i love this pic jen, i love them big leaves in red and green a bit stripy, do you over winter them, i think i may go for a jungle look if i can get plants that dont have to be over wintered, my new project could have some jungle type plants, im thinking again lol

Stunning planting, Jen. :-))

Thanks Terra, David, glad you like the planting combinations. :o)
San, you'd be surprised how many exotic looking plants are actually extremely hardy...Trachycarpus fortunei can take it down to -20, fatsia japonica's tough as old boots, many Bamboos, ferns, I could go on...and on...and on..and o.......!
Give me a shout if you want to know more, happy to help x ;o)

They're such show-offs Canna's Dotty, I love the way that the sunlight lights them up, hope they come through the winter! x

Have you left them in the garden then? how old are they Jen?

6 Feb, 2010

 

I've left a couple in Dotty, they've been there for about 7 years now, but I've got the others in the garden room, better safe than sorry. ;o)))

lol you have to in this climate don't you, never know what the weather will do nowadays. I do like to push my luck a bit though, doesn't always work (those ones go in the compost bin before anyone sees them) but I'm often surprised at how much survives the weather and me!

14 Feb, 2010

 

I am not too hopeful this year, we are still having frosts and rain, so if one doesn't kill it the other will....... lol

I know it's hard to imagine it ever being warm again, but Spring will be here before we know it, and if something 'doesn't make it' then it's then a chance to try something else. You might just be pleasantly surprised to see what does pop up again in the warmer weather. :o)

Yes I must be more positive........

Sounds like you need a theraputic trip to the Garden Centre my girl! You can blame me if you like and it works, I tried it today and I feel better already, found a very nice little Carludovica palmatum for £2.99- bargain ! x :o)

19 Feb, 2010

 

Jen, you must not tell me to do things like that, read my blog............£2. 99 certainly was a bargain, have you a photo?

19 Feb, 2010

 

Will take a photo in the morning...but first I might HAVE to pop back tomorrow to get some errrr.... Ummm...errrrr.....(Thinking...there were three there, I bought one, there's still two left!) Fish Food! lol

20 Feb, 2010

 

Dotty..pics are up on my gallery and I've done a blog on it, 'Hat's off to Panama?', if you fancy a peek at what I've been up to! ;o)

21 Feb, 2010

 

Off to take a look now Jen......

23 Feb, 2010
