This Phormium is in a large pot. I planted the apricot Diascia round it three years ago, and I'm surprised that it grows each year!

The Phormium provides some protection too, do you think?...:>)

But if you'd seen the poor thing waving madly in the gale (again!) this afternoon, you'd wonder how ANYTHING survived! lol.

Diascia are one of the toughest little plants, aren't they ?
Those two are a good colour combination :-))
Same as Nemesia.
They too look delicate but they're not ! (well not here anyway!)
