Back Fence Border

Growing ever so slowly, probably because its being watched too closely.

Dutch iris are all blooming like mad, must have appreciated the division.

Society garlic was also divided,straight out of the pot.

looks as though I took this picture of the dog poo, but at the time I didnt notice it!

Back Fence Border

We drove to the farm on Monday & picked up a trailer load of sheep poo!  It is glorious, broken down nicely & mixed with barley straw, so hopefully the plants are grateful.

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.

Spring is here!

This amazing little plant was only just transplanted a couple of months ago, but its decided to soldier on & is blooming away.  My iphone doesn't do the flowers justice at all.

Melalueca

This gorgeous flower belongs to a native annual wildflower that have come up in various spots, I will have to remember where when we do our weed spraying, they are so pretty.



sunny side up Australian paper daisy, just planted in Jack's garden, hopefully I can gather some seeds to fill in around it as well.

Corondium elatum

A little dwarf iris that was already here, I shifted it to the front garden & thought it would be too shady to flower, but obviously not!

One of my inherited fruit trees has begun to flower & is looking quite happy, here's hoping!  

The mulberry tree is going mad, in the space of a couple of weeks it has come from having no leaves at all, to being almost fully leafed up & with fruit as well.
