Show and some answers please

Ok, I been looking around at your pics and ya places, very nice by the way, and I am only a recently new gardner (if I may call myself that yet) and well, I don't know alot about the game nor alot about the names of me plants, I have been getting most of them going now over a period of about 3 years or so, alot of them are still in pots because im not sure where to put them really and what to put them with, so I have taken shots of my rough lot of booty and would appreciate a name or two to put to some plants I have and any suggestions good or bad would be greatly appreciated, the reason there still in pots is I got put in a housing place and told that they would be moving me out in 8 months, well 3 and a bit years latter they did move me and finally got put in a place that im going to be staying at for many years to come Good Lord willing, I have put up lots of shade cloth to protect them, and am going to be ripping up the back yard to get rid of the lawn and build a shade house and a nice garden instead of lawn. ok there you go, you all up to speed, my chilli plant I put in the ground and my curry leaf tree as well, and of course some out the front of the house, and now let the show begin.

This guy was where I have my EPI that is flowering at the moment, he was bigger but I had to cut it down some to get it out of where it was, it was growing up into the roof and gutter of the garage, so I moved it, not where to put it and will it be ok in the pot or should I put it in the ground, I think it is a hybiscus

This guy neally got tossed, I asked a lady if I could grab some of her bird of paradise I love the flower, she said ok, so I dug, and dug, axed and dug some more, got a half dozen with what looked like roots of a sort, stuck them in the pot and watched them all wither and die, I decided the pot needed to have something else put in it went out to rip the stumps out and saw a wee little green shoot, and he is that big now, risen from the ahses lol, this one will stay in the pot, I know what they will do if fet into the ground no thanks. :)

# 4-Dianthes.

This message was edited Apr 10, 2008 9:24 AM

This is one of my favourites, it is a crown of thorns, it caught my eye because of all the thornes, then I saw all the leaves grow afetr a while and now I really love it.

This is an EPI that was given to me, repotted it and it gets a little to much sun in the arvo I think hence the yellowy colouring on the lower leaves

This is all three of them together, I think one of them is not like the other two lol, not real sure though.

The first two don't know, the one on the fence was a gift from a fellow from church, the next one I rescued from a friends house, he has ms and his daughter was in Romania with his wife and it was nearly dead, it is doing ok now, and the third one is a moses plant I think.

This message was edited Apr 16, 2008 11:52 AM

Now I know this thing looks quiet ugly, but when I first got it it was going very well for a couple of years, then for no reason it started to turn the leaves brown so id get rid of them as I went, it has a small sprout at the bottom it has been there since it grew, I almost chopped it of to let the new shoot grow, but since I been here it seems to be getting brighter again, but now im running out of room it is getting to tall for the small foyor I got at the front
