What's looking Exotic in 2023

Result of the propped ensete.
Guess who didn't get the halves cut equally!

 

Looks like you might have a forest on the right.

 

Yeah, about two dozen

 

Has anyone got one of these?

I grow Epiphytes, similar looking flowers, but nothing this exotic.

 

What once looked Exotic!
Acacia, Grevillea and Brahea armata.

 

Ohh Strongy, I am sorry. I think my Grevillea copped it too this winter, as well as a couple of Prostanthera. A sobering reminder that it's always a gamble growing borderline hardies in the northern hemisphere. Losing big, established shrubs and trees is a swine, though, isn't it?

 

Odd how some tender plants survive though, I still have some Tradescantia fluminensis alive by the garage wall.

 

I have Aloe aristata scattered around the garden in various places, some has been growing for 10 yrs or so.
Some are now complete mush and others are looking fine, the ones close to the house are mostly ok the ones further away and on the allotment are dead, apart from one which had rain shelter.
Likewise the Aloe striatula, mostly dead, but one plant near the house wall has survived.

The yellow bottle brush looks a bit sick, cant remember what species it is.
Washingtonia is leafless after I cut off the dead parts yesterday, I'm hoping the trunk is ok.

 

@pete Your yellow Callistemon is either pallidus or salignus, my salignus is untouched so are violaceus and Hot Pink. Perth Pink has slight damage and discolouring but both citrinus laevis are brown with just some green growth left. Rigidus and seiberi are fine

Some new shoots have opened on the Actinidia kolomikta but the last three or four years they have gone brown after a frost, Perhaps this year I might even see the coloured leaves for a change!

 

C. salignus, I remember now, its not dead but badly damaged rigidus seems totally unscathed.
Not particularly exotic, but maybe it is, an apricot which I grew from a stone about 6 yrs ago is having its first real flowering.

 

My Aloe striatula was looking fine at Christmas, but now every time I go past it there's another growth gone yellow. I will give it a serious cut back at Easter; then in three months time pull root pieces out of the compost heap.
Aloe aristata has come through fine, maybe because it's closer to the ground. Both are in a unny well drained bed at the top of the garden.
The taxonomists have recently killed off both as aloes.
Aloe striatula is now Aloiampelos striatula.
Aloe aristata is now Aristaloe aristata
I'm sticking with Aloe for the time being.

 

This is a couple of pictures of my Aloiampelos striatula, dead, apart from the one on the house wall, and that looks pretty bad but I dont think its dead.

The rest look like this, its the black stuff under the Mahonia.

 

I've been thinking my cordylines have come through the December freeze but on looking today the bark is coming away from the stems, the top growth still looks ok but I think they have had it, remains to be seen if one or two others are OK, not easy to get to the trunks of those ATM.

 

@pete at least the cordys might come back from the base
