Default First ping flower

My first and only ping (Ping. primuliflora) has decided to give me 1 bloom.. I think its quite cute, although the flower is pretty simple. BTW, do pings die back after flowering? I hope it doesn't..

And the 'terrarium' its growing in, with a few begonias, orchids, 1 bromeliad, Drosera adalae, a pink raff, and a green Nep. sanguinea..

Ken, there are 2 main types of begonias. Flowering begonias, which can have single or multilayered flowers, and foliage begonias, which are grown for their leaves. I grow foliage begonias, most are descendants from Begonia rex. Begonias are pretty interesting as they can grow from their leaves. Just take an old leaf and stick it into a pot of soil, and pretty soon you'll get a new plant (just like African violets). Oh, either you mean the staghorn fern (Platycerium, which is an epiphyte) or the fishtail fern (genus Microsorium, which has leaves that grow upward)..

Hi

So those heart shaped fleshy leaf plant are foliage begonias??? Or are they a little hard to find? Anyways the lady at the jusco department said in malay that is deer horn something so thats why i thought it was a staghorn fern but when i search for that fern the staghorn has leaves facing down while the one i saw has a green "base" which covers 90% of the pot and 2 leabes facing side to upwards...Can they take funn sun? Cos they look neat and might give a little more tropical look :D

Generally speaking no. Of course if any plant is stressed prior to flowering than it could lead to a set back or death of the plant. Your plant looks very healthy in the picture so I wouldn't worry about it. Those of my pi9ng's that flowered this year have doubled in sizr since finishing flowering.

Weser goes dormant. When it is dormant you can use the noncarnivorous leaves to propagate your plant. It goes dormant and flowers in the winter.
