Do yourselves a favor ande checkout all the Gorden M. Gee botanical prints at:
http:/christchurchcitylibraries.com/DigitalCollection/Illustrations/Gee/

They even includes tips on printing the pics

how'd you ever find this place, Scott?

Phil, I was doing a little Cordyline research and found the Crotons. I thought the Croton Heads would enjoy the illustrations. I need now to restock the ink in my color printer and print the pictures.

Anyone know if the Gigantea Rosea is still around? With another name perhaps?

I know this has been discussed before. It was mentioned prior that "WTF" could possibly be Strawberry. Based on the description, some said no. Only a black & white photo was found in Exotica. Now Scott has dug up this illustrated colored print of Strawberry. Based upon Scott's finding, perhaps the discussion may be worthy of being reopened?

Moose, I am really really bad at the ID thing.IMO I do not think "WTF" looks like Strawberry.

Scott - you should post these illustrations om Palm Talk. They love old prints, drawings and illustrations regarding plants.
