Smug Fig and Adrift

T shirts I saw - love them.




New type of wandering jew

Pinched a couple of pieces from The Smug Fig, a small cafe and nursery near where I work. Will try to propagate it in my garden, at the back.




The one I have at home:

Apparently there are several types of this - and it is a weed!

Planted the new hibiscus

Bought cheaply at Salvos - 'snow-queen hibiscus'. I just love the variegated leaf and the red flower. I have a smaller version on one side of the gate. I want it to grow and cover up that edge of the fence where it joins next-door's. That's an awkward are which would look better blocked in and not visible from the road. Good thing is I can shape the hibiscus to suit, too.


I moved the jasminum nitidum to the gate-side of the area there. I noticed a purple lantana growing there too, and decided to let it stay. I'll limit it's growth and maybe get it to spread in some lower areas, at least to cover the dirt.
