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 Candy Pink

I love the look of this beautiful Correa, I should call it coconut ice with it's pink and white colour. It has several different names depending where you buy it from, Candy Pink, Mallee Pink, Pink Pixie . I don't care what they call it I love it anyway..

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.

Solenostemon scutellarioides

Solenostemon scutellarioides "Coleus Multi Coloured"  Is a winner in my garden with its large colourful leaves in various shapes and sizes. A tropical tender perennial that is grown as a popular foliage plant with an almost infinite number of leaf color combinations including most colors of the spectrum apart from a true blue. Coleus has no serious insect or disease problem, but watch for insects such as aphids, spider mites and whiteflies. I grown mine in pots but will do well in most containers, window boxes, hanging baskets and as edging plant. A proven winner for me....
