Heres a bit for this Green Thumb Sunday !

This is a gorgeous varigated hibiscus that I was given by my boss the Registrar at school for my devotion to the gardens there.it could be that I had already given her a huge hydrangea for her verandah of the Federation home she has in KalThe leaves are a motterly green and cream with splashes of pink.The flower was a surprise as a lot of flowers are sacrificed when varigated foliage colour is bred into them.The shrub is in a large self watering pot which I haven't used before am nervous that it will get root rot as i can't tell if fits getting enough moisture even if there is water in the base!

It will placed on the front verandah behind latices to protect it from the sun which I was told will diminish the vibrant colour it has at present.I have noticed it is fading propably becasue its recieving morning sun.Im fast running out of space for shade loving plants as I wait for the verandah and the court yard I hope will materialise in the next few months,most stop spending on plants!

Green Thumb Sunday

The usual plant photos with a little something different!

a bit of bushland as seen from above the iron ridges around one side of town!
A bit of wild life...

And a bit of colour...Clivias have put on a fantastic show this year,maybe because I divided them!

Abit more colour,the roses,can never tire of looking these fellas as they were a sad bunch until I shifted them.The new location was suggested by my friend who is now my garden assistant too! I was originally going to put them in a more open position which would have allowed more plants to be planted but here they are thriving and really our work load is big enough!

And another bush scene of the last of Cyclone Isobel ,all dried up now but at least the trees have had a bath!
