Agave and eucalyptus
Saw this today and it was stunning. These pics don't come nearly close enough to conveying the subtley of what was actually happening, but I had just come out of the gallery after marvelling at the tones in some Victorian era paintings - greys, salmon and pinks when I stumbled on this on the way back to the car. Agaves are good! Very garden friendly in a potentially viscious, stabby kind of way.

More Dahlias
Dahlia "Lime Gold" which is a really good performer as the colour of the flower marries really well with the foliage. The other one is "Clarion". A very strong, clear lemon yellow. One of the 'Ebony' group and is my favourite tucked under cercis canadensis 'Forest Pansy'. The top pic is a good old anemone - "Bowles Pink".
Parthenocissus tricuspidata
Opuntia

and some more....
Fond of perennials
Autumn
At this time of year the garden at Gembrook is a beautifull thing. Made this garden when I lived there eight years ago. I have since moved out, but still work on it and add bits and pieces, but it is pretty much unchanged since it went in. Overcrowded, but everything has more or less got used to each other and they all seem to rub along o.k. The bias is towards drought tolerant plants, but there are a few softies in there too.
