Karyn picked these two beautiful azalea's up from the local supermarket and there's a perfect home for them under the tall fern by the other azaleas.

Replacing the Dead Grevillia and planting more Hellebores

15/9/2018

0 Comments

 
Most of the plants that we put in to the Mothers garden in May last year are doing really well but, unfortunately, one of the grevillias the didn't survive the dry autumn so we've put in a replacement today. It's a different variety but that won't matter.

​And yes - it is that skinny little plant you can just see against the mulch and not last year's grevillias at the back!

Over near the lime tree and hebe, we've also planted some more hellebores - two from pots and a few self-sown volunteers from the path and driveway. It's clear from the other garden bed that hellebores do very well here.

No more native hibiscus

9/9/2018

0 Comments

 
We've planted a number of native hibiscus's in the front garden over the years and they've grown quickly and produced beautiful purple flowers. But they haven't lasted long and the last one turned up its toes during the very dry autumn/winter this year. It was next to the one we had (unsuccessfully) transplanted a couple of years ago.
So, after a rethink, the time has come to do something different and plant a leptospermum in its place next to the one Jen gave me for my birthday in 2011 which is doing so well.

The sun is out, bulbs are flowering, the blossum is starting to appear and the River Wattles are still amazing - what a beautiful day to be in Bickleigh Vale!
