Japanese Windflowers

Well at least the Japanese Windflowers are doing well this autumn. Last year they were burned by the late hot summer sun. Sometimes its unpredictable when the weather will come and go and the plants suffer.

Camellia Japonica "C.M Hovey"

This is Camellia Japonica "C.M Hovey" that I bought from my local Bunnings store last autumn. I needed a shade loving plant to fill a spot where it doesn't get much sunlight so I hope this will do. Before that I had a Kumquat tree growing there and sadly it died of s slow death. I hope this will do better.

Camellia Japonica

Camellia Japonica is one of the easiest shrubs to grow in any garden. Just give them a sheltered spot and they should do well for years to come. However the flowers though pretty are not long lasting. Their petals will brown off and fall off the branches in just a few days. I captured this white camellia in my backyard when it was at its best. By the time you're reading this, the flower would have probably be gone by now. So enjoy them while you can.

Clivias

This is the only clivia I have in the whole garden. My mother-in-law gave me this when she was moving house and its been blooming every year around spring time ever since. Personally I'm not too keen on clivias but I'm not going to say no to a free plant!
