I love the colours the Acalypha wilkesiana goes in the Summer.
Just curious as to why these leaves are so big its never happened before.
I dont feed it and it only gets the bath water for a drink and rain.

Thank you Gail,maybe better to hold off for a bit to see how Hamish behaves .
I don't remember what plants I said I would like , there's a senior moment
maybe I should write notes in a book.

I'm pretty sure I took a pic of mine last autumn. I'll have a look later and see if I can find it.

I hope my Crepe Myrtle colours up Gail all I can see through the window at present that has colour in that bed is the crotons, may have a closer look later.. That Crepe Myrtle has grown a lot in the past year so more visible now. I remember the ones I grew in Melbourne had lovely Autumn leaves..

I do the same, can never remember what I send.
My crepe myrtles colour up really well in autumn, they put on a good display and are a good one for Qld autumn colour.
Gwen, I am going to the PO hopefully early next week so, depending on whether there is a cyclone causing floods, I will send you those plants I have promised you. If there looks like there will be hold-ups because of floods, I will hold off a little longer.

My basic weeding rule: if they grow in rows they're flowers;
if they don't they're weeds.

Thats great Gail.. Forgive me when I say I cannot remember if I gave you one.
You would understand as you give away so many plants/bulbs/cuttings also.

The one you gave me Mary-Anne is still doing well. I took some cuttings from it a while ago which are surviving... for now.
The good thing about deciduous trees... they make their own mulch

I hate it when the leaves drop from the fruit trees, makes a bloody mess

Yes it was Gwen never mind I have enough plants anyway too many actually
That would be right anything to confuse us they are always changing names. John is doing a good job there, and more rain as well lucky you, we could do with some its been a few weeks now since it has rained I had to water a lot of the garden beds yesterday.. I reckon it will rain tonight somewhere in Brissie that for sure just hope its here..

Croton picasso's paintbrush and C. inferno
Mucuna bennetti.is now Mucana novo guinensis.
Aristolochia tagala vine for Cairns birdwing butterflies.
Since John left we are getting good rain.tHE newly planted trees will love it.
