Superb job. Garden looking very exotic now and filling up nicely. Definitely male trachy👍

[@tikitropicals65]

Looking lush. With regards to tropical gardens being good for wildlife I couldn’t agree more. My garden is full of and I feel that just adds to it. I even get a couple of bats every evening constantly flying around clearing up all the bugs.
Trachy flowers. Yellow and drooping down are male. Lime- yellow and upright are female.

Beautiful garden. Thanks for the tour.
Regarding figs, what we recognise as the fruit, is actually a flower. More specifically, a set of inverted flowers.

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

Looking great. Enjoying as we speak

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

Ps. The fig fruit is actually it's flower I'm told.

[@greatnorthernexotic]

Hi

[@greatnorthernexotic]

😎👍 how was your holiday?

[@deniseheanue1447]

Looks great. What roof have you got over your seating area.

[@greatnorthernexotic]

Thanks! Temporarily it's the £10 clear tarpaulin that I had over my arid bed in winter, but it'll be replaced with corrugated plastic roofing shortly.

[@Knapper94]

The actual fig fruit is an inverted flower, so it flowers on the inside of the fig if that makes sense?

[@Shiv-rd1kb]

Do your cacti stay in the greenhouse during winter too?

[@greatnorthernexotic]

Yeah they're in all year round, with heat in winter to keep them frost free.

[@gearycoxon3751]

Interesting. Can I constructively suggest that you pan around far more slowly? The overall effect of otherwise makes the viewer nauseous which I'm very sure is not your intention.

[@greatnorthernexotic]

Noted! 😃

[@Gtumrths]

Please film slower, a lot slower!

[@greatnorthernexotic]

Noted! 😄 I'm conscious of going to slow and boring people will slow it down in the next one.
