FLOWER DOME PART 2

Today's weather - sunny

This is a continuation of the earlier post on the flower dome or cool dry conservatory. Just take a look at the myriad of diversity and colours from the many different species and cultivars of Pelargonium, Camellia, Pentas lanceolata, Ajuga reptans, Heuchera, Viola, Lavandula (common name: Lavender) and the grove of uncommon Olea europaea (common name: Olive Tree). 


How spectacular they all look under the light!

NURSERY

Continuiing from the post on 2 May 10 at Cairns, we visited this nursery where I saw this beautiful Tibouchina tree, under which grew a peach-coloured flower Brugmansia cultivar. The contrast is so good. But as always, I think I was the only one amazed with it.

I liked the 2nd photo because it looked like a dry meandering river of silvery-leaved Gazania cultivars.

Then, there were these clumps of aquatic grasses and the one in the foreground had interesting flowers.

There was a black-white spider on a red-branched Euphorbia cultivar.

Finally, there was an Eggfly Butterfly on the lilac-flowered Pentas lanceolata.

PENTAS LANCEOLATA

Variegated Pentas, anyone?

This was bought from the same supplier of the previous plant. We will see how this plant does and whether we can propagate more of this soon.
