[QUOTE="kingofnobbys, post: 1965230, member: 81934"] UPDATE PROGRESSING W/ beautification of my front yard ( 6m x 3m raised bed + a few new shrubs here-n-there ) , and my back yard = the 6m x 1.5m retaining wall / raised bed along my back fence & my 9 square metre L shaped retaining wall / raised bed between my house and garage's 3m wide concrete slab extension & driveway ) . Spent a few days online ( my selection of plants above are not all available as tube stock or in NSW @ the big online natives nurseries , or even at local garden centres ) , so settled on sourcing a range of + 2 different small wattles: Acacia drummondii ssp drummondii = Dwarf Golden Wattle & Dwarf White Wattle (white and golden wattles are everywhere here along roads, in bush, in parks, at schools , even within 200m of the surf in the sand dunes and on ocean headlands ) + 6 different coloured tea trees : Leptospermum Burgundy Queen tea-tree (magenta) Leptospermum Lavender Queen tea-tree (pale pink + lilac) Leptospermum Pink Cascade tea-tree Leptospermum liversidgei - Mozzie Blocker tea-tree (white) Leptospermum scoparium - manuka tea-tree (white to pink) Geraldton Wax tea tree - Chamelaucium uncinatum (white) + 7 different types / coloured banksias : Banksia coccinea - 'Scarlet Banksia' (scarlet golden tips) nodding banksia - bankia nutas v nutans (purple green tips) Groundcover Banksia - Banksia blechnifolia (large brown) Banksia spinulosa - ‘Dwarf Red’ Banksia spinulosa - ‘Stumpy Gold’ Banksia ericifolia - 'Red Rover' PBR - heath banksia Banksia spinulosa 'Honey Pots' (golden) + 2 different coloured bottlebrushes: Bottlebrush Callistemon - ‘Little John’ (red and gold spikes) Bottlebrush Callistemon - ‘White Anzac’ (snow-white + gold spikes) + 10 different coloured grevillea: Grevillea pteridifolia x banksii - 'Honey Gem' (golden) Grevillea obtusifolia - 'Gin Gin Gem' (red cream) Grevillea 'Carpet Layer' PBR (hot pink) Grevillea lanigera - 'Mt Tamboritha' (pink cream) Grevillea ‘Firecracker’ (Pink + white) Grevillea Bauer’s dwarf (red) Grevillea ‘Robyn Gordon’ (red + yellow) Grevillea lanigera x rosmarinifolia - ‘Lemon Daze’ (bright yellow + pink) Grevillea ‘Winter Delight’ (red cream) Grevillea Amber Blaze (vibrant orange) + at least one species of native hibiscus Native Hibiscus Alyogyne wrayae ‘Blue Healer’ + 4 different coloured kangaroo paws: Kangaroo Paw Anigozanthos - 'Bush Pearl' Kangaroo Paw Anigozanthos - ‘Bush Fury’ Kangaroo Paw Anigozanthos - ‘Landscape Gold’ + 3 different coloured native myrtles Melaleuca thymifolia - honey myrtle (purple) Melaleuca White Lace - honey myrtle Melaleuca linariifolia 'Claret Tops' – Honey Myrtle (crimson) + 2 different col0ured clumping iris & lillies : Orthrosanthus multiflorus– morning iris (blue) Bulbine bulbosa -Bulbine Lily (yellow) + 9 species of groundcover flowering herbs : Kangaroo Lobelia Dampiera diversifolia (blue) Billy Buttons Pycnosorus (golden) Fringed Myrtle Micromyrtus ciliate (pink) Chrysocephalum apiculatum ‘Silver & Gold’ Guinea Flower Hibbertia vestita ‘Golden Sunburst’ (yellow) Fan Flower Scaevolea ‘Superclusters' (mauve) Fan Flower Scaevolea ‘Superclusters’ Hardenbergia MEEMA™ (violet) Pratia - blue star creeper Pratia - white star creeper all as tubestock. and some grass trees ( 2 diff species ) as tubestock or sml trunks ( to 20cm) . Xanthorrhoea Johnsonii - expensive small trunked specimens ( $150 for a 20cm specimen ) Xanthorrhoea australis (tubestock) Have 36 square metres to beautify with native flowering plants and I want to put some near my green strip and along the N side of my house & N boundary to mark clearly the boundary and discourage new neighbours from using my front lawn as overflow for they driveway ( no N front bdry fence ). Next job is for me is to scketch up the beds to scale and work out layering ( canopy ( sml trees shrubs) , mid story shrubs and ground cover layout for each of the 3 BIG beds (over w/end). Then I'll place my online orders for deliveries to my place over next couple of weeks and hopefully the plants will be in their new forever homes by MOTHERS DAY ( Sue's present from me ). Will then organise drip irrigation systems for the 3 beds + the 3 small 3m x 1.5m herb/greens/berries/veggies beds + tap timers front and back so at least my plants get a daily drink. My yards will eventually be the best in the street once these plants grow a bit and are flowering. And hoping to become veg / herbs / berries and greens self sufficient too. [/QUOTE]
