At last my computer gliches are solved, and I am back to blogging!!
Speaking of garden themes, they can be changed and intermingled, with different themes in each garden 'room'. My basic garden theme is Mediterranean, reflecting a somewhat Mediterranean lifestyle complete with vege garden. I try to develop color themes in the front garden, using pink, white and blue flowering plants as the mainstays, with other colors scattered around with the use of annuals, bulbs etc. just to add interest.
Thryptomene
After trial and error finding drought resistant, heat resistant, tough plants that survive, Thryptomene is the toughest plant I know. My two plants have lasted for 16 years so far and don't look like succumbing to heat exhaustion yet.
I am thinking about planting a smallish crepe myrtle bush, as they are generally hardy and produce abundant flowers in a range of colors from white through to pinks and mauves.
