Popular Post samuijimmy Posted April 4, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 4, 2015 I agree Shaggy....Plumeria or Frangipani you're coming along with your flower knowledge! ^ We'll upgrade you to Garden knowledge to 1.1 This is Plumbago, blooms just about all year round, at least in my garden... I made this from cuttings last year! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post samuijimmy Posted April 6, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) Dare I test Shaggy on this one....? Perhaps not, it is Lantana... ..... Usually a good flowering plant to attract butterflies..... Edited April 6, 2015 by samuijimmy 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaggy1969 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Aw Jimmy...........was just about to say Lantana,right after asking the Missus. Speaking of which,she would absolutely love some of several one of those in her garden.Would they withstand the Isaan weather? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuijimmy Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Aw Jimmy...........was just about to say Lantana,right after asking the Missus. Speaking of which,she would absolutely love some of several one of those in her garden.Would they withstand the Isaan weather? Well the one thing I do know, about Lantana, that they do not like "wet feet" soil needs to be very well drained, especially in rainy season.... they are quite drought tolerant. They do grow wild here on Samui, so I would think, they should do OK in Isaan.... perhaps a case of finding them at a garden centre.... ? The multi coloured ones are grafted ... There is a creeping type too, which comes in several colours! Cheaper to try first! I saw this yesterday, I am not sure what it is... but it had a nice fragrance!

sunshine51 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Dare I test Shaggy on this one....? Perhaps not, it is Lantana... ..... Usually a good flowering plant to attract butterflies..... And the Lantana seeds when crushed and mixed with food & drink have been used as a fast acting, no antidote, poison in these here parts for centuries. Growing in the wild or along the roads or in roundabouts as decorative flora...the cows & goats won't eat em....they know what happens if they do. Just some FYI from an old SEA hand... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samuijimmy Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Nice Hollyhocks Ace! ^ Never heard of Lantana being poisonous, but it does have a rather pungent smell, if you crush the leaves!.... Always something new to learn! Thanks SS! Here's the creepy kind, I actually just trimmed it the other day ... so looks a bit more bushy! Comes in a few different colours!

Yes I know that !!! I meant those would grow in the north.... here... .... OMG .... nothing would be worse than hanging around a bunch of old expat Brits..... Shall we move on to plants grown in Thailand, Samui to be precise!
