For all you lovers of bright colours and cool flowers this is a must!!!!! I went to homebase on the weekend and saw some of these indian shot plants for £4.00 each (cheaper than B&Q) :eek:

It looks a bit like a banana plant but should flower towards the end of the summer (see last picture - not mine)

The plant grows to around 6ft if planted in the ground and needs to be taken out when the frosts hit us, so best grown in a large pot.

The first few pics are the two plants I bought and I might get some more to go in the "exotic" section of my garden which inshallah I hope to sort out during the summer - if we actually get a summer this year :p
