I just found your blog - it's terrific, congratulations! I love all the posts so far, but especially the little sentence about Tai and the tomato plants. It made me laugh as my mum had to fence off her vegie patch for similar reasons (although with two rascal dogs). Hi Karly!

The burgundy Iceberg is such a rich colour and suits summer. I grow only the white one which has soft pink buds. I make every winter more cuttings as this rose does so well here in the subtropics. I like it that you included the Basil- and Tomato flowers. It is a very cheerful bunch! Karly you have got a lovely collection of summer flowers.

At least you have the excuse that it's summer there. I'm dying looking at all the amazing blooms in this country - a place where it is still ostensibly winter. Thanks for sharing and for the great comment on my site. I'm gearing up for that garden arbor as soon as I can find the patio under all this snow!

'Salvia buchannii' has proved very hardy here and flourished even over our winter which gets down to around -8 C (17 F). The days are sunny but peak at around 15 C (59 F). I hope that helps. I bought it as 'native salvia', but I'm sure its not native to Australia - I think it was called this because it fits well into our environment, meaning it needs very minimal watering. I think this plant is a real star! I love the blue salvia – it seems happy to survive anything, though I should probably separate the clumps this year.
