blakeyboy Posted August 28, 2024 Posted August 28, 2024 Hedychium Gardnerianum- amazing perfume...two months earlier than usual...strange year...... 4 Quote
ozjohn Posted August 28, 2024 Author Posted August 28, 2024 Link may be of interest https://weeds.brisbane.qld.gov.au/weeds I think Hedychium Gardnerianum is listed somewhere in it. Nevertheless it is still grown in Brisbane gardens as it is an attractive plant but can be invasive if not controlled. 1 Quote

I've been trying to grow Solandra Maxima, and its on the NZ lists as a problem. Common name is cup of gold a very vigorous climber of the tomato tobacco family Solanaceae. I haven't room for it although you can buy the plants in Brisbane and I grew one at my last place. It's a very hardy plant. Flowering at the moment is Angel's trumpet, brugmansia suaveolens another in the Solanaceae family. 1 Quote
ozjohn Posted September 20, 2024 Author Posted September 20, 2024 (edited) Cup of gold photos taken at Brisbane Roma St Gardens today. I was just passing the plant and thought you may be interested to see it in situ. As you can see it has a large yellow flower growing on a rampant vine. I think it flowers late winter/ early spring.
