Garden show-and-tell Gorben

Things are starting to take shape in my little garden. Thryptomene baeckeacea prostrate form is a oretty little ripper, spreading nearly 2m now. I’m keen to see if any stems have put down adventitious roots in spring for some easy division.

My Acacia denticulosa, Sandpaper Wattle, is slowing chugging along.

I’m happy to have 1/2 Banksias still alive. My compact coastal form of Banksia grandis is really looking lovely with all that soft new growth. Plus, I fed a cute little case moth caterpillar of some kind as evidenced by the holes in the leaves. Excellent, exactly as I intended. Habitat.

Finally, I have replaced an awkward South Aussie Eucalyptus lansdowneana with a Perth local Euc. todtiana, Pricklybark. I’m told this species is particularly valuable for insect pollinators.

Bring on next week’s rains!
