What's Looking Exotic In July 2014

@PeterS - here's what I have to look forward to.....................

 

Again LongK - most unusual - now that's what I would call exotic.

Rhodochiton atrosanguinea from seed this year - but not as advanced as yours LongK. I grew it for the first time two years ago, which is when I realised what a good plant it was.


Eccremocarpus scaber from seed this year. Its grown really thick and green and well this year - I think as a result of a warm start indoors. Its now out of doors.


Arisaema speciosum seed pod. This looks as though it should be in a sci-fi horror movie, all covered in mucus and about to produce hundreds of aliens.


Clerodendrum thomsoniae - I think this one is really cute. Its a climber from tropical West Africa, and is a member of the Verbena family. It can grow to about 12 feet.

 

Hard not to agree. For the first time this year I used the paper towel method on the seeds and it will be my method of choice from now on.

Mine went through a mid summer sulk this year. Never done that before.

Must try that again.

 

Nerium oleander at last......................


Aloe striatula....................


Bomarea edulis taking over the Philadelphus.....................

 

It looks tropical so dont think it dont
