            Ouf! For a minute there I was developing quite a complex about the disgusting state of my polytunnel :biggrin: My excuse is that the peppers, chillies and aubergines are still fruiting.....

              I’ve put a few photos in the gallery. There are loads more, but got to get to grips with naming the plants!

                  It could be a terrific resource, but I find it awfully slow to create an album. Perhaps just me missing something techie :biggrin: Plus....I've got a comment notification but can't see it or how to access it. Perhaps just a phone problem?

                  On my phone I get a tiny button on the bottom when you view each picture, it looks like one of those speech bubbles you get with cartoons, it then opens up the comments for that picture.

                    A chocolate tree! It's hard to believe that those fruits ( or rather the seeds inside them) become Cadbury's finest....

                      Cordia sebestina and what I'm guessing is a Bauhinia

                          Following @strongylodon's picture above, my Poincettia is still blooming and will be cut back soon to one meter ...

                          Now that the Viburnum has been cut back to two meters (in background), light and sun has come to the Jacaranda by the path so it has come to life again ...

                            Epiphytes out in force in our conservatory, it might be autumnal outside but very summery inside.
