My car has a tropical theme at the minute the mrs was not happy at all

 

I call this one Trevor.

 

The Hippeastrum that I rescued from a dustbin over christmas is in bloom...........

Saxifraga stolonifera isn't strictly exotic in the tropical sense but it doesn't look out of place in an exotic themed garden............

Nice one - that is very unusual and exotic looking Shiney. I would never have guessed it was a Campanula.

 

Adenium obesum.

 

@PeterS It is a worthy addition to your plant. Perennial, but very susceptible to sluts. Yet they are quite tough, distinctive and reliable.. What more do you want. I saw it in Homebase and said to myself, I must have one of these and bought it from T&M... Really love it.

 

Lovely Pete - I would love to grow one of those. I did try once from seed, but they didn't seem to be a fan of my 100% humidity days.

 

I've been growing this Beschorneria yuccoides from seed for a few years now..............

It looks like a Furcraea species to me.

 

Hello alp,

" very susceptible to sluts "...........



Sounds like a few I've had in my garden ( naughty Aquilegias )

 

It took me nearly half an hour of deciding what to write

 

Solanum pyracanthos is really getting going now..............
