Mark and Paddy this is a huge tree about 50ft high and sure I would love to have it as well, more pics later cheers Ian the Christie kind.

I have a Paulownia which is about 5m X 5m but never a flower. A nice foliage tree nevertheless.

Ian, do you know what the bright salmon-flowered creeper is in P1000294_resize.JPG

Hi Mark, will find my notes soonest but this is not a climber it is a native Australia prostrate plant,  cheers Ian the Christie kind.

I think it's Kennedia coccinea, from SW Australia.
Thanks for a great series Ian.
