new in the garden
Goldfish plant (Nematanthus gregarius)
From Southern Mexico and Brazil-- waxy green leaves and orange pouched flowers
Basically a house plant, but seems to be flourishing on my porch in spring and summer
Nun's Orchid (Phalus tankervilliae)
Named for its hooded flower, the flowerstalks can be 4 feet tall, and the leaves remind me of aspidistra. A native of China that can be planted in the ground in warm climates----the fragrance is delightful.
When viewed from above the tops of the flowers are white, but when I shot a photo from below the rich dark maroon and brown of the interior made it seem a different flower.

oops! I did it again!
Bought too many pepper plants!
o--well--they're fun to grow and great for picking when you need them.
