Very beautiful garden. I see you have lot of variegated Plectranthus. I a huge one in my front yard...it trails all over, however, I keep in bounds by major pruning.

Mushy: I know what you mean. I love digital camera anyway :-)

Lulu: Thanks!!

Delonix1: Thank you for your kind comment: much obliged! I love Plectranthus, because it smells nice and minty when you touch it, and it's very easy to propagate. I love the colours too. I wonder how huge yours is.

I'll post a photo of my large Plectranthus in the front yard. I think it's been there for around 5 years. I'll take a photo and post it. It's actually planted under a pink Lantana which popped up from birds 3 years ago.

Thank you, I look forward to seeing THAT!

Birds' droppings gave you a pink Lantana? It sounds like you are living in a heaven on earth. Just incredible.

Yes, bird droppings produce many pink Lantana. There's a 85ft/26m tall Norfolk Island Pine (Araucaria heterophylla) above where many birds, parrots, crows love to roost in...many plants pop up under this tree. For some reason this pink Lantana hybrid is very strong, as it produce many seedling throughout the neighborhood.
