Janet Tweedy LOL :~) I love all colours except pale ones, and tropical really does it for me !! I hate tidy, regimented gardens, topiary, box hedging and lawns! I hate tidy gardens too but I can't quite see the connection to tropical plants in not liking tidy gardens. Tropicaltidy ? Not sure what the symbols mean but there are some tropical gardens that are as tidy and as neat as the trimmed box hedges style in temperate gardening. I think it boils down to what people mean by tropical gardens. There are many styles and in general terms folk tend to assume anything from a warmer climate is a tropical plant. The jungle effect from lush tropicals and the Mediterranean effect from the arid bunch such as Yuccas are the opposite ends of the exotic spectrum.It's the arid theme that tends to start to look tidy with the obligatory gravel and a natural look of no ground cover. Chances are that Bananas and Tree ferns may be as common as Laurel and Rhododendron at a future date. |
