Fermi,

Trop brachyceras perhaps?  The last one is one of the Isopogons I  think, but not sure of the species or varietal name.  Some great pics amongst that lot, and an excellent reverse picotee dark purple hellebore in the bottom right of the first of your group float pics.  Very striking.  And the Vireyas are glorious!!

Thanks for posting these beauties, even if some of them are very confusing (like how is Massonia jasminiflora still flowering in the last couple of weeks?  )

I'll leave people to digest these, rather than posting more pics tonight.  Thanks again.

So many treasures shown her that my head is reeling... a good feeling!

Will the Vireya Rhodos have  been grown outside?  If so I think I'll need to learn to speak Australian and enquire about emigration from the UK.

Lovely sets of pics Fermi. You need to be careful, all that computer work will no doubt lead to your needing a spot of physiotherapy

Better get your papers in order then, Maggi! Most Vireya Rhodies are grown outdoors or in Shadehouses in Australia.
Good Chocolate too!

Fermi,

Well in your area anyway.

Will I have to change my name to "Sheila" by deed poll and learn to drink lots of beer.......

Lesson 1 in Strine

ALL females are "sheilas" (except my wife who's a slasher). No need for any name change on your part.
Be also aware of regional differences (should I need to draw such to the attentions of "poms' and others of more northern climes?)
ALL males are "mate" but if you're a Taswegian, "cobber".

Thus endeth the first lesson.

Hooroo

[Maggi Young]

Fine local advice, John.......thanks, mate. 

[Paul T]

Obviously I'm living in the wrong country then..... a slasher?

Lovely, Ray.  Excellent pics.  As far as I know, the second pic (i.e the bright orange one) would be Spiloxene linearis, or at least looks identical to mine under than name.  You have some lovely stuff flowering now.  Thanks for showing us.
