Yesterday I showed one of the Frangipanni growing in the gardens flowers.
Today here are some of the Hibiscus that are flowering in the garden now
as well. The red colours are so hard to photograph. I am sorry that I don’t
know the names of the Hibiscus. There are so many hybrids that look similar

favourites

This is Miniature Hibiscus flower is redder than the photo shows

This Hibiscus is in an out of the way spot and has thrived on neglect

A devilish post

Yesterday I went for a drive to Jackadgery to get some milk from the only shop and petrol station close to my place. There’s not much there any more. We have a community hall, a bush fire brigade shed and the old school house. My girls started school there and we were a part of the school community as well. The school closed in 1995 or there abouts, as there wasn’t enough children attending (my girls had left many years before to go to high school) and the Government at the time was hell bent on ridding itself of schools like this as they weren’t financial for their liking.

One thing we did to the school grounds was to plant gardens. A lot of them have gone, like the sensory garden, but some of the hardier plants are still going.

I had forgotten about this lovely light pink Hibiscus. Of course I snapped off a branch to strike some cuttings.

Peace in the garden

This morning was the time to be out in the garden. While I was out I noticed some new flowers and things growing.

The miniature Hibiscus has been flowering like crazy over the past four or so weeks. The flowers are a deep red but I found this flower with a bit of a splash of white

The Cunjevoi Lily plants mainly grow near waterways. I had one and now I have lots in the garden. They have large leaves about 1 metre long sort of like Elephant Ears plants. There isn’t a flower, the pod just opens to reveal red seeds.
No parts of this plant should ever be eaten as all parts contain oxalates which will cause severe irritation, swelling and pain to the mouth
