I never forget my first garden in Australia. A trial of hope and errors. Ts
Winter is the time to enjoy Camellias.
Wandering around the garden.
....picked a couple of roses.
You are never closer to nature then in your own garden. You learn to accept the moods and uncertainty of nature. Sometimes kind and beautiful, but also cruel and devastating. Nothing beats a walk in the garden on a beautiful, early morning. Ts
Camellia are the show offs in Winter.
I replanted many hanging baskets with hardy, simple succulents, as they are much easier to maintain in the hot summer month. Last summer was very hot and dry and I was struggling to keep all the pots and baskets watered. This will make it much easier.
This one shares a pot with a geranium.
A wall pot, this one gets very hot in summer, this succulent does not mind.
Tillandsia likes to grow on certain native trees. This one loves the Clarence river Baeckia, a lovely weeping small tree.
As we only live once, we better make the best of it. Ts
Last day July;
Harvest;
Camellia Pink gold.
Poinsettia winter colours are fading now to a pretty pink-wash look.
I better let July fade away as well, looking forward to August the last month of winter.
I may see you soon.
