What's looking Exotic 2025

Mine are struggling, not sure why.
I'm hoping they will pick up if we get some warmer weather, they are outside now, its live or die for them.

 

I have the pair which Sis started in Germany and brought to me c 2006/7 ...



One thrived, the other almost died. I figured it was in too much shade (of the Iochroma and Jacaranda.) So moved it to The hothouse of The Courtyard where it has now thrived and blooming also.

 

I cant do much about cloudy days.

 

I know ... Just thought I'd share that bit of trivia.

 

Jacaranda mimosifolia ...





Sorry, I can't get a photo of the blooms.

 

Of course you can, there's an electric pole right next to it, just a matter of shining up it will a camera.

 

Why did I know you might suggest that ... but shimmying might be easier than shining ...

Here is the other Jacaranda with Van's house which won't flower this year...

 

The Pomegranate is flowering the best I've ever known.


Double BoP.

 

They are gorgeous. And you have a Double BoP too this year!. I saw a Yellow one recently for sale.

 

I think the yellow one might be called Mandella's gold.

 

Managed to get a nerium oleander to flower this year, not sure why I always struggle with these.


Not sure how exotic but probably slightly C. lucifer.


Passion flower.


Yucca filamentosa.

 

Gorgeous oleander @pete !
Which passion flower is it please?

 

Brugmansia Grand Marnier (from @pete)

 

My Grand Mariner is the only one blooming but not much. They take a break in the Summer here and do best Autumn/Winter.

 

I think it's called Victoria.
But a lot of them seem to have a couple of different names I find.

Just thought I'd mention, those pink oleander cuttings you sent me are red.

You are doing well with the brug ,strangely enough it's the cuttings from last year that have been flowering away for me up till now.
