Back again after four days away and the garden has gone mad! We had so much rain, but being on a very sandy soil it just drains away. Ocker..I think the lack of blossom has definitely to do with lack of water then...oh well...I still love the bark.
 
Jaided...I have grown some morning glory seeds with deep purple almost black flowers, with bright pink centres. That's what the packet shows them as. They are being hardened off at the moment..poor little devils will be iced up if this cold wet weather continues. I shall grow them up a picket fence as well.
 
The Arum Lily is definitely a bog plant variety Jaided. The Arum Lily has several different varieties I think, as I know they are grown as cut flowers too. Maybe you were thinking of the Peace Lily?
 
I had a huge Anthurium plant growing in my kitchen, but the ants have got to it and laid eggs, so today it ended up on the compost heap. I hacked down a six foot angel wing begonia <did i already say that here? I may be repeating myself, sorry> and hopefully it will get some new growth as the stems grow very woody after a while.
 
Looking for pics of the Anthurium because I bet you all know it...it grows by the side of the road in Madeira, much like the Bird of Paradise flower does.
