Soon, we are leaving. And the thing that will stay with me forever is the sight of the garden we created. It is at it's best in spring and fitfully, that will be our last memory of it.
 |
| A weed that grew in the veggie patch |
 |
| Daphne - the star of winter |
 |
| Tibouchina - first seen in Sydney |
 |
| Jonquil - could be seen from the kitchen window |
 |
| Magnolia - filled the garden with it's perfume |
 |
| Hyacinth - played hide and seek every year |
 |
| Hyacinth - this one was moved from the original hidden location |
 |
| Lily - the one we never saw flowering |
 |
| Asparagus - eaten every year |
 |
| Lettuce - on and off crop |
 |
| Chives - grew every year since we planted it and used very often |
 |
| Variegated Crassula sarmentosa - gift from my parents |
 |
| Kangaroo Paw - framed the flower |
 |
| Crassula Gollum - every year it grew thinner fingers |
 |
| Pig face - what attractive flowers! |
 |
| Cactus - lone one to survive |
 |
| Kalanchoe - this one fell and grew in the raised bed by itself |
 |
| Strawberry - didn't get any, thanks to Mr. Possum |
 |
| Mint - transplanted from the vertical planter |
 |
| Virginian stock - a carpet of flowers |
 |
| Hardenbergia - the citizenship plant |
 |
| Orange African daisy - few to appear |
 |
| Purple African daisy - subjected to excessive trimming |
 |
| Pink African daisy - always flowered profusely |
 |
| Pomegranate - always the first to set leaf in spring |
 |
| Orange - every year we had fruit |
 |
| Lime - picked 3 limes in 7 years |
 |
| Hakea - quickly grew to be a star |
 |
| Purple Hebe - lovely shrub |
 |
| Eternal Daphne - subtle yet omnipresent |
 |
| Herb planter - the only one to make the trip with us |
 |
| Hakea flower - a bee favourite |
 |
