Anyone into it? I am!
Got my own section of our garden where I plant various exotic plants, have done over the last couple of years but am really into it this year, especially now as everything is sprouting up again.
My joined favourite plants are canna lilies and bananas, the bananas I have are several Musa Basjoo (Hardy Japanese Banana), Musella Lasiocarpa, and Ensete Maurelii. Got various cannas, though most of them I have lost the tags of so don't exactly know what they are, not until they grow a bit more anyway, but new ones I have this year are Canna Durban and Canna Praetoria, both stunning and can't wait for them to grow more foliage and flower.
I also have Ginger lilies, got 4 new plants, Hedychium Greenei and Hedychium 'Anne Bishop' are two, can't remember others. Plus I have black bamboo (Phyllostachys nigra), Cordyline, phormiums, bird of paradise plant (Strelitzia reginae, a very well known and symbolic plant of several countries, my one is just about to come into flower), and various ferns.
When I talk about exotics I mean growing them in cooler climates like the UK, but if people from overseas enjoy such plants too then feel free to talk about them!
