Your Plant of the Moment?

I've always got one plant or another which I'll see somewhere on the internet or in a book or TV and think to myself that I've just got to have it (I get these impulse's daily:D) my current fixation is with Camellia japonica 'Bokuhan' with it's beautiful paeony centres and lushes red petals:p and it got me wondering what everyone else's current fixation plants were?

 

Kalmia, at your age, shouldn`t you be fixated on girls?:D:D

 

I have always wanted to grow an Embothrium coccineum.



But after about three attempts, I'm on my last chance.

 

Hello all,

This is what I really really want for Christmas, but I don`t have the money-but one day.................





A Golden Wheel peony-just breathtaking.

 

erm yer, anyway moving on very swiftly....

 

I'll write to santa for you Lolli and ask him.:thumb: 02

 

I've always wanted a magnolia. I've had a stellata and a Susan but they don't do well with me. The Susan lives on but after about 6 years it is only about 30 inches high:(

I would love a big magnolia in the garden.

 

I'd love one too UJH, but my garden is to small.:( They seem to do well in my neighbours gardens, and we tend to have acid soil in this area. 02

 

Jee, so many whishes, i will have to think about it... Colocasia "Black Magic" is one wish... blooming cherry "Ukon" has been a wish for a long while... Hydrangea serrata "Shikidanka" an H. arborescens subsp radiata also rak rather high. Tetrapanax papyrifer is a long time wish that will soon come true Then i have a seed wish list as long as my arm, but those are more easily satisfied!

 

I`ve seen a little belter I would like-Shamrock I think it`s called

 

That is nice Kalmia,like Pete I would like to grow an Embothrium saw one years ago on the I.O.W in full bloom,may try some seeds next year.

 

Thanks walnut, yes I do like that Embothrium it looks stunning!

 

I've taken a fancy to those big alliums and the ursulas red fern

 

Little Miss-Ive seen those-they are enormous, but tend to break and fall over unfortunately-at least they do in the garden Ive seen them in.

 

I've got one coming soon so I'll stake it up or put it near the wall lol
