The back fence border is complete for the moment. In the top picture (left hand side) I have planted two different native hibiscus, magnolia, iris, purple fountain grass, agapanthus, easter lillie, podalyria sericea, scaevola, shasta daisy,penstemon, & aloe bush baby yellow.
To the right of the golden cane palm I have planted more iris, aloe fairy pink, Nepata six hills giant, Phygelius aequalis yellow trumpet, more penstemon, aquilegia, patersonia native iris, Papaver ruprifragum tangerine gem, Buddleja davidii royal red & Euphorbia characias, oh & the skinny little trunk of my Bauhinia tree.
My one & only flower at the moment - Dianthus
Bearded iris I received from my mother inlaw.
So all looking rather pathetic, but with the onset of spring they should all fill out nicely.
Bec,
ReplyDeleteI have heard the praise of sheep manure but have yet to try it. After this posting I will be paying more attention to its qualities. The plantings are looking wonderful now; I can only image how beautiful this is going to be as they mature. – G
Here in Perth WA we have to pile on any compost/manure we can get our hands on, our soil is like our beach sand, very sandy, which is great at the beach! I hope your imagination is spot on, in my mind it looks beautiful too, but I just get blank looks from the family when I say that!
