I glanced at the back garden today and was struck by the flowers therein. So here are some pictures. One of the aims of our shrub planting was to hide the some ugly infrastructure: it does a good job of storing rainwater and keeping Bowerbirds off the vegies but isn't visually appealing. The flowering shrubs are much nicer.
A large Grevillea.
Euphorbia: we have planted these in several spots.
A strange bottlebrush plant: I can't remember the name but it may be a
Melaleuca:
M. incana fits well.
Two Prostantheras
A purple bush: again can't remember the name but its covered with flowers and is about 1.5m high! Frances' records show it is
Polygala grandiflora and will go up to 2m.
Yellow daisy: again planted in several places.
Succulents in many places. No idea of the names.
A strange small plant growing under a camellia.
2 Hebes
A cluster of Freesias and an Iris.
Iris: I think we got this one from a head of tubers outside someone's house in Reid ACT.
A close up of a Freesia.
Polyanthus: they are still small but give them a year.
I bought a Chrysanthemum somewhere for $2 as it was nearly dead. Its a dense bush about 20cm high and wide and will soon be covered with these flowers. A great success.
I think this is another Grevillea.
This last one is definitely Grevillea rosmarinifolia.
