This happy Leucospermum caught my attention on the drive home. I believe it might be 'Sunrise' aka 'Earlybird'. It is growing in a well-watered lawn--so much for needing excellent drainage--a bit by itself. The property is obviously inhabited by a plant lover...
...a plant lover with a good sense of design and color...
...though without a fastidious need to weed...
...as well as one, but only one, very happy Leucospernum.
This particular street appears to be home to more than one gardener. Across the street someone had converted the area on the narrow side of the driveway to a dry garden...
...a dry garden complete with Grevillea, Agaves, and a twinkle-light adorned Aloe 'Hercules':
Next door to that, a blue house with a pink Bougainvillea:
I wanted to look further, but at home, the puppies were waiting.
No doubt they would have been happy to examine the Leucospernum, though not in a good way. They have been "pruning" the roses along the side of the driveway. Then they have a shamelessly good nap.
Great gardens. No surprise that the dry one is my favourite. Great aloe hercules and agave attenuata in flower.
ReplyDeleteAnd aren't the puppies growing quickly. Must be all the extra nutrients they are getting from eating your plants.
What a fantastic colors you are sharing. And these dogs they are so cute and beautiful.

What a beautiful Leucospernum! (of course the dry garden is pretty sweet too)...
