Sorry but I'm not really impressed by those plants. Most of those in the pictures do not look "tropical" at all, the bonsais seem badly conducted. And there are far too many similar pics.
Papi Jo, I think we're trying to be positive and encouraging to the OP, who is located in India. He is very enthusiastic, and clearly proud of what he is showing us. Surely this forum is not intended as a vehicle for gratuitous criticism... if you're not impressed, go to a different thread.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
I visited nurseries in The Gambia. Virtually nothing would survive our winters, but I loved walking round. Yes , some of the specimens were far from perfect and the " soil " left much to be desired but I still loved it and talking to the staff.
Ahh some colour !! so welcome in a bit of a bleak february here. At te moment I have snowdrops and thats about it ! You've got me longing for some cut flowers now to give colour to the inside of my home.

What happened to the animal , fish and bird photos ?
Yes Paul...reckon the mods have removed bits deemed to cause offence.

Whatever happened to 'freedom of speech'? The 'Big Brother Corporation' strikes again , what a joke .
This forum is beginning to show sinister 'Orwellian' undertones
.
I don't think that the 'Orwellian' undertones were intended by the mods, things just got a bit heated.
Linda , you are probably right . I'll let it go ; this is really just supposed to be a gardening forum after all .
Thanks for the 'calming' comment !

I would definitely be lingering around the stall selling the Palms and what appear to Dieffenbachias .
The bonsais do look a bit tired I must admit , but Junipers in that climate ?...........Not easy !
Durrendals' posts are interesting , and depict images of everyday Indian life instead of the usual tourist attractions .
Keep posting !
