Green, green ... Everywhere is green!

The gum tree looks wonderful and love your palms and varigated plants looks very lush wonderful blog thank you for showing and sharing your home garden

Coo what nice plants and borders you've got B. lovely show Thanks, now all I've got to do is move Britain southish a few hundred miles and I'll be able to grow such lovely things too, altogether now,PUSH....PUSH...LOL!

You have some great plants in your garden....love all the greens...............

Well green may be the predominent colour Bernieh but such fab shades make your lovely garden very interesting. Some of the beauties like the cheese plant I have reared but only in the house. So nice to see them flourishing as nature intended- free and without the constraint of pots. I really enjoyed the walk through your lush "Greenery". Sue x

Morgana - the gums are my favourite. I'm lucky to be surrounded by them.

Indy - good one! Keep pushing, eventually you'll bump into Africa, then take a hard left!

Thanks Hollyeves - I know green can be beautiful. Other colours are not bad either - that's why I try to have lots of colour in my courtyard and greenhouse.

Thanks Grannysue - the monstera is enormous and right at home in the ferny grove. It survives on total neglect - maybe the occasional watering and that's it!

you have a fascinating garden Bernieh, most of the plants would only be grown here as houseplants, but to see them in all their glory has been a real treat, thank you :)

A great walk around you garden, Berieh! A great many of your plants are houseplants in the UK!

What a lovely tour round your garden Bernieh. As Grindle said, the greenhouse or house are the only places we could grow some of them.....In their natural habitat they look amazing....

Bernieh your garden plants are lovely, i think the green plants are brill.

What can I say?! Other than wow! Quite spectactular!

Ah, green! My fave colour! Lovely bog, Bernieh! You live in a wee paradise - for some of the year, anyway!

Your garden is lovely!
A lot of the plants you have there are houseplants here.
I always loved my aluminum plant ( pilea) but lost it due to spider mites. They just seemed to love it.

That was a great show Bernieh...love the colour & all the different leaf shapes.

i'm a green garden lover. my mother complains about the lack of flowers in our garden i just love all the different colours and textures of the leaves in your garden.

Thanks for the trip Bernieh lovely plants so nice to see our houseplants as they are supposed to be luscious and huuuuuge :o))))

ooooh I love the greenery! ...especially the Palms and ferns.So lush- looking!

Terriffic greenery! Such a fabulous colour and so good for the spirit. Many of these are only seen as houseplants in UK!!

I recognise a few of those I had as house plants once. You have so many interesting plants.

Thanks all for the lovely comments - these lovely green plants are my hardy ones that have to survive out in the summer heat, humidity and with little water for most of the year. They don't get much attention from me at all so they're all great survivors!

Really good .Its amazing to see cheese plant growing outside...

Yes it does Mushy and without any help from me - it's now quite a huge specimen and just keeps chugging along!

Mushy if you have a cheese plant and want it to GROW then feed it beer, the biggest cheeseplant i've ever seen was in the papers some years ago in a NAFFI hall and it was trained up the wall and right across the ceiling and it was a huge dance floor type place, the secret they said was drunken soldiers who couldnt face their pint of bitter at the end of the night sureptitiously "fed" it to the cheese plant , which took off like a rocket, this was in the years before lager was popular ,as that phase came in it started to die off and they had to put signs up to stop the squaddies tipping unwanted lager in its pot.! lol! a plant with good taste!!!!
orrible muck that lager and NOT at all good for you!!!

Wonderful collection of shapes and shades of green - the only colour a garden just cannot do without!

Thanks Wagger and Homebird. Homebird - the arrow head vine survives on total neglect. It's one of the hardiest plants I know - over here it grows like a weed if it's not contained!

I never realised there were so many shades of green !!

You've done it again Bernieh, another wonderful walk !! Thankyou x

A real pleasure to read and look at this blog. Delightful

Thanks so much Sue and Inverglen - I appreciate your comments.

So many plants are what we grow also . you have an artistic talent the way you group plants etc proves that ,.

Ha don't know about talent Pitta - if something survives out there in those large garden beds then that's it ... it's there for good. I've lost lots of plants over the years ... and learnt about the best sun hardy, heat hardy and humidity hardy plants suited for my area. Most of them just happen to be green - that's why I've worked hard this year to add colour where it's possible in my other garden areas.

I would love to be able to garden in the wet tropics - would love to have more of the tropical plants such as the tree ferns, heliconias, gingers - actually there's an online nursery in El Arish that I've clicked on and caught myself drooling over the photos of their stock. Have you seen their website? - you would probably have a lot of those plants in your garden already, but if you're interested in buying any of those tropicals you should check them out.
