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.

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!
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)!
