Pavilion renovation and Aglaonemas

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.

 

 

I love Aglaonemas and I have been growing them for many years. 

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. 

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.

 

Here are a couple that have been growing in the garden for years.  I plant them close to palms or large shrubs to keep the soil around them drier.

 

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.

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.

 

I love the pink stems on this one.
