Gallery of plants in my garden - mostly palms and cycads

I have campsis radicans in my garden but it has never flowered. Lots of healthy looking leaves and about 6 foot tall but no flowers!
What am I doing wrong? It is in a sunny spot but maybe it is too cold here?

In my garden it is an aggressive but very attractive bully, sending suckers left right and centre.

I expect the difference in climate must account for the lack of flowering.

Fantastic garden. How much time do you spend working in it ? Do you have help with it - I imagine it is very large and requires a lot of hours spent on it.
 
The main garden is about thirty meters square at the back of the house but there are also beds on the three other sides.

It was my own design, both the layout, hard landscaping and plant selection, although this seems to have evolved over time from the original plan as experience taught me what would and would no grow well and as more interesting plants appear at the local garden centers.

With the exception of the grass the rest of the plants are quite low maintenance plus there is an automatic computerized watering system installed which saves a lot of the work during the dry hot Summer months.

I do have help with pruning, weeding etc. I could not manage otherwise as I usually work quite long hours trying to run my own company.

Very pleased you like the photos.

I am cheating here as this gorgeous looking Aloe ferox in bloom is not in my garden. It is in one of my neighbor's garden but I could not help admiring it as I went past during my morning walk today

So a plant that should be rather than is in my garden.

Hopefully I will find one in one of the local garden centers

Here is also a picture of Canna Preatoria ImageUploadedByDCUK Forum1392976681.416317.jpgin bloom this morning- this time vary definitely from my garden

Cannas are amongst my favorite plants as they make very spectacular colorful displays and add an exotic/tropical feel, This variety I had shipped over from the UK
