Hmpf.. Who you calling fictitious?

My name is Spider Ham (aka Peter Porker) and I am from the multiverse universe(s) of Spider-Man!

Tiny bit of my background: I am in a cartoon animal parody version of Spider-Man and have my own comic book series. I’m also a star in the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse movie! So there.. So much for being fake. ;-)

Created for Happy Macro Monday theme = “Fictitious”. Hope you enjoy. HMM!

Aphelandra Squarrosa is a native from Brazil. Dark, blackish-green glossy leaves with white veins give the zebra plant its name. Just for its foliage alone, it’s a delight to grow!

But when it blooms, it absolutely shines. From a bract that’s yellow or orange in coloration explodes many yellow blossoms. These flower spikes can reach up to 4″ in length and are beautiful.

Originating in southern Brazil, aphelandra squarrosa is truly a jungle plant. It likes the humid climate and covered conditions found in that habitat. In its natural environment, it can act as a climbing plant, but in containers it usually stays under 2′ tall.

It can be quite a feat to coax the zebra plant into flowering, with at most two flowering sessions a year. Still, even when it’s not in bloom it’s lovely, and well worth the effort!

I can’t wait for this little guy to grow up!
