Late November and Ensete still throwing out new leaves. All firing energy down into the corm, I want to give it every chance to get through winter. #musa #ensete #enseteventricosum #enseteventricosummaurelii #musabasjoo #musasikkimensis #musasikkimensisredtiger #banana #dwarfcavendish #dwarfcavendishbanana #winterprotection #frostcovering #horticulturalfleeceforxmas #surbiton #horticulturalfleece #riversidepassiflora

Dicksonia antarctica being tucked up in #smallfurryanimals bedding. The crown is particularly vulnerable to severe frosts so no point in taking a risk, a bit of fleece wrapped round the top later too. From @thepalmtreecompany

Industrial amounts of filter needed but here we are - #nuthatch at the feeder caught on the iPhone. It only stays for a few seconds but visits regularly. A common but rarely seen bird it like to feed upside down. #sittaeuropaea #sitta #riversidepassiflora #gardenbirds #birdfeeder #surbiton #surbitonlife

Welcome to the jungle! While most Passiflora get a bit grumpy at this time of year P. membranacea just loves the mild wet winter that we are having at the moment. A massive spectacular & rare plant. It flowers in late spring through to mid summer and although it likes the sun it will stop both growing and flowering if too hot. It can only withstand the lightest of frosts. I have grown it in UK but lost it over winter. While it can be a difficult plant, once established, like many other Passiflora, it will shoot up trees and can choke them. I’m not even sure that anyone else in UK has this? It started to flower earlier in the year but the buds abort over 25°C so lost them. One of my favourites. Stunning purple underside to the leaves. @macdougaljohn @magdalena_carlos #welcometothejungle #passiflora #mexico #mexicanplants #passifloramembranacea #climbingvine #riversidepassiflora

Really excited to see a terrific article in @gardengatemagazine issue December 2020 about how to grow Passion Flowers, featuring amongst others my hybrids Passiflora ‘Snow Queen’, Passiflora ‘Damsel’s Delight’ & Passiflora ‘Betty Myles Young’.

Phoenix canariensis. I don’t know whether to feel more sorry for the palm or the house owners. If there is one palm you don’t want crammed in right next to your house this is the one. Most palms grow up more than out but this bursts forth in both directions. Sadly this will end with it being ripped out. I have a couple myself and they either stay in pots or go in the middle of the lawn next year! Wiki. Description. Phoenix canariensis is a large solitary palm, 10–20 m (33–66 ft) tall, occasionally growing to 40 m (131 ft). The leaves are pinnate, 4–6 m (13–20 ft) long, with 80–100 leaflets on each side of the central rachis. #riversidepassiflora #phoenixcanariensis #palm #palmtrees #surbiton #tropicalgarden #surbitonlife #schoolboyerror

Not the easiest of plants to photograph. Must be some photosynthesis going on in there one way or another. 🤔A lovely little Pseudopanax ferox from @tropicalbritain who say ‘Pseudopanax ferox, Toothed Lancewood, is another wonderful architectural plant from New Zealand where it usually grows in moist semi-shade. A tall growing tree with a slender trunk and long narrow brownish-grey leaves that are indented with toothlike serrations, it is one of the most striking plants in the New Zealand bush and always a joy to encounter, although neither it nor the very closely-related Pseudopanax crassifolius are particularly common and a sighting, whether of a juvenile with its characteristic jagged foliage or of a tall mature tree with its distinctive and impressively straight pole-like trunk, is always memorable.’ #nofilter #tropicalbritain pseudopanax #pseudopanaxferox #newzealand #riversidepassiflora
