    My Hibiscus Bluebird, which for some unknown reason, is flowering mauve.

    Between the Acer and the Sedum, my Calla Lilly. Which is yellow, but for some reason, didn`t flower this year.

    [​IMG]
    My Olive tree. 10 years ago it would have been a houseplant. Now it flowers and fruits outside.

    The Brugs, will shortly be a good display, methinks. Part 2 to follow.

    The Banana, this was in a pot for 8 years, planted in the ground this year, it is romping away. Even flowered for the first time.

    The Tropicanna is going over now, but the Nemesia, which was flowering in July when the plant was bought, is still going strong.

    Thank you Nut, but it`s not what I do, it`s what the plants do. So anyone can have a garden like it.:)
