Sipan on the Wirral (UK)

My interest in exotic was awakened around 1998 after cycling holidays in Majorca and visiting the Croatian island of Sipan. Before then our garden consisted of lawns and leylandi. We have fallen in love with Sipan and have returned there twice a year since. Our garden theme is to only have plants that grow on Sipan and many cuttings have been brought home.
