Come and take a stroll through my garden and see the array of plants, collected in the tropics that are growing and thriving here. Where Crotons and Cordylines flourish in lightly shaded areas under the canopy and plants with strange sounding names such as Tabernaemontana, Mussaenda, Graptophyllum, Pseuderanthemum and Posoqueria grow.Tropical Breezehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12169214961104075664noreply@blogger.comBlogger19125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578286843117079499.post-42719807587928487392014-08-31T08:23:00.003+10:002014-08-31T08:23:27.251+10:00Acalyphas<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Acalyphas or Fijian Fire Plants are a favourite plant of mine. They love the summer heat and they don't mind drier soils. I love their varying leaf shapes, their combination of colours and their different leaf patterns.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have quite a few Acalyphas planted along the back fence in the pool area. Many of these have been moved from other parts of the garden and they were moved last spring and summer. It will take them a while to fully settle in and grow, so I am looking forward to this spring and summer when they should take off and start growing.</span><br />

I have been waiting for more than 3 years to have a deck built under the pavilion and it was finally built this year. Here are some before and after photos of the Pavilion.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These Aglaonemas have been growing under the roof of the pavilion for several years, it is a very dry spot here as they are protected from the rain. I love the patterns on their leaves up against the wood, so I decided to get some more when I saw them in local garden centres.</span> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I placed the new ones around the pavilion still in their pots to see how I liked them there. I will plant these in the garden when the weather warms up in spring.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When we were up at the Queensland Garden Expo last month, I bought some more to add around the Pavilion and in the garden. I am keeping these ones inside until the nights get a little warmer as the stand I bought them from comes down from tropical north Queensland.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some of these I will plant next to the pavilion and the other ones I will plant next to my Brugmansias as they take a lot of moisture out of the soil and they will keep the Agalaonmeas dry. These are the new ones.</span></div>

Some of the Brugmansias in my front garden. Bruce's Pink in the front with Aztec Gold behind it and Maya at the back. Brugmansias are at their best in Autumn (Fall) as the flowers are deeper in colour. While the Brugmansias are still beautiful during our hot summers the flowers are paler in colour. </div>

We have been very busy here since the garden was open with Open Gardens Australia in March. These photos is how it looked under the Pavilion for many years, I have wanted a timber floor under here for a couple of years now and it is finally happening.<br />

I won't have to pick up leaves and twigs from between the pebbles, I will be able to sweep them all up - so much easier and quicker.<br />

Not long after the floor was started, I noticed how beautiful my Agalaonemas looked against the timber. As they are only planted along the Pavilion edge in one garden, this lead me to thinking that they would look beautiful planted all around the Pavilion edge. The soil stays drier here as the Pavilion roof overhangs the garden and this is ideal for them. I have Aglaonemas scattered throughout the gardens and in the shade house, and as I love them, it is the perfect excuse to buy a lot more.<br />

Masses of pinkish purple bell shaped flowers cover the top of Strobilanthes hamiltoniana<em>. </em>They hang down from the top of the plant and as the stems are so slender they almost seem to float above the foliage.<br />

Ruellia macrantha has been in flower for a few weeks now and it looks as though I have found the right spot for this plant. It will be interesting to see how long it flowers for. The one pavilion garden won't even think about flowering for about 2 months.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Galphimia gracilis is a beautiful shrub and it flowers for a long time here, for at least 8 months of the year. I have two of these in the garden, the one in the front garden is starting to slow down with its flowering and the leaves now have a reddish colour to the leaves. The one in the pool garden is still flowering strongly will continue to flower for a while and the leaves are still their original green colour. The centre of the flower is even fascinating to look as the stamens and stigma are a goldish orange in colour.</div>

Calliandras are the perfect tall shrub or small tree for the canopy, they provide protection from the sun with their light shade and protection from the colder winter nights. They flower beautifully here in Sydney and their flowers are so soft to touch. My grand daughter loves the feel on these flowers against her cheek.<br />

Clerodendron wallachii is an eye-catching shrub, even though it only flowers once a year. The flowers are simply stunning and I love the way they so gracefully hang down on their pendulous stems almost covering the shrub with flowers.<br />

