Preparations for visitors and new plantings

Hellebore ? argutifolios brought ome from Toowoomba October 2014
A few showers are all the encouragement we need to plant more at "The Shambles"
On a recent trip to Toowoomba we visited Penny MacKinlay and purchased cuttings grown roses to replace or supplement existing stocks.
2 x 'Lady Hillingdon'
2 x 'Seduction'
2 x 'Graham Thomas'
At an open Garden at Mabel Street Toowoomba we also purchased 5 x Helleborus argutifolius (holly-leaved hellebore, Corsican hellebore) syn. H. corsicus, H. lividus subsp. corsicus
Our order of tubestock from the Fernview Nursery arrived in good condition. Many of these are destined for our sunny front embankment


10x Lavandula stoechus 'Ploughman
10x Lavandula stoechus 'Anon View"
10 x Lavandula dentata
10 x Rosmarinus officinalis
10 x Westringia 'Smokey'

Everywhere else in the garden there is a very encouraging vigour in the new season growth
Epiphytic orchids have been prolific in flowering this year
