What's looking exotic in May 2013

Post piccies of your exotics here.

To start, Jovenella violacea..............


It arrived today from Hill House Nursery. The whole plant.................


Iris japonica looks exotic but is totally hardy...................


Clianthus puniceus.................

 

Exotics is subjective.

Here today is my beautiful exotic honeysuckle blooming exocticly wrapping his limbs around my deck railing.

 

Totally agree!

Your Honeysuckle is stunning!

 

Albuca nelsonii, although a houseplant is certainly in my eyes exotic.............




It's a tall plant standing about 1.3 metres tall............

 

I have my first bloom on my seed grown Iochroma australis................


Plenty more to come on this one, and all the others too............


Many thanks to PeterS for the seed all those months ago!

 

A few photos from our garden

Gaz - as always it's stunning!

 

Gaz did you had problem with the T-rex as well????
stunning garden as usual

 

Hi Sal, some of the t-rex pups had some die back. they are budding lower down so should be fine.

 

Think I lost my rex completely this winter.
Nothing alive above ground and nothing came up from the base.

 

Gaz, btw, is that Schefflera hardy??

 

Sirius that one is a bit of a test, it was out all of last winter, and is supposed to be a hardier form of S delavayi. Other than a couple of the newest leaves getting a bit burnt over winter it didnt have any problems. Our lowest temperatures, were about -6C but it was a long cool wet winter.

 

hope this works :-) this is my first post. Hello I'm Mark from Kiambu (just outside Nairobi) My Oxera Pulchella is in flower quietly exotic! thanks

 

hmmm not quite...can't seem to turn my pics the right way?

 

How's this..............................


It's very nice wardleykenya - far too tender for the UK.
