OO what a wonderful series of photographs!! I'm in love with the Butterfly Ginger and that gorgeous white hibiscus. (White flowers are a favorite of mine. :-D ) Many thanks for sharing your garden with us Cheryl.
It seems like the flowers are showstoppers anytime in your garden! I do have a garlic question....is it edible, or just a pretty flower? Jerry
Hi Cheryl, beautiful pictures,..i would love to have all of them in my garden,..that "Pride Of Barbados",..is really something,..as are all of those blooms,..and what a great display of Orange Cosmos,..the Butterfly Ginger and the Red Ginger i could make room for, ,..think i might raid Texas some day,
Thank you all. Philip.... I'm not too far inland from Anahauc Bay... so I boat-raid is possible, as long as you're prepared to dredge through our swamps (with gators, snakes, skeeters. Thanks Deanna and Theodoros (and everyone else). You all inspire me... or entice me... to check out different plants. Yep.... you all are enablers!
What a lovely selection you have there. The gingers are stunning-are they flowers you can get by planting fresh ginger root? I'd give it a go if it could be done. I'm not familiar with the Angel's trumpets but they certainly have a wow factor On this side of the pond Shrimp plants are firmly in the houseplant category
Thank you Kiasmum. I don't think these were starting from fresh ginger. The original planting of the Butterfly Ginger came from my great aunt, she gave some to my aunt and now I have some of it. It's by the front door and the scent is heavenly. And a co-worker gave me the Red Ginger, she bought it from the big nursery here. So... if you have some ginger... give it a try who knows? This is my first time growing the Shrimp plant. It's still in a container so will get protected over the winter. But it's going in the ground in the spring. I've seen them grow really well in this area.
