My Red Flowering Gum, which is going to have orange flowers has some wonderful new growth
 |
| Corymbia Ficifolia |
This plant was in the letter box planter when we bought the house, there were two of them, but one has died, not sure what it is, maybe a syzygium, but not sure, looks like it has responded to my pruning though. I have planted it in the front garden just to the right of the red flowering gum.
Also out front, quite close to the verge I planted this silver trim agave, the ticket says grows to 1m so a bit smaller than the normal agave.

Just next to the agave I popped in a Duranta stentostachya - sheena's minigold, which only grows to 60cm high by 60cm wide. The gorgeous yellow foliage should contrast nicely with the hebe & alternanthera I have planted close by.

Rather a pathetic looking little Acacia limelight, but I like to buy my plants as small as I can because I feel they do better in the long run, or is it that Im just to stingy to pay for bigger ones!

Bec,
ReplyDeleteIt is all looking wonderful! And I am in agreement with you on the smaller plants. For me they require less water initially, and (I think) their roots are in a more grow/spread stage then larger plants that have become root bound and need extra coaching to begin growing again. – G
Yes you are quite right Gary, its just frustratingly slow when all I want is the healthy lush look!
DeleteThose look really lovely indeed. Greetings!
