[You may remember Dinahmow's Hoya from last year's Event, but this year, the fuzzy, perfect wax-like flowers are open. I imagine Mago has experienced something similar - IDV]

Vanda and Phalaenopsis

Trachelospermum
More flowers (and sex in the front yard!)

Unknown; possibly a Dendrobium

Tecomanthe hillii. Harsh winds played merry hell this year, but it seems to be recovering!
And some "wildlife":
Mr. Goanna has a lady friend.

Thank you, Dinah, for the look at your really quite pink garden - and for sparing us the pink bits of those brazen goannas!
Next up is the always accomodating back passage of Jon - and Madam Arcati!
So pretty! I love the pink and white theme you've got going on Dinah! Apparently, the Goanna's thought it set a lovely atmosphere for a shag.
ReplyDeleteThankyou, Melanie. I still do not have a "proper" garden here; I've kept a lot in pots, for easier moving later.
DeleteBeautiful, Dinah!

Quisqualis, hoya, orchids - and fucking goannas! I'm half expecting Tarzan to show up 😂...
ReplyDeleteWell done, Dinah - it all looks splendid!! Jx
Can we be sure that it's a lady goanna?
ReplyDeleteWell, now that you mention it...I have read of some species other than human that are quite ambivalent.
DeleteDinah never disappoints with an array of spectacular oddities of beauty. Brava Dinah! All that and lizard porn?!?!?! How are we to top that?
ReplyDeleteLizard porn! hahaha!
DeleteI ... I know this plant !?
ReplyDeleteOops! Mr Device was referring to your hoya, from some time ago.
DeleteI was hoping for a Mago Towers Hoya showing this year, but nothing as dropped into my inbox. Yet.
DeleteBeautiful, especially the star jasmine and thank you for the carnival knowledge of the Goanna, they would cost a fortune in the UK.
ReplyDeleteWell Mr De. this has got us of to a fab and exotic start and no mistake.
ReplyDeleteI don't know Quisqualis but I love it and the hoya. Orchids in the garden how fab is that.
Thank you Dinah I have enjoyed my visit to your garden immensely.

Very beautiful. I live things that climb and weave and flower. You must have wonderful soil. And thank you for all the botanical info!
ReplyDeleteThe soil! ack! we are very close to the sea so much of the area is light, sandy stuff. But I do have 3 in-ground compost pits for worms and I try to keep things mulched.I've struggled with some gardens in almost 80 years and several countries, so I'm rather chuffed that folk like my efforts. :-)
