Dahlias add together a spectacular flair to any garden , tropical or not !

The wild ancestors of garden Dahlia pinnata come from Mexico and Central America , but of grade they prosper in many garden as summer bulbs that are dug up and stored aside from the coldfor the winter .

The lush Brazilian landscape makes a beautiful mise en scene for this garden .

plant in the genusSpathiphyllum(peace lily , Zones 10–11 or as houseplants ) make a with child foreground with their beautiful ellipse point leaves and blank flowers , some of which have an awesome perfume . I ’m very fond ofplants with a courteous olfaction .

Hedychiums with arched fore are quite ornamental . They are from the phratry Zingiberaceae , cousins of ginger and aboriginal to tropic Asia . Hedychium densiflorum(Zones 7–10 ) has glowing orangish flowers . Other species and varieties flower in many colour , such as orange , Salmon River , cream , and white-hot . Another nice species isHedychium coronarium(Zones 7–10 ) , which has glossy gullible leaves , a less flamboyant blossom , and a wonderful perfume . It imprint beautiful massifs in swamp or riverbanks and can become invasive intropical mood , but it ’s deserving trying . Any body politic child in Brazil remembers picking such blossom to make cologne .

Heliconias have leaves that resemble those of the banana tree diagram and reach out 3 meters in meridian , giving structure and rhythm to the garden . The flower are very ornamental , reach almost 1 meter , and they have spectacular cast and acute colors ( jaundiced , orangish , and red ) . They are very durable both establish and inflower arrangements . They can be maturate in the sun or in half - shade count on the mintage . The most common and beautiful areHeliconia angusta , H. rostrata , andH. bihai .
