Welcome to another Six on Saturday. This is an exciting meme where gardeners can show what’s been happening in their patch during the last week. Any six things, on a Saturday. The Propagator is the host of SoS and as always you can go on over to his blog to see what everyone else is…

Six on Saturday, March 24: Bloomin’ Bright
This morning I took a trip around my neighbourhood to look see what’s in flower. Surprisingly there isn’t a great deal as many gardens look a trifle tired after the extreme heat and dryness of summer, but Autumn is a very good time to see glorious natives in flower, so I’ve added some of them…
One Central Park
As the Sydney visitor grinds by bus along Broadway (we’re often not very imaginative in our naming of streets or buildings here in Australia), he or she passes a sight that gladdens the heart of those who are interested in, indeed passionate about, sustainable architecture.

Six on Saturday-March 17

Late Summer blossoms in Sydney
Being on the coast, Sydney has a completely different climate from where I live. Hot, humid Summer, glorious Autumn, not-very-cold Winter and Spring filled with every kind of flower. Almost anything can be grown in Sydney. The inner suburbs of Sydney are amongst the oldest in the city. A great many of the dwellings…
Six on Saturday- March 3
My first foray into Six on Saturday. We had some rain, more than welcome after such a long time, and so there is the novelty of photos of plants with droplets of water on them. 1. A type of cotyledon, orbiculata I think, given to me as a cutting by a friend. 2. Daylily, possibly…
