Just one more plant to add.

In South East Queensland the jumpers are just coming out. There may be a nip in the air but showery weather and broken sunlight still encourage new planting.

Poor old Abutilon are a bit savaged by insects at the moment but still have lovely form and easy care colour.

We have added Barleria micans the yellow Barleria in a position where it will support Justicia aurea with its yellow flower plumes and drifts of the golden orange Clivea miniata. Behind this lot is a healthy shrub of Tagetes lucida (Mexican tarragon). It all might make chromatic sense but for the wonderful Stachytarpheta mutabilis (pink) and the beautiful pink rose 'Le Vesuve' in the same spot.
Moving on to an area with a drift of dusky pink day lilies Hemerocallis spp. we added a specimen  of Plumbago indica (pink-red flowers). This is a moist semishaded spot for the latter part of the day and will be better for the new plumbago than the hot embankment where Plumbago capensis is established.

A cool shady spot, east of the house has had gaps treated to ever reliable Michelia 'Coco' and Viburnum suspensum. Always planting, planting and transplanting.

The garden at the Montville Uniting Church has been given an autumn clean. Passing visitors love the drifts of  Lavender Lavandula stoechas, rosemary, salvias and old fashioned rose varieties. Cleomes, abutilon, cuphea, alternanthera, stobilanthes and dahlias also make a contribution to this low maintenance public access garden. Currently starring are mature Camellias especially 'Julia France' and 'Donna Herziliada'
