What's looking Exotic 2025

I'm guessing it should be something we see more of, they even seem to survive around here near the coast, they just need leaving alone.

 

I have seen a few here. This was one in Algoz, the Village where my post box is ...

 

Surprised my little white Oleander bought last March has bloomed and got buds this year ...

 

What's that pretty blue creeping plant behind it @Victoria ? It looks nice trailing over the wall like that

 

That's a Solanum Michael/ It goes up and over The Jungle Room.

 

I've never seen a trailing Solanum, it's very unusual.

 

It has a trunk. that is the new growth running along the stone wall. Here is the trunk from inside looking out.

 

Looks like seeds pods coming @Victoria

These are my two Caesalpinia gillesii, they are not going to grow well in pots but too small to plant out . My Albizia Summer Chocolate bought two years ago doesn't grow much either bur I might plant it out next spring and hope for the best.




The Acacia which died back to the trunk two years ago and grew back a little the following summer went brown again after this last winter so it was cut off and has now filled out again. If there are some -7cs in the coming winter it will all die back again.

 

I planted out my Caesalpinia's at around that size @strongylodon, they never seem to get any bigger for me when in pots.

 

I am pleased with my Zebrinas this year, I've got a few of them and they usually look scrawny, but I put them in a perspex shelter and they've done better than ever. I think I'll put them there next year too .

 

I have tried them outside in pots in the summer, the leaf makings are so much brighter.

 

I'll have to try that next year

 

I didn't mean brighter than you have there @Michael Hewett I was meaning than when growing as a house plant.

 

Yes I realized that @pete, but I thought it a good idea to have them as fillers between plants in tubs, as a change from Lobelia etc.

 

Perhaps not for really hot sunny areas, kind of dappled shade or early or late sun.
