plants 1 looks like weeping moss and plant 2 lokos like 5colour lotus

[Simon]

I'm not unfamiliar with moss so shall not comment, but the lotus looks like the queen of siam

[StanChung]

weeping moss may be it, and queen of siam too for lotus but don't think it's 5 colour lotus aka rainbow lotus. thanks guys. there's one more lotus from thailand that has no name yet. there's one in NA. i got a pix here.

this plant is queen of siam... the yellow lotus one remains unknown. anyone?

yeah, look like weeping moss from the way the new shoots grow. But the pic is tad too small for positive id.

agree pix is tiny. but this forum only allow 100k upload. .
had to resize umpteen times. maybe can double size quota eh?


i found out queen of siam is the red lotus i posted later. the yellow lotus remains a mystery.

The red lotus does not look like 'Queen of siam'. Look more like a rubra.

erm, i assure you its not rubra.this one cost 5 to 8 times more.


if only i have a better pix, you will see that it has rounded leaves. lotus rubra has more 'spade' leaf shape.

for the yellow lotus, i went back to shop and shop guy confirm is queen of siam. the red one i think is queen of siam sp on steroids. .

anyway whatever the plant, thanks guys for the comments.
