Recycle Charm

A recent visit to  a garden of a friend, bought to mind a old saying, one man's trash is another man's treasure. I did love my visit to this garden it just had so much charm, every where you looked there was something tucked away, nothing seemed to be waisted, even an old pair of boots were used as a planter pot...

Correa

Correa reflexa is sometimes referred to as the Native Fuchsia.
This lovely little plant is one that self seeded in our back garden some time ago and was potted into a 6 inch pot until big enough to be transplanted back into the garden. It has a small slow growing growth habit, but was well worth the wait to see it flower.
