We were given expert advice to use "Hot Rio Nights" and "Richmond Red" so we will try these. We also have some "rostrata" brought over from Wynnum that will go in the ground tomorrow. It was good to read which heliconias didn't work well for you. I also enjoyed reading about your costas as I will plant them out tomorrow also. We enjoyed your open garden very much again this year and I am looking forward to giving our purchases there a new home in our garden very soon. The black sapote fruit ended up on amazing cocktail! All the best for 2017's garden endeavours. <br />Joy Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34320804.post-23043530080667065322010-09-20T22:07:22.925+10:002010-09-20T22:07:22.925+10:00hey your blog design is very nice, neat and fresh ...hey your blog design is very nice, neat and fresh and with updated content, make people feel peace and I always enjoy browsing your site.<br /><br />- NormanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34320804.post-24567783271576998642008-09-08T10:59:00.000+10:002008-09-08T10:59:00.000+10:00We inherited a garden with these beautiful plants,...We inherited a garden with these beautiful plants, however although I love the flowers I find it frustrating that more time is spent removing dead and browing folage.

We now live out near Ipswich and I am determined to have some heliconias and gingers in my garden. None of the heliconias have flowered as yet and a couple didn't survive their first winter. I'm still hoping. Thanks for your advice. i love your blog and your garden.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34320804.post-9724449699641499982008-01-15T09:36:00.000+10:002008-01-15T09:36:00.000+10:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
