CB.
The second is a closeup. I kept trying to find the stamens when I took the close up picture, but finally gave up. Where are the stamens?
