For a stretch of almost 20m x 5m, the red Epidendrum has naturalised the eastern bank running up to the railway fence. Countless blooms! Looks fab. There is a canopy of turpentines and Angophora costata, with sailor boy daisies also naturalised. They are great little plants, the red and mauve planted together is a great mix. Almost electric in colour! Mya, your zygos are beautiful too. We only grow the very common old mauve / purple form here. Most plants were saved from abandoned gardens prior to demolition for high-rise. Our Wisteria floribunda 'Violacea Plena' is about to erupt in bloom! It will be just in time for my mother-in-law's annual visit here the weekend after next. This is a wonderful cultivar to grow. When it's flowers drop, it is like a carpet of purple coloured popcorn! :) |
