Re: New Subtropical Gardening Forum for the UK

Dave

Your forum looks interesting - can others join or is it just for UK 
gardeners?

In my own garden I am trying to develop a workable blend of 'tropical' 
looking plants and more traditional perennials and shrubs (a kind of 
late twentieth century version of a 'Victorian' garden (the era not the 
state!))- one of my primary sources for plants at the moment is the 
Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne - they have a fine collection of large 
leafed plants - many probably dating from the 'Victorian' period. I have 
some wonderful things such as a a few shrub Lobelias, shrub Eupatoriums, 
numerous species from the Malvaceae family, cannas, species from the 
arum family, Wigandia, Melianthus, Sparmania, species fushias, 
Cordylines, Datura etc - but I am always interested finding out about 
new plants.  

Also does anyone know of any good specialist seed sources for these 
kinds of plants?
