sal s garden sanctuary skip to main skip to sidebar sal s garden sanctuary come enter here and rest saturday september 26 2009 spring has sprung has it been six months already since i have made a new post on this blog my how time flies when you are having fun since i have been away i have dealt with a couple of illness s in the family got a new car had the pool repainted yet again as it cracked a new concrete driveway put in and had two lovely visitors from the u k was great to see tony and june friends from way back when she loves her flower arranging and is very good at it they have left for brisbane now and intend going down to adelaide as well before going back home safe trip to the both of you and thank you for the marmite anyway back to spring everything in the garden is beautiful just love this time of year a close up of the wisteria that is on the fence near the pool also the same colour as the pool a close up of the eremophila nivea emu bush that i also have planted in the pool area in a large tub similar colouring to the wisteria and looks very good with the other things planted posted by sally at 2 34 pm 9 comments labels chat welcome sunday march 15 2009 back down to earth we have seen granny s garden from the air http salsgardensanctuary blogspot com 2008 11 ireland html now it s time to have a look around at ground level this selection of photographs were taken in different seasons and over a couple of years as i adore pale pink in the garden i have put those first clematis i think a selection of mixed shrubs including rhodies and trees for colour all year round clever planting here back patio with a fish pond a naughty bird keeps coming and pinching the fish naughty bird a well manicured lawn surrounded by shrubs beautiful rhodies feature well in this garden autumn in the front garden thank you granny for showing us around your much loved it shows garden posted by sally at 4 14 pm 8 comments labels guest s gardens monday march 2 2009 passionfruit panama red i planted this passionfruit vine just over six months ago mainly to cover an ugly fence but then there was the added bonus of having the fruit too while living in the blue mountains many years ago we did try the yellow banana shaped passionfruit but that one only gave us lots of vine and flowers but never fruit so you imagine my surprise when only a few months goes by and we have this already the very first fruit ripened and fell to the ground unbruised and ready to eat as you can see above there are many more to come and that picture only shows about 1 8 of the vine the neighbours on the other side of the fence are thrilled too cut in half to reveal it s fleshy sweet and tarty pulp i googled passionfruit to find some history of the plant and it is thanks to new zealand passionfruit growers association for providing it the purple passionfruit passiflora edulis is a native of the rainforest margins in the amazon region of brazil and perhaps also of paraguay and northern argentina it has adapted to the cooler sub tropics and the high altitude tropics there are many other passiflora species spread widely around the globe and about 50 species are native to new zealand australia the pacific and south east asia the flower passionfruit acquired its name from spanish missionaries who thought parts of the plant s flower resembled different religious symbols the jesuit missionaries who accompanied the conquistadors to south america saw in its striking flower a means of illustrating the crucifixion the 10 petals and sepals represented the apostles the crown of thorns was seen in the filaments the five anthers represent the five wounds the three stigmas were allied with the nails used to pierce the hands and feet of jesus and the vine s tendrils were equated with the whips flower image courtesy of google images posted by sally at 8 51 pm 8 comments labels fruit new zealand passionfruit sunday february 1 2009 a new zealand garden this garden belongs to a cyber friend of mine in new zealand kerry it has been used for her sons wedding a wee while back and is again being used for her daughters wedding in late march i love her clever use of both annuals and perennials giving colour all the year round and what a lovely peaceful spot to have a rest mind you knowing what i know of kerry i am sure she doesn t do that too often like most gardens there is always something else to do and can be seen as soon as you sit down a very well thought out garden thank you for sharing kerry good luck with the upcoming wedding posted by sally at 1 23 pm 4 comments

few kilometers from our own suburb we got talking to the now owner and he said that this plant was put into a garden bed only 20 years ago the garden bed has long gone and the tree now provides a good shaded area for drinkers and those having food from the restaurant i am no good with doing measurements by eye but hubby reckons it would be around 20 metres high and about 30 metres across here is some info about this rubber plant http en wikipedia org wiki ficus_elastica thank you wiki and thank you google images for the picture below are you going to put yours outside now okay i am sure if

visitors who admire it it gets the odd rain shower on it has never been fed and has a prune when i get tired of looking at the brownish coloured flowers during winter it gets very little sun as it faces south east i marvel at it s beauty the colours are just fabulous the little picture at the bottom is of another hydrangea i have in the back garden this one gets fed with rose food 3 4 times a year and always keeps the same colour faces north east and gets the morning sun only posted by sally at 9 33 pm 5 comments labels hydrangea thursday november 27 2008 cannas and glads it is such a busy time of the year right now getting ready for christmas shopping for gifts and all the preparation in the kitchen too it is also very busy in the garden so many plants and flowers need tending to to look their best here s two plants that have done so very well this year the gladioli and the canna lillies i found time today to have a play with the camera out in the garden and these are the results gladioli one of a bag of twelve i managed to get from a nursery some 8 years ago nearly every year somehow my dear other half manages to pull these out thinking they are weeds he had strict instructions to stay away from them this year this is a close up of the flowers with a black cardboard sheet behind aren t they magnificent below is a photo i borrowed from google images of canna indica tropicanna black as my leaves have been eaten a little by caterpillars and here is the close up of my canna indica tropicanna black with the same black cardboard background notice how the sun shinning on them has brought out the gold colour this is not visible to the naked eye and i got quite a shock when i saw the photograph but still very striking that is enough of my playing for now
