This was growing Mounts Botanical Gardens at West Palm Beach and I thought it was beautiful. For size comparison see my hand. Would it be possible to grow or is it a hot place tree/shrub which maybe could survive in a heated garden room, which I don't have, yet. Many thanks |

I thought it was stunning, I don't think I had ever seen a shrub/tree like that. The Botanical Gardens left a little to be desired so many plants didn't have identification including this one of a Basil which I think is a curry Basil but not sure, in fact I didn't know there were so many Basils to be found. The herb garden was definitely my favourite and I am hoping to recreatate it here, on a smaller scale when our builder is free as all the herbs are grown in a raised cubic bed that one can walk round both inside the cube and outside, it was lovely. Of course Basil wouldn't do too well here except from about June to October. The perfumed garden was an absolute let down, if I closed my eyes, I could smell nothing, only if I held a flower to my nose could I smell something. http://i39.tinypic.com/dxyfeh.jpg Judith |

Charlie had much lower temps than us this year so may be able to tell you more from personal experience. Ours live in a greenhouse where gentle heating comes on if it falls below 0C. We can grow C. parquii outside. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon Exotic plants, shrubs & perennials online |

It is Clerodendron quadriloculare aka 'Starburst/Shooting Star
Clerodendron', which is widely grown in the warmer parts of the US. It's a very handsome thing, needing very bright conditions to do well and it's a fast grower needing plenty or root room so it's not ideal as a 'pot plant'. |

Many thanks Intriguing. Could it be a Clerodendrum? -- Jeff Jeff second reply, thanks for the reply I have just traced it, it is Clerodendrum quadriloculare, or Starburst. It says does well in Florida, very forgiving tree/shrub but won't withstand freezing temps. Judith |

Bless you Dave, I just did a Google and came up with the same thing, it's nice to know when an expert's view accords with mine, it doesn't happen often! I wonder if I could grow it in a planting bed in a heated garden room or conservatory? Judith |

Our house is an L shape and we only heat one side of the L, we shut up the other wing for the Winter as fuel is so expensive. I will put in a max/mim thermometer just to see what it falls to, there is still snow on the higher mountains here but it's not so cold so maybe it's too late to take an accurate Winter reading. Judith I haven't checked today's outside temps today but all I can tell you is that it's damn cold, still light and the curtains in my study are drawn to keep the house warm! The design of your house sounds extremely sensible but I trust you have a sturdy door between one half of 'l' and the other. ;-) -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon Exotic plants, shrubs & perennials online |
