Looks What Flowering Now..

Wonga Wonga Creeper is a mass of flowers hanging down



Callistemon tinaroo almost finished





First potted Anemone planted after I lost those 180 due to the rain



White Begonia rhizomatous ?



Pyrostegia venusta is still flowering its head off..



So are the Nasturtiums lots more opening every day



Iris tectorum.



Clivia.



The first two Freesias opened today this and an orange one.



So many new flowers opening every day shame I don't have the time to take pics.

All beautiful blooms Ihad not seen that Wonga Wonga vine before , so delicate.

The Wonga Wonga Creeper is lovely, Mary-Anne, but the Pyrostegia venusta is really WOW!! Wonder if that could survive down here? Nice to see the Nasturtiums and Clivias too, I'm waiting for mine to flower but that won't be for a while. In fact, I only planted the Clivias this year, do you think they will flower? Beautiful little Iris you have there.

Yes it is Gwen its name is Pandorea pandorana I also have a small one about 8 inches tall now planted that I grew from seeds that one of our former members sent me its supposed to be orange and it came from her garden in the Blue Mountains that's cold so you must be able to grow this native all over Australia I have it growing up and across one of the treated pine posts set in concrete that is holding the pipe up from the gutters that go to the tank its twisted around the pipe and its not a heavy creeper kind of delicate like its flowers though there is lots of it now..

May be a bit cold down there Betty, they don't like frosts either more for our climate have a read what it says on this link

I was just wondering if it was the Wonga vine that you planted on that tank pipe... you answered that question already It's a pretty one alright as are the others.

My freesias have just opened this last week too but only yellow ones so far... that's all that flowered last year too so don't know if any other colours survived yet.

That Pyrostegia venusta has a different common name in the far north ,would'nt you know it.
Its called Japanese Honeysuckle.which I think suits it.

Yes and its looking good Gail and covers up those unsightly pipes and hangs down on the side edge of the back decking even our lovely neighbour is saying she cannot see us anymore when we are out there The only problem is the Grevillea pteridifolia with its fantastic long orange brushes is starting to flower and the creeper is blocking it

Gail remember how we cannot get the seeds to germinate well I found this on a site.

Propagation can be carried out from seed preferably fresh and with the seed coat "nicked" to expose the embryo slightly prior to sowing. "" Do you want to have another go later when it seeds..

That's a strange name to give a South American native plant Gwen

Lovely flowers again MA! I love the Wonga vine and the Pyrostegia too and also wish they would grow down here. I'm definitely getting an iris like that - so pretty!

Thanks Val.. I can give you a couple of those Iris if you want.. PM me..

Mary-Anne does the Wonga Wonga Creeper have seed pods?

MA we do have some strange names up here in the deep north.

Hi Val & Betty you both should be able to grow the Wonga vines at your places as I grow it here,the frosts I get don't worry it. bye Ray

Gwen it seems we have some strange names in the S.E. too

Marlene I am hoping it does it was its first flowering last year and not that many flowers, this year it has lots, the small orange one I am growing from seed given to me from one of our Members so they do have seed pods. I will keep my eye out if you are after some..

Ray I have a small plant growing from seeds from a plant in the Blue Mountains they also get snow there..

Marlene just letting you know that the Wonga Wonga flowers have no seeds at present, those little flowers are going brown paper crisp then fall off..

So I did a search and found that the seed pods do not come till the Summer..
