Corner Wall Garden

Three strappy leaf plants, I have popped in the corner wall garden
Beautiful chocolate leaves on this Cordyline Electric Star, clumping variety which grows to 1.5m by 1m wide.

Yucca Silver Star, slow grower to 9m

and Cordyline Burgundy Spire, a tough low water usage plant growing to 4m High by 1m wide

This garden is out front & in winter is fully shaded, but gets hot summer sun, so hopefully these plants can handle that when it comes

Aloe garden




Brand new & looking fairly miserable with its tiny little plants, but what I hope will eventually bebursting at the seams!

Aloe striata favoured me with a flower this season, after being dug out of my old garden in the heat of summer, left to scorch in a pot for the rest of summer, I thought I would be lucky if it survived at all!

Behind the coral aloe is Eucalyptus woodwardii, given to me by mum & dad for my birthday & the ground cover is trailing lotus - Lotus berthelotii, just about to come into flower.

Euryops pectinatus

Aloe plicatilis with a flower head peeping out

View looking north east, aloe always red with statice in the background.

Aloe always red

Aloe mountain gem, he also has a bloom forming


Aloe Gemini



Here I have planted senecio chalk sticks, a small kunzea baxteri , euryops virgineus, kalanchoe baharensis, aloe Gemini & you can see the bottom of my Norfolk Island Pine - Araucaria heterophylla.
