Horticulturist - fancy name for a gardener! Growing food and beauty on just 573m2 in cool temperate southern Australia. SM cynic - not on Insta, Facebook, Twitter blah, blah, blah. Save our planet.... one garden at a time!
Agreed. The right will say that migrants already in the country have to accept "Australian Values" - whatever the hell they are?
Plants can be so much nicer than people whether native or exotic.

Thanks Prabhatha Alia,
Time for you to post some flowers!
Cheers from southern Australia to wherever you are!

Hey Milly,
Yes, really beautiful but I really love the roses and hydrangeas in your Botanic Gardens

Yes Anthony!
Horribly the voices of empty, hate-filled vessels are now louder than the majority of decent, loving and accepting Australians. I am so proud of our multicultural country!
PS I'm on Bunurong lands (Central Gippsland Vic) where are you?

Wow! Thanks for sharing.
Reminds me of another unusual rose - "Joseph's Coat"

Hey Zack,
Thanks for liking my posts - great rose, same colour when it opens?

Some Penstemons in the back yard to hopefully put some "zing" in that leg!
Have just come in from one of those tiring days of pruning - cutting back a New Zealand stunner ("Kaka Beak" _ Clianthus maximus) to allow the mist flower and fuchsias underneath a bit of breathing space. Great chatting!

A type of gladioli, usually called "Bridal Veil" in Oz

Flowers from our garden "down under"
Hope you're back with hands in the soil soon!

Yes, Honey Girl, sadly, Australia has a disturbing history that isn't recognised. 237 years of ecological destruction as opposed to 60000 of sustainable living - so much to be proud of in our First Nations Peoples. Many of us continue the fight for Truth, Treaty, Voice!

Welcome to Australia Honey Girl!
Are you also visiting beautiful Victoria????

I hope I'm wrong...
but, things are going to get nasty.
We all love gardens that are full of lots of different plants. We should all be able celebrate diversity in everything..... including people!
