Wow that is so special.

That is such an amazing plant.

Mine woke up one morning and said Goodbye to me, sadly.

Lovely photo Ian, I hope you won't take offence though if I suggest that it would be more enjoyable if it was reduced considerably. It took 5 mins or so to load and we have broadband so many people may never get it downloaded!
Regards,
Heather

Point taken. I never thought of that. Ian

Yes Iam on Broadband too and find lots of the photos very hard to download.
Thats why I reduce mine in Paint manually so they fit the screen.
Ian 600x400 is a good size or 20cm X 14cms manually.
That way no one has to scroll up and down or back and forth.

A very clear Pic, and a striking plant. Well done .......Cheers..MM.

That certainly is a great picture. I love anything unusual or different looking
. Surprisingly, considering I'm on dial-up it didn't take long for me at all, less than a minute. Usually ones with multiple photos take 5mins or so.

Most graphics programs can resize or there are plenty of free resizers on the net that can be downloaded.

Ian, have you used irfanview.com .

It is a free and easy to use thing to resize your pictures.

Marion,

That flower is simply amazing...almost surreal. I love it!
Cheers,
Dee.

could you give us somewhere some brief details re the conditions for such success- like how much shade and your feeding? I have one hanging and dawdling under a mature peach tree and would like to plant it out.

Do not plant out. Leave in pot, do not change soil. This plant produces it's own bacteria. Leave in part shade at least 70%, keep it watered but not too much. Does not to be too dry or too wet.
Can collect the seed and raise.
The only feeding it gets is a squirt of kelp and powerfeed mixed together.
Hope this is of some help.
There is also a black and a green one.
Ian

Ian, my bat plant is very grateful you have saved it from being planted out, and thankyou from me--Florial

absolutely brilliant ian - love the plant and the photo

Hi Ian, Thank you for a spectacular photo, it didn't take long to download (miracle). I am giving one to my brother & wife & family for house warming gift (hope I havn't jinxed it). My brother has a green thumb so it should do well; thank you everyone for your hints. Sorry Marion for your loss. HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY everyone. Linda Sunshine Coast QLD
