LEUCOSPERMUM

Leucospermum formosum hybrid "Leucospermum Carnival® Peach" produces a unique colour display that combines and captures the seasonal peach and apricot notes into a beautiful centre of burning embers. Carnival Peach is a medium sized shrub and ideal for low maintenance, low water use gardens. Additionally, it has a moderate frost tolerance which sets it apart from other Leucospermum varieties.

ROSE SEASON

The roses have started to bloom in earnest now, despite a few setbacks with our Spring weather. This is a climbing rose we've had in our garden for decades and it is an unknown hybrid, which was given to us as a cutting by a friend who had no idea what particular type it is.

WEATHER

We get a lot of weather in Melbourne, all year round, but also all of it on one day. Spring is usually a good season to experience all sorts of interesting weather conditions. Like today, which started out grey with showers, then fining up for little and then strong winds, bringing down many trees and causing damage, and then rain... Never a dull moment!
