I have been growing exotic plants for most of live and try to see what plants can take.
Have bamboos which are not meant to grow out site here in the UK.
I have ginger plants which flower each year from the 1985 that is meant not grow here in the UK.
I have also had the Banana plants which have also grown outside.
I have plants that grow side of pond which are not meant grow outside and one is in books as a house plant only.
I have also grow Drosera binata from Australia and Drosera capensis which comes from south Africa and Venus fly traps which all grow outside.
And have many more insectivorous plants that are said in older books not take below 5C but Saracenia leuco' has been in bog garden for years now.
see www.insectivorousplants.co.uk for list of some more plants that can be grown outside.
Yes I know that many of these plants are able to grow here in UK because of the global warming which is not giving our normal seasons at the right length.
A lot of gardeners are being told the message today as the so called "Global warming " is going to give us all a very mixed weathers and not the dry weathers many think.
We are going to have hotter times with colder times and wetter times with high winds and more Storm's and it will only wost until we stop the greed of people that are just using chemicals in petrol's plastic's burning gases and coals, when we could get all the power from the seas with wave power, as wind is not right as cost more in use of carbon then it safes. with power used to clean the blades and power to start and stop the blades as they only work in the right kind of winds. nuclear is the worst with carbon used to make power plant and then take them down again and who wish to have waste put next them when it will give higher illness and still births and that 1000's of years to become safer. " has any one lived that long know the Truth.
So we all need to only have two children each couple and cut down the waste of the worlds resources, or this world is going die.
Think of what we do in our life's as to the damage we can do, so no two holidays abroad a year and only one home each and help live by digging up your lawn ( using power just to have a cut grass ? )and plant it with plants and small pools of water to help the other live in world.
We gardeners should be able to use as must water as we like to keep our plants alive all year around it's up to the water companies make millions and should give clean safe and build more places to hold water and even take out of the sea which is all around us, like other place in the world do. so never have water band again.
