From our members, Amarlie and Lesley Crowden in Tasmania ..... at the  lovely Kaydale Lodge Gardens

"The ultimate refrigeration unit is on! This mornings snow will certainly make the flowers last longer❄️😉❄️ Gracie's not sure if she's a fan of snow❄️ "

Just like us at the opposite end of the world and season!

We've had a shrubby white Hardenbergia violacea in one of the raised sand-beds for a number of years (pic 1)
Last year a couple of seedlings came up and the one that we kept also was white.
However we didn't notice another seedling had come up under the nearby gum-tree until the weekend (pic 2) but this one is pink!
cheers

We got this pink form of Dampiera rosmarinifolia at Goldfields Revegetation Nursery which is about 30 minutes away.
I was a bit concerned when the main plant died! However it is a suckering shrub and is now quietly spreading through its bed
cheers
