July GBBD

Not much going on in this July garden in the flower department.

Ageratum Houstonianum - Perennial ageratum

The gorgeous fluffy flowers of the Ageratum

My trusty little euphorbia has not stopped flowering since I got it!

Euphorbia Lipstick

Last legs!

Begonia

So disappointed with this aloe, hopefully as it gets older its flowers will have more substance.

Aloe winter Bells

Marigolds

Bacopa gulliver

Scaevola

Dianthus

Not sure which thryptomene this is, its a cutting from Dad's garden.

Thryptomene

Thats it from my winter garden, there are lots of summer ones over at http://www.maydreamsgardens.com/

Teeny Tiny Box

Buxus Microphylla - Japonica
an evergreen shrub grown for its rounded tight shape, with small dark green foliage, makes an excellent low hedge, so say the the tag.

grows to a height of 60cm by the same width.

I have planted it at the junction of paving, Left hand side done by moi, right hand side  laid ever so neatly & precisely by Skybax 2.  I have been politely asked if I am thinking of re doing my side!!!

Anyway the idea is that this little guy will grow to encompass that area as an orb, which is something to look forward to, hopefully he's not a slow grower.

Full view of paving with a little of one vegie garden at the edge.  Plants are the box of course, Aloe - bush baby yellow, Ageratum Houstonianum, Bracteantha - Mohave white & Hibiscus - Aussie Pink
Perth has had a nice lot of rain for July, but precious little went over the scarp to the wheatbelt unfortunately. Our crops are feeling very thirsty.
