Palms in front garden

I planted the palms at the front finally. Have been wanting to do this for ages. Three very tall ones at each end and in the middle (from Jan on Facebook), with two golden canes in the middle spaces. Hope they grow nice and tall and look great waving against the sky (without too much mess of dry leaves).

Post-Script: I took them out of the front 'John's Garden' and moved them along the Gum St fenceline. They have grown well. I love their bushy fronds.

Ixora - Sunshine flower

Planted these in between the red robins at the front, to fill in the space. Looks like one of them will flower soon. The color is Malay Pink.

Update on buds 28 March - 

This is how it looks, apparently (below). Time will tell which shade of pink I have!

Update: 14 Feb 2019 -  They've done pretty well, two years on. They aren't much bigger, but they have grown some and flowered again.



23 March 2019 - I have planted a white ixora now. It has a streak of red down the side of some petals. Very pretty.

Queen's Wreath - petrea volubilis

Saw this lovely plant in a garden just up the road from me, and loved it.

It's such a pretty bluey purple. I bought one from Bunnings and have it in the front of the house - hope it grows well, and flowers lots.

Here it is against the lattice, front of house:

Wouldn't it be great if it looked like THIS one day?!
