Planted my bit of tropical rainforest

I want a bit of rainforest up the back, to provide a view-barrier from my neighbours. So I finally got around to planting several pot-bound plants into the ground.

From left to right: water plant, frangipani, fountain, ivory curl tree, weeping bamboo, water plant, golden cane palm, banana palm at the rear, mulberry tree, rubber plant, strelitzia nicholai, and another golden cane plant. I'll have to keep an eye on these to control their shapes as they grow so close together.


L-R: Golden cane, the pink plant, and then a golden cane.

L-R: my blakeana galpini, widow's peak or snake plant, and golden cane.

There were many tree roots to break through.

Me, sweating and digging.

My feline companion in dirty jobs!






20 Nov 2019 -  the frangi at the back is doing well - 



7 April 2020 - the strelitzia looks like it's about to flower!
