Thanks everyone re the garden. The thing is that the tropics have a very wide range of different conditions. Each present their own problems, not to mention different soil types and their idiosynchracies. It's never easy but we learn. Still, my preference is the tropics, I'd rather only see the white stuff when I open the freezer door and not my front door.

Rachel, does your Spathiphyllum flower turn green after a while? Mine spent a while pure white and has now turned completely green, but still healthy and not a sign of ageing/dying off.

Dave, that Clinostigma samoense is a beautiful tree. The young plants look even better with their almost entire fronds. That looks like a Strelitzia on the left. I was going to grow some but found out we're about 1000 kms too close to the equator for them. The trees in the background look like a Casuarina sp.

Sundew flowers, Drosera sp.