Mussaenda luteola flowers for most of the year here and it is still flowering now. While it doesn't have the showier flower bracts of the other Mussaendas, it is still beautiful. There is only one white bract on this one but the flowers are more beautiful, they have a ridge or pleat in the middle of each petal which I think is fascinating.</div>

Justicia brandegeeana 'Big Red' is the tallest growing one of the Justicia brandegeeana cultivars. The flowers on this one are a bright pink colour and they go so beautifully with the bright red bracts.<br />

Justicia brandegeeana 'Fruit Cocktail' with its lime green bracts and red flowers is an eye stopper in the garden. It flowers from spring to autumn here.<br />

Mussaenda 'Capricorn Ice', these are the last few flowers for the season. They are not as showy as they were a month ago but I still love looking at them.<br />

Plectranthus saccatus, the two tone mauve flowers on this Plectranthus are smallish and dainty. It is so easy to miss seeing them in the garden as the shrub is low growing.<br />

I saw this combination of an Acalypha and Brugmansia 'Frosty Pink' when I was in the garden yesterday. They looked so stunning together that I had to sit down for a while and just look at them. The pink Acalypha leaves are highlighting the pink colour of the 'Frosty Pink', deepening the pink colouring of this Brug.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Only a few more weekends until the open garden and the garden is looking great with lots of flowers and colourful foliage. Last weekend we had a wet weekend here in northwest Sydney, the first wet weekend in a long time. As it was not a good weekend for gardening, I took a lot of photos instead.</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As most of these Frangipanis were leaning over <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and blocking the pathways, we decided to straighten them to clear the pathway and not have them broken as people walked past. To do this, we had to dig deep around one side of the roots cutting through very thick roots. We then lifted one side and very carefully filled the hole under the plant on that side with soil.</span></span></div>

The winds are still around, we don't normally have them for a few months like we have had this year. Most of the Frangipanis are in bud and the leaves starting to open up, and the new spring growth has started on all the other plants. </span><br />

The weather is starting to warm up and even though I did move a couple of plants last weekend; I can now fully get back in the garden and get some work done. We could very possibly still have some cold weather this month and maybe into next month but hopefully we don't get any jumps back into winter weather. <br />

<strong>Hibiscus 'Sylvia Goodman'</strong><br />
This Hibiscus has been growing in a large pot since we bought it a few years ago. We had to move the pot a couple of months ago and found it did not want to move - a large root had grown through the drainage hole straight into the ground below. The root had to be cut off and the plant did not like that! It is about 1.5m high or more and it is now time to plant it into the ground and I am hoping that all goes well with the transplanting as it is not an easy Hibiscus to find.<br />

<strong>Hibiscus 'Orange Lantern'</strong><br />
This Hibiscus has been growing in a pot for 2 years and it has now been transplanted into the garden. This is another Hibiscus that is hard to find.<br />

<strong>Alcantarea vinicolor</strong><br />
This is a brilliant red in colour now, the photo does not show this properly. It does need the cobwebs to cleaned off and the old parent plant to be removed from the middle. I am going to try to divide the pups on this one soon.<br />

<strong>Eranthemum pulchellum</strong><br />
I went for a walk around the front garden last weekend and found this one in flower for the first time - very exciting. I love the white markings on the bracts and the flowers are gorgeous. It does look like a cool growing cottage garden plant instead of a tropical plant.<br />

<strong>Porphyrcoma pohliana</strong><br />
This plant comes in and out of flower throughout the year. It does self seed but it hasn't been too bad here. I just move the seedlings into other parts of the garden.<br />
Sorry about the blurry bottom of this photo but there is a plinth and statue next to this plant on the left side of this photo and I couldn't get it in focus properly.<br />

<strong>Justicia brandegeeana</strong><br />
This one flowers all year. I couldn't get far enough away from the flower to get a good photo as I would have ended up in the deep end of the pool - camera and all.<br />

All the photos were taken in the late August or September except for the Hibiscus photos.<br />

Last weekend I went outside to get a few photos of some of the plants and when I went to open the top pool gate, I noticed that we had a couple of visitors in the pool.<br />

