Seedling Carina 2016 has not reached its full potential, another chance for this one as well. If it does not improve it will be discarded. Generally the second flowering is better.

Darling Billy passed away 3.September 2016, always remembered.

Native cats whiskers, I love this folksy name.

Essentials from the kitchen garden, for their beauty and wellness agents.

Some wicked. fantastic, native bees building their hives.

April

Trees, plant trees!

Chickens, Kitchen and Garden" work well together.  I could not imagine living without these essentials for a healthy and happy life.

A herb garden is a must it might be just a few pots to tend every day.

...and sometimes you might be inspired by something growing in the kitchen garden.


May

Fresh from the garden..you are what you eat.

Citrus fruit are slowly changing colour.

It was a big one, nearly one kg. Rollinia a big tree with an abundance of fruit.


June

A bouquet of roses from the garden.

Awesome flowers of a native paperbark, food for many birds and insects from ants to bees.

At this time of year the kitchen garden is prolific.

July

Red is a prominent colour in winter. Gerbera.

Slavia Adenophora flowers through winter into  late spring.

Geraniums like the cooler seasons.

Tomatoes are  can be harvested nearly  throughout the year.


August

Winter is blooming colourful.

Dendrobium Orchids, as beautiful they look, as easy they are to grow on trees.

Nothing can replace the wonderful geraniums.

Light and shade on a Alexandra Palm tree trunk decorated with Lichen "doilies".

September

my favourite month of the year.

The first Hippeastrums.

Rose Crepuscule

Herbgarden

Dendrobium Orchids, as tough as old boots.


October

... and more of the flamboyant Hippeastrums, grown from seed over 30 years.

Not to forget the beautiful Jacaranda flowering through October and November.

She helps in the garden, digging holes. She has a sweet nature and is a clever girl. 


A few pictures from the butterfly garden from last year at the same time 30/12/2015

This year was so dry most of the time all these have not flowered at all this year.

Pentas are generally tough, but this year there is not much of a show.

The beautiful cone flower/Echinacea has neither made an appearance. 

Kangaroo Paw is still green but also no flowers.
