I've got some garden photos that don't really belong on Tirra Lirra so I've decided to indulge myself and get this blog going again. Cheating a bit with the above cos Steve was given these roses by a fellow student who he helped out. Note that they are in the pot he made some years ago in Adelaide.
Here we have another of my long-term plans come to fruition (like the bougainvillea gnash wail). This Crepuscule rose is planted on the southern side of the fence so received no sunlight until it reached deck height. Now it's doing exactly what I had envisioned. I always thought Crepuscule was a particularly unattractive name - but it means 'dawn' doesn't it?
Bit of cutesy for you. I wanted the seaside daisy to take over the old tank stand, and it is.
Don't think I've blogged previously the fabulous outdoor (outhouse door, actually) blackboard Steve made me. Don't know how we managed without it.
that door is a bit like the old fridge...miss that. the yellow rose is gorgeous. Waiting for the day when I can hire you to be my gardener...
ReplyDeleteGogeous pics Maggie. Couldn't read what was on the door even with my new glasses but I'm sure it was an exciting list. Jealous of the roses. The possums continue to demolish ours even if they are in cages: the roses not the possums.
ReplyDeleteOf course I meant gorgeous. Gogeous looks like a nice Greek word so it might do too.
ReplyDeleteGeorge, or possibly Goge, I would like nothing more.
ReplyDeleteLiz, you're right. It does look like a nice Greek word, possibly related to apogee. I think it will creep into the patois. It refers to something you want to look at and eat lots of.
