October in the garden

The weather has really started to warm up here in Sydney, the temperature recently has been in the up to 39C.  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.

    Some wonderful plants. I wonder if any of them would grow as pot plants in the UK. I love the Calliandra. Does it grow very big? You are so lucky with the weather getting warmer there whilst we plunge into cold, damp winter and have to content ourselves with a few left- over flowers hanging on pathetically like withered moths.

      The Calliandra grows to around 3m high. You would need a heated glass house to grow any of these plants there. Yes, we do have good weather here and we have flowers all year round.