Today the new glass pool fencing went in. There was a lot of work to get to this stage, the arch over the old pool gate had to come down as it was in the way of new fence as we had to change the angles a bit to accommodate the glass panels. The arch is on the right side of the photo next to the pool filter box. It had to be partially pulled apart to take the old posts of it. The garden edging on both sides of the lawn had to be removed to make way for the glass fencing. <br />

When the concrete around the posts has set, there is going to be a lot of work to do. The garden edging brickwork has to go back in on one side and the brick wall has to be built under the pool fencing to get the clearance right underneath the fence. Then the brickwork goes back in on the other side where the curve of the garden has to be changed so that it meets up with the step that will go in front of the gate. The yard slopes downwards on this section of the garden so we have to change the height of the garden edging on this side, then we will raise the lawn section up higher to hide some of the height of the brick wall that will have to go under the fencing. Lots of top soil and more turf and it will look good in the end. </div>
Why the glass fencing? It was the only way we could keep the statue and plinth in the corner, the pool arch and the Golden Cane palm. The statue had no where else to go and we kind of like the arch. We wanted to keep this Golden Cane as we have to remove some palms and still have a Golden Cane palm in the top section to remove and I have to move the Dalechampia to another part of the garden - hope it makes it.Tropical Breezehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12169214961104075664noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578286843117079499.post-66826942567990070762013-09-03T05:20:00.003+10:002013-09-03T05:49:28.668+10:00Cordylines for year round colour<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cordyline fruticosa cultivars have been a favourite plant of mine for around 15 years now and they have been growing in the garden since then.</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I did not know back then that my love of these plants would change my garden forever, they were start of my garden becoming a tropical garden.</span> <br />

The Crotons grow along the length of the wall, I have found this to be an ideal spot for them as it is well drained and it also has filtered sun for most of the day throughout the year.</div>

It can be fascinating watching the Crotons grow. This one has a lot of yellow in the leaf at certain times of the year, while at other times it is mainly red in colour.</div>

Front Garden</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The Front Garden was a very open and cold area; this was not the best area to plant Crotons but I couldn't resist, I planted two close to the house <em>(first 2 photos below).</em> In late 2009, we renovated the Front Garden; retaining walls and pathways were built and a new central garden replaced the lawn. More Crotons were then planted around the pathways. </span></div>

The sun would come out and warm the days up; it was warm enough to think about getting out into the garden again. But the weather forecast was telling me that the cold weather would be back again this week and it is definitely here, it is very windy and the wind has an icy feel to it which usually means that it is snowing in the Snowy Mountains. Luckily I didn't start pruning plants as it would have changed the microclimate here and I would have put some of my plants in danger of cold damage or death depending on how cold it would get. Instead I started to clean the pavers in the Pavilion garden, the pavers have a rippled finish to instead of a smooth surface and pockets of dirt in the hollows of the pavers. The dirty pavers and twigs and leaves on the pathway always makes the garden look messy; now when I look out the back door it all looks clean and tidy which, somehow, always manages to make the plants in the surrounding garden look better and it just seems to make me feel better.<br />

<strong>Justicia aurea</strong></div>
This plant<strong> </strong>is looking really good this year. I gave it a hard prune last spring as the stems weren't vey strong and had a tendency to fall over. There is a Heliconia subulata behind it and that is going to go this spring so I think the Justicia aurea will be a lost stronger and better flowering.<br />

<strong>Pavonia x gledhillii</strong></div>
This is a very narrow upright shrub growing to around 1.8m high. I have found the narrow habit of this plant perfect for adding height to the garden where there is very little room at ground level. I love its long narrow leaves and deeply indented veins and the deep pink to red flowers. The petals stand almost upright giving the appearance of a partially opened flower and standing high above the flower are the blue stamens. The flowers last for many months and they appear throughout the year. My plant is in a position in the garden with filtered sun.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Ruellia chartacea</strong></div>
<br />
The flower spike has an unusual colour combination; the long
lasting bracts are brilliant red and orange flowers emerge from these red bracts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This is an open shrub with a straggly
appearance, yet I find it very eye catching when planted within a garden
as the flower spikes just appear throughout the surrounding foliage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A lightly shaded position is ideal in areas such as Sydney and Brisbane.<br />
We saw this plant growing as a hedge at Government House in Darwin last October, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">the hedge looked fantastic as the plants are pruned regularly to control the straggly appearance. The entire length of the hedge was in flower and I took masses of photos to try and get perfect photos. This photo was taken in my own garden last week.</span><br />

