I keep pruning it back as it has thorns so maybe that is the reason.

Must-have for me because they attract hordes of swallowtails here in Florida. That red ginger is absolutely stunning!!! Still exotic to my eyes, even though gingers are planted in shade gardens commonly here. So funny that "red zinger" tea is made from hibiscus and not from red zinger! ?????

I love all your tropical flowering plants. It gets so hot in Perth that most of the above would just wilt and die if not watered daily or not put in the shade. I buy some seasonal flowering plants every couple of years for some colour in the garden, when they are finished, a new lot gets planted.Samihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467163627586022816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-73158044780820683752012-05-03T09:27:18.881+10:002012-05-03T09:27:18.881+10:00I love geisha girl.
