Way nice Rick..you do live in a well tree'ed part of Brissie!

I often wonder if you were cursing me or glad for the advice on that blanchetiana x mulfordii...it has coloured up very nicely indeed. Phew!

Nice pics Rick. I'll have to drop in sometime to see all the changes and of course how your new shade house is coming along.

Hi Rick, looking really good.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers Richard - PS the shadehouse wont be big enough.

Hi Rick, great displays! Hope you have a fire plan too! N Gunpowder has a purple/red centre, almost iridescent. Also your N corriae-araujoi x looks like one of the c-a I registered as Blister, all grown from seed from Burle-Marx's garden sent over by Leme if I remember right. Red Macaw came from the grex but a few of us grew on the seed with similar variations, just like the clump in SRBM Brazil.
Can you or anyone else tell me more about Black Olive?

Beautiful garden there Rick - some stunning broms! Am getting jealous of you folks in more tropical areas - everything looks so healthy compared to the dust-bowl conditions here (even the tree ferns!).

All good though - we've had some construction going on out the back here thats been dragging on so the garden is a mess - with pots hiding everywhere but should be finished this week so Im eagerly looking forward to getting stuck into the garden. Seeing everyone's pics on here is a great way to get inspired and gain some new ideas so thanks for posting.

At least the greenhouse is started!

cheers
Kristan

Shane,

I'll keep you on my books as a part-time Brom consultant - I'm glad that you work cheap.

Richard, I know that the greenhouse should be bigger - Can you talk to my wife???

Pedro, thanks for the info about Gunpowder, I couldn't find any info about Blister on FCBS or the web but I got it off someone who was in BSQ about ten years ago so you are possibly on the money.

Apologies about Ae. Black Olive - I must have got confused with Neo. Black Olive. It is labelled Ae. Olive Cream #10, I won it recently in a BSQ auction, it may be one of Olive Trevor's. I can send you a pup down if/when it pups.

Ae. Olive Cream #10

Kristran,

It is dry and hot up here as well.

Cheers,

Rick

Hello Rick,

Nice display!!

Ae. blanchetiana x mulfordii and Ae.Olive Cream are stunning. What are the parents of Olive Cream. It may be part of Ae.chantinii.

Thank for sharing. Hope youl">