This is another plant with very unusual flower spikes. The flowers have yellow brush like bracts with lemon flower emerging from the bracts in late autumn to winter. Even though this plant only flowers for a short time, it is worth the wait to see these unusual flowers. A shady position is essential as the leaves may burn in direct sun.<br />

My Vireyas pretty much do their own thing when it comes to flowering time. They can be difficult to grow, these plants are happy where they are and they have been in the ground for many years. But I have lost other Vireyas as they didn't like where they were planted.</div>

This plant is continually in flower. My plant does get a lot of sun in winter; in summer it is protected from the hot sun by the overhanging branches of a Brugmansia. This plant has sprouted some seedlings around it, when they are bigger I will pot them up and it will be interesting to see if there are any different coloured flowers.<br />

Acanthaceae family gives us a large variety of plants, in fact, so many that we
don't always realise that they belong to this family; I am still continually surprised when I find a new one that belongs to this family. In each season of the
year there is always one in flower, many can flower for months or retain their
colourful bracts for months adding splashes of colour to those shady spots in
the garden. They are ideal for lightly shaded areas and there are some that are
ideal for those very dry shady spots under trees.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are easy to grow needing little care,
they are easy to propagate and they grow</span> beautifully in our Sydney climate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They definitely should be some growing in every
garden. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">White Candles is a perfect plant for shady gardens where the pure white flower spikes light up the area; these flower spikes are held high above the foliage on the end of the stem. The 2.5cm flowers emerge from the pure white calyx and then protrude past the calyx giving the flower an unusual two tiered look; adding to this are the pure white stamens which stand high above the flower. As I wanted to see the flowers close up, I have planted this at the front of the garden and I am going to have to keep it pruned if it reaches it full height of 1.2m high.</span><br />

It is a multi stemmed shrub growing up to 3m high. During late summer and autumn, flower spikes appear at the end of each stem; these flower spikes are up to 30cm long. These flower spikes consist deep red bracts which stay on the shrub in full colour for many months; tiny white flowers emerge from each of the bracts during late autumn. </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">This plant will grow in shade or full sun; my plants are growing in a lightly shaded spot.

Flowering in May </h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Winter has arrived early this year. The nights have been getting cold and the temperature has dropped down to 2C or 3C on a couple of nights. It won't be long before we get the first frost as the dew on the windscreens of the car had almost turned into ice last Monday morning. Even though the colder temperatures have started there are still flowers in the garden. The Brugmansias are in flower and the colour of the flowers is a lot paler; many of the plants have come to the end of their main flowering season. The colour will soon come from my foliage plants and the odd flower on some of the plants. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This climbing plant flowers for a many months in my garden, even though the flowers on this plant are unusual, it is only when you stop and look closely at the centre of the flower that you see just how beautiful and unusual it is. I first saw this plant at the Nambour Garden Expo in 2010 and I just had to buy it. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I found this plant in a plant wholesaler in Sydney (this wholesaler has since closed down) years ago and I just had to have it. It is a stunning plant when it is in flower during autumn; the ends of the stems bend downwards and the pendulous flowers emerge from the top of the stems flowers creating a gorgeous cascading look. This plant grows well in light shade although I have heard that it will grow in heavier shad.</span><br />

I saw this plant in garden centres in the Cairns area and I was lucky enough to be given 3 of these by a plant collector up there; I kept 2 and gave one away to a friend. My 2 have grown at different rates, one took off while the other one was slow to establish; the larger one flowered the next year and has been flowering ever since then. I move the pot onto the front veranda during the cooler months It does keep its leaves in winter. </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">These are a new plants in my garden, I bought them in Darwin last October and they haven't stopped flowering since I bought them. I saw some of these in garden centres since I have been back home. Angelonia angustifolia has been growing in Sydney since 1857. Strangely enough these </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">plants are sold as potted colour here.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pentas have been growing in Sydney since 1851, they are tough and reliable growers and they will flower for most of the year in a lightly shaded spot in the garden.</span></div>
