Pink Princess Lilies
We have quite a few of these bordering the pathways in the rose garden
this is one of the light pink alstroemerias that hug the ground alongside
pink rose bushes. So far Flossie hasn't flattened this lot hunting for
skinks in the garden! These lilies are quite brittle and break very
easily...and one forage by Flossie can flatten an entire spread of these.

Hanging baskets in an archway
Four pots of diascia and one pot of a variety of tiny plants. All putting on
quite a show right now. Two small climbing roses drape the archway, you
can see a couple of blooms of Clair Matin on the left. On the right but
out of view is Phillis Bide, see NEXT for a photo of this rose.

Up the garden path
Walking past the lemon tree that is surrounded by roses the path leads
to the gazebo. In the background is a horse holding paddock full of self-sown
eucalyptus trees which gives shade to the animals in summer, each tree also
becomes a scratching post.
