BTW, with the Sonchus acaulis flowering I had a bit of a Canarian corner going on with Digitalis canariensis just starting as the sonchus was going over :)

Love your Canarian corner. I have a Mexican 'bed', all Canna, Dahlia and Salvia.


It is indeed Erythrina crista-galli. Flowering well in the tunnel, but it has rooted through its 80L pot and is getting too big.

It will have to be dug out after it has flowered.

A small tree next, and in flower now.

Hoheria populnea?
I've not grown it but I have grown Hoheria angustifolia in the past. The leaves in your picture don't look to be narrow enough for that species?

There was me thinking it was a sneaky close up of hydrangea! :oops:

Well you agree on family, and possibly genus

It was Hydrangea aspera 'Bellevue'.

Now the next one was here when I arrived so I'm uncertain what species or hybrid it is, so I'll only ask for genus [and if anyone is confident on species I can learn something]. Again a shrub.

Psidium?
The colour of the anthers doesn't look quite right but the leaves and flower shape do remind me of a Guava tree.
