SUB TROPICAL QUEENSLAND

This will be a very difficult part of the Blog to put together ! Anne has so many beautiful trees, shrubs and plants in her garden that it is almost impossible to decide which to display and which to leave out so all I can do is to enter the photographs and label them if I can remember just what the names are !!!

The garden bed along one side of the house filled with lush tropical plants after rain.


The area between the back of the carports and garden storage shed hidden from the main garden by the large concrete rainwater tanks on the left. When they moved here the block of land was quite bare of trees and shrubs of any kind after being used for sugar cane growing. A lot of chemicals had been used during farming and it took them quite a while to regenerate the land.


A general view across the block - all this landscaping has been done over the last 12-15 years since Anne and Jack moved here from Sydney.


Hippeastrums or Madonna Lilies.


Alstroemerias.





Crucifix Orchids.


The Beehive Ginger plant.


Ixoras.


Another Ginger.


Flowering Gum just breaking out...


....and fully open.








I think this is a ginger, too.


The following plants are Heliconias.





Such a profusion of colour and variety and there are literally hundreds more of photographs that I would love to have included.
