Wow, amazing photo and specimen. Is this in your garden? How many shrubs do you think are in this photo?
Beautiful Plant.... Such a vivid colour

Incredible...your gardens must be beautiful. Any other pictures for us to drool over?
Truly magnificent

Loved all your photos of the gardens. Wish I had gardens like that!! How much property do you have? Looks like you have acres! That Gunneras specimen is unbelievable...I see you are further south than I am and have more of a selection of sub-tropical plants.
Is that a cistern or some type of fountain in the last picture? If it's a cistern, tell me about it. I've always wanted one but never got around to getting one. Is there any maintenance needed?
Hi Secludedgardens, glad you liked the pictures. We have nearly three acres, its a few miles from the sea , the Gulf Stream helps to keep the climate milder so we can grow some tender plants.
Yes that is a fountain, it's a large pot with a reservoir below it in the ground hidden by a mesh of wire covered with pebbles from the beach , there is a pump with a pipe opening at the top of the pot.
Here's another picture showing Calistemon growing near the entrance, there are a good few around the place.
KMAC - thanks for the picture and the information about the fountain. It must be great to be able to grow such a wide variety of plants. Your property has the feel of an arboretum.
Please remember to keep taking pictures of the whole view since I will never be able to see your beautiful gardens in person!!!
I'll watch for more pictures.
Hydrangeas, and everything else looks to be growing beautifully, and I think I spy some Kiwi about.
Great pic.
I live in zone 8 Ca. What do Hydrangeas like as far as sun moisture etc. I have a small one I bought that's called but it looks just like yours. Blue to hints of purple & pink.
......My Hydrangeas called "True Blue"
I just love this photo everytime I see it. Your garden is just so beautiful!
