With the replanting after our pool build this year, we had a number of Ginger plants, nice with their variegated leaves. They seem to struggle with the summer sunshine, but we bought a few more anyway – and the new ones seemed to do much better with the heat.
One of the new plants is now flowering quite spectacularly and it’s clearly not a Ginger at all! It seems to be Tropicanna Gold, which would explain why it’s doing so much better than the “other” Ginger plants!
The Silk Floss Tree is hardly a tree yet, still only about 4ft high – but this Frog seems to like it!
It’s amazing how much the plants down here at 8002 have grown, since we were here earlier in the year!
Watching the Ruellia every day is impressive: first thing in the morning, the plants are covered in brand new flowers, and in the evening, they’ve all dropped, ready for another covering next day! The Bees and Butterflies love them – fresh food every morning …
