Fifty Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Strange things afoot in the Cornish garden; I believe this is an Indian Bean Tree. Its the first time its flowered in the 12 years we have been here. Anyone else got exotic plants in their garden? I really love my garden its too bloody big but very calming; takes a lot of looking after though! Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supragal Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I've got birds of paradise inside... they apparently only flower once every 4 years. BORING! Thats very pretty though. 4 lillies have just openend in my garden, 2 white 2 pink, lovely looking but I hate the smell The council can get really funny about some weeds etc. Mums always going on about ones on the allotment that the council supply specail disposal sites for.

simonas Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Ahhh I'd love a monkey puzzle, they are cool. trouble is I paid £20 for a small one as the bigger ones were too expensive and I believe they take years to grow!! I'm moving soon so I'll dig it up and take it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
