all suggestions are appreciated
The most exotic I have is a Bird of Paradise, and have sown some seeds of the Pitcher plant.
As the title suggests, exotic usual means plants from warmer climates, do you have those conditions, unfortunately I don't!
Me too I have a bird of paradise as well as a curry plant and a date palm tre

Really I'm just looking out for a new challenge
I did buy a fig tree but it refuses to grow outside, don't know if I can accommodate it in a few years time!!
do you know the type? I've heard ficus 'brown turkey' is a good type to try in the UK
That's mine, but when I put it out in the Spring, the leaves died off as a new one grew, so the bottom ones dropped off, I brought it in the conservatory and its growing lovely, even has three baby figs on it now.
Ryan, have a look at this website.
