A stop at a private garden


This one is just some plant porn :)

On the way back from Bunbury I stopped in at a friends place.  She's spent a HUGE amount of time in her garden over the last couple of years, and has produced a stunning backyard.



See all this gorgeous crushed brick, she actually sieved this to get the bigger pieces out for the front section with the echeveria's.  The larger bits just didn't look right!


Golden Barrel cactus - she grew these from seed.  This just looks awesome (and I don't LIKE cactus that much!)


now this looks stunning doesn't it... its a bread pallet of all things!


 created when she threw all the leaves off an arrangement she was working on into one container...

 the colours are just superb!

Graptopetalum rusbyi - always a favourite when in flower.


Crassula capitella thyrsiflora looking stunning.  It goes this fantastic stacked shape and colour.  Then the darned thing flowers, and every SINGLE leaf that comes off that flowering stem can grow another plant.  Once you have one established, it's practically a weed.  But darn its a pretty one!


Graptopetalum mendozae  - I freely admit I have a thing about grapto's.  But who wouldn't, look at this stunning display!

 If anyone was at the Perth Garden Festival earlier this year, they may recognise this lady.  All the semps are still looking stunning!  Of course the cat photo bomb was an added bonus 😁

I didn't take anywhere near enough photos (and none at all of her growing area).  But still, you get the idea!
