superb. im doing soething like this in my garden in the west midlands. i understand your passion entirely. incidentally,a good plant you might like to grow is canna tuerckheimeii. grows to 15ft tall with large banana like leaves and red flowers, awesome

Thanks for the replies guys and yes Canna tuerckheimii is at my place though I think 15 ft is pushing it mine made around 10 feet last year.

For me Canna iridiflora (x ehemanii) is the best with drooping pink flowers.

Hi Cherylche..

Around 2002 we started the garden and the neighbours they do not know what is behind the hedges

i dont know anything about plants, but where i come from in florida, most of these plants grow like weeds. it must take alot of skill to keep them alive in england! : )

[JKST2]

Just a little homework here and there keeps the plants growing well.

There are a few here that will not grow in Florida ........too hot .lol

Good quality vid, Great garden but very frustrating as i can`t hear a single word you are saying. I`m currently building an exotic garden for myself here in the uk and would love to know the names of all the palms and ferns etc you have in there but your muttering- can`t make out a single word! Sorry.

Thats one of the best collection of tropical plants I have seen in a private garden in UK other then the greenhouse in Kew which I regularly visit, am very impressed! keep it up!!

[cherylche]

lovely garden you've got yourself!!! it must be pretty big with so many plants and different plant areas. What year did you begin building your tropical garden? what do your neighbours think? I'd love to see a view of the garden from a higher aspect.
