On Dec 8, 2016:

And now, one year later! So much work, so much watering!

In the recent rains -

Covering the side fence

This was the honeysuckle and the galpinii on Dec 8 2016.

So small! And look at it go, now!

 The full picture - maybe I need to plant some more to get it to spread across the fence?

It took a year to become properly established and to take off. Many waterings and much care and supervision (tying up, pruning to shape) in between!

Murrayas in pots

I managed to get them into pots today (5 Dec), along with the oleanders that I struck. 

Hopefully all will go crazy and I will have nice topiary shaped plants in pots like the Mark Sikes thing.

Oleanders like this - in standard shape

Vietnamese Dragons

Saw these on the weekend at Bunnings and could not wait to go get some. They are ironstone, made in Vietnam!

Got them home and trying to find a place for them - thought they looked good in front of the house:

But then I became nervous that they might be stolen, until I get a higher fence, so I put them each behind a lavender and azalea bed. That way I can still see them outside.
