AT THE NURSERY

We visited Poynton's Nursery in Essendon this morning and it was absolutely marvellous. Huge range of plants, garden statues, fountains and water features, a café, and helpful, friendly staff. Not to forget two shops onsite with homewares and decorative items. Will go back there soon!

AFTER THE RAIN

As the final month of Spring nears its end in Australia, in Melbourne we've had several days of rainy, cool and sometimes stormy weather. The garden is suffering a little, but the plants seem to persevere and try to grow despite the adverse weather.

MICROCOSM 2

A tiny corner in the garden where a few plants seem to live happily with one another. There is a fern (Pteris spp), a spikemoss (Sellaginella spp lower left) and the pink knotweed (Persicaria capitata).

BERRIES

Pyracantha coccinea, the scarlet firethorn is the European species of firethorn or red firethorn that has been cultivated in gardens since the late 16th century. The tree has small white flowers. It produces small, bright red berries. Its leaves are slightly toothed and grow opposite to one another. The fruit is bitter and astringent, making it inedible when raw.

The fruit can be cooked to make jellies, jams, sauces and marmalade. It ranges from southern Europe to western Asia. It has been introduced to North America and cultivated there as an ornamental plant since the 18th century. In England, since the late 18th century, it has been used to cover unsightly walls.
