Beauties Glen. I am envious and nervously watching lots of little scapes ascend from lots of plants. Afraid I will bump and break as I did a big red rose I just picked.
just planted a bamboo and a tree fern amid some wattles so they will make shade for some dark daylilies. The tree fern just came up next to the house slab and I have potted it on. So 2 less pots to water this summer. Ground was very dry so much mulching after I let the weeds come up. We have had a few days of showers and rain and very mild temps. and so humid the rust gallops along until I rip off leaves. Reminded me of before the monsoon in Delhi. But only for a few hours a day fortunately. 'Maybe my past leaf ripping accounts for why some bad rusters don't look bad while others are dusted with the dreaded orange.
I just got 2 truck loads of free fill from a pool mob. My daughter was horrified. More jobs! One lot is actually black sandy soil. When I use it will cover it to stop weeds. The other is clay and rock which can go in a big depression which currently breeds cane toads. When it is nearly filled I will plant out some Lousiana Irises which are flowering here now. And some daylilies, as I hope the wallabies won't come up that far.
