Azalea beds with lavender

Saw some lovely colours of lavender on sale at Woolies, so bought one of each colour (the tips).

Planted them in the centre of the azalea beds, with 'redwings' azalea and pink ones and light pink (almost white ones) around them.

Hope they take off and look great.

Boug 'Coconut Ice'

A beautiful thing.


Update 4 Sept, 2017:

It seems to be doing just fine!






Another boug

Bought it from Maree from Little Pee Dee Nursery (she has a stall at the Ipswich markets. I went on Sunday 20 Aug).

This one is orangey, turning pink when flowers mature.



Update Sept 3, 2017: Father's Day

I planted it in the ground in this spot today.



Book-orchid has buds

Look! Buds! Even though the tree is young, I see progress. Can hardly wait to see what colour this one is - the pink or the white.



Update: Sept 3, 2017 - Father's Day: 
Turns out, it's the pink one






Red galpinii - finally - first flower!

Saw this on the weekend (19th Aug) and was so pleased! Finally!

I look forward to the fence being awash with red flowers!
