87%
I understand this quiz is for fun, but if it was a serious test, I would say it's biased toward one particular style of gardening. For example I don't care much for tree ferns, I'm more of a tropical Americas/vine oriented gardener. Also, gap-makers such as colocasias, alocasias and bananas are not exactly my cup of tea as they only reinforce seasonality instead of beating / reversing it.

Bloody cheek Says one day I'll own my own Tropical Paradise. 83%
Suspect it is as I hate winter but don't get freaked by it, and I BBQ rather than a hammock under the palms as the BBQ is is the sun, and the palms are too far apart to string a hammock.Best regards

The Hammock under palms scores the most points the BBQ was second best answer.
I don't know how to get 100% and I wrote the quiz!

Panic doesn't give the best score.
Re: How much of an exotic gardener are you QUIZ!
I scored 83% - I think the slug thing let me down - it always gives me great pleasure in spiking a few of these
