Lambley Nursery

Salvia x superba "Tanzarin"

Artemisia ludoviciana "Valerie Finnis"

Echium pininana "Snow Towers"

I wish I knew the name of this Aloe, because I want one!

I think this is Marrubium supinum "Scallop Shell". According to the catalogue, it gets "hazy purple pink hooded flowers"

I visited Lambley Nursery today. Its about 140 k's outside of Melbourne, 10 k's past Ballarat. They also have an online catalogue http://www.lambley.com.au/ . Like the sign says, they only water 3 or 4 times a year. They specialise in dry tolerant plants. A lto fo the plants are from the Mediterranean and South Africa. Unfortunately, I went to the nursery shop before looking in the garden, whcih would have informed my choices a bit more. Oh well, I might just have to go back!. I ve tried to identify some of the photographed plants. They have a great catalogue, that they post out. A very inspring place.

I love Echiums

Echiums are going off in Melbourne at the moment! They look really spectacular en masse in different shades of purple, Unfortunately, they can look a bit crap for the rest of the year when they arent in flower. These pictures are from Breakwater, outside of Geelong, where my friend Shane lives.

RIP Rudith, the black cat.
