Syzygiums - lilly pillys

So, I have my little plants in pots, with one in the ground. They are very pretty - like lilly pillies. I noticed one yesterday at Bunnings, which was pruned into a standard form. It looked great - I immediately came home to clip mine into a similar shape.

Pretty geranium

 Pinched a cutting from the staff room/admin building grounds at WMAC.


Late Autumn downpour

 Today we have a little sunshine and cloud and some heavy rain. All season! I have the fan on then I am cold!

Some photos of the garden during the short thunderstorm at 11.30 am.

Back garden growing

 I put the bird cages hanging in the trees today, after mowing the lawns. Don't know why I didn't do it before, as they look great!



This may be one of the last times I see this view (below), as the garage will be built (started) in about two weeks.

Front garden grown in, blakeana

 These current pictures show it as looking quite thick, but there are still gaps and some thinning from dropped leaves over winter. I am wanting to increase the thickness, but including cuttings of red bougainvillea and hardenbergia of various colours to improve the 'impenetrability of view' to the inside of my fence.

I am also looking forward, this season, to increased growth and height of the plants INSIDE the fence (frangipanis, uodia, pink trumpet tree, jacaranda and blakeana)!
