What plants have you brought or ordered?

Ah thank you, thats very generous of you, but tbh think I've got more plants than I can handle for the time being.But thank you very much for the offer

 

Hi last year morrisons were selling ensette's for £5 and they were a decent size so you never know they may have them again. Colocasia/eddoes I did not get to a good size last year and I've killed two of them over winter so only got one left! I got lots of bargains over winter as well..possibly too much now because not sure where they are all going to go. Just need some decent weather now so we can get them all out.Like you can't wait

 

Sal you have ordered some very nice plants I must say. Because I have not been into tropical gardening that long, still have a lot to learn. Soo many beautiful and unusual plant around.

 

That's on my wish list Are you likely to have a rooted-bit spare?

 

Nothing yet.
Waiting for the weather to warm up a bit

 

If we're talking tropical don't get your hopes up!!!!

 

You growing any from seed John?

I got on quite well last season with:

Canna limbata - can't find a photo of the height record
Canna paniculata - 80cm
Canna tuerckheimii - 110 - 120cm
Canna musifolia - 160cm. Big leaves, as you might expect

Seed from Sal "Sal's Thai Strain" about 70cm

as well as some Tropical Series ones

 

I went out for some eggs and came back with this
Strelitzia ,it did have a flower but the back door got in the way

 

How much was that!
