Now I love these Africans, although we have a similar plant, if not the same in the Philippines. The second to the last photo is supreme!

I wouldn't have thought this was an African Garden but for the sign Ces! Of course you have to ignore the gum trees in the background ;) Thanks!

They must fertilize these plants. They are very healthy, unless of course the soil is already rich.

The soil in the area was indeed rich and very moist, Ces! However, the African plants were on a hill for drainage and planted in gravel. Just the way they like it :)

WOW! What interesting flowers! How fun, I'd love to see them up close and personal.

Thanks Mary Stebbins Taitt :) I've just realised why these gardens don't seem 'right' to me!

All the plants are common ones from Aussie yards - these 'International Gardens' are showing all of our introduced plants!!!

Can´t say much about the plants but it looks good to me.

Hallo, good morning, I love these gardens, African or not.
The weather here in Austria looks just the same as the weather down under.
*yawn*
I cannot see the gum trees.

Gardens are supposed to RELAX you Simon!

Hallo, guter Morgen Maria :) I noticed the grey sky at your place. The sun did peek out here today for two hours before dark! You need coffee and not gum trees :)

Maria said...

Thanks for the good advice :-) Should work!

HAHAA, I can think of a few African plants which weren't flowering during our winter, Albina ;) I know you've been South before... *okay*
