Meryl, you seem to have a taste for novelty. This plant is really stunning. I have a little plant that has a lot of red berries for 6-8 months each year then the flowers coming out to produce the next lot so there are always red and green berries at any time of the year. I'll post a pic so people can help me to learn what the name is. I am doing air layering. The roots are coming out nicely. That mean I can have a very small plant in a tiny pot sitting on the dinner table for months because the plant need very little sun light to survive. It only needs sun light to grow, flower and bear the fruits. | ||

Couldn't resist sharing this gorgeous thing. It's a Fraser Island Creeper (Tecomanthe hillii) which I found after quite a long search and planted on the back fence at the new(ish) Sydney garden. I was despairing of it ever flowering but was looking in the wrong place for buds, at the end of the growing shoots. It flowers on the very oldest wood in the leaf axils. In the first pic I've included a matchbox for scale. These are big flowers and they open out very slowly and sequentially, so each cluster should go for months. And I attached the second pic because in it you can see the exquisite white interiors of the petals.   |
