It's good to have learned about native plants.Plant Chaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07932623233690291133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006842863015422785.post-89074670164729379912011-02-18T06:47:33.175+08:002011-02-18T06:47:33.175+08:00Nice to know that awareness about the ornamental ...Nice to know that awareness about the ornamental use and conservation of Philippine native species is growing. I know it's sometimes a double edged sword when promoting native plants (as you've mentioned in an earlier post). Maybe to reduce pillaging of the forest, we may need a government entity that would not only provide planting materials at low cost but would also regulate the sale of species with potential ornamental value (esp. the critically endangered ones). It may be difficult to implement in the Philippines but has been done in other countries.Orvillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01082380694467273160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006842863015422785.post-70897586885306411052011-02-17T22:21:45.455+08:002011-02-17T22:21:45.455+08:00The one with red berries grown in Baguio is I beli...The one with red berries grown in Baguio is I believe a Chinese/ Japanese native - Ardisia crenata. Tagpo is Ardisia squamulosa, with pinkish, violet flowers. Pungapung is collectively used for Amorphophallus. I am not sure which is more common but the one we used for the landscape was paenifolius.metscaperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05648670389826317897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006842863015422785.post-11975665601279725122011-02-17T15:13:09.989+08:002011-02-17T15:13:09.989+08:00Hi, i was there the last Saturday and saw your nam...Hi, i was there the last Saturday and saw your name. I learned from that booth and learned also we have some endemics in our property in the province. May i know if the money tree being sold here in MM(those with lots of red berries)is also Ardizia? We have tagpo and it doesn't look like that. Also i thought that pungapong is Amorphophallus campanulatus, does it mean the species is already changed? thanks.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.com
