I live in a rental property so can't really do too much in the garden. When we moved in in January it was a blank canvas...... Now it is green and planted etc. it's coming along very nicely.
Cymbidium Orchids
Bromeliads that my housemate and I planted on an old tree fern stump to liven up the drab back fence!
Tree Dahlia
Camelia
Apricot Blossom
Dendrobium Orchids we 'planted' to the tree fern. These are now all in bud and will be covered in flowers.

Lol im well aware of it. Kalanchoe diagremontiana grows like a weed for me. I had two specamins flower for me last year. i got atleast 1000 viable plantlets from them. i couldent find enough people to get rid of them. It is a fun and easy plant to grow. but a pain in the @ss to pull all the plantlets strewn about my yard. i like your Kalanchoe tomentosa. i have a couple aswell as a c.v choclate soldier. it looks like crap at the moment, the summer sun faded it.
Edit: you can see a little K. diagremontiana growing in the pot with it.

Nice, didn't know they came in other colours...nice Beharensis is one of my faves...I got it to grow as a shrub rather than the tall rather larger leafed plant they'd grow in the desert.

Noice agave americana grow well in the ground,.....no contest sharing...
I tried lithops without success maybe over watered and over loved it. Wonder what a bunch in a terrarium under a spot light would go like.....
That E. Black Prince image was a while ago now,... Nothing much doing in my pots atm,..I haven't watered for ages and will start to re pot a few this season. Although my aloe plicatilis (fan aloe) flowered this winter it's in the images above I bring it in -4c it does not like.Found my K. beharensis pic

Nice plants and garden. Judgeing by the looks of your picks it has grown it for at least 3 seasons. You have a great eye for placement and arangement. If your talking about the americana in my pic, its to small to plant in the ground at the moment. Sadley my mother americana died in a bad frost last year. Lithops are a hit and miss for me. Through ALOT of experimentation i have found that they like to be grown like cactuses except for less light. Another thing i have found is they will usually die when you water them when they are growing new leaves. i wait untell the old leafs are completeley dry. I was just wondering about the black prince because mine is flowering at the moment. The Aloe your talking about is probabley a winter grower. whats that Echeveria first pick last set crossed with? I also love thoes two brom blooms in the last set(if i i.d them corectley) here are a few picktures of some Aloes and Aloe hybrids. Sorry for the bad last pick.

Thanks for the Lithop tips. I see aloe's are your thing...just got myself a tree aloe and it's having it's first winter outside close to the house and has survived with some orange at the tips...
The Eche is a Blue Curl that's all the info I have on that one Cali
Get many birds in with the Banksia's in flower jason?
Here's a little something that flew into my garden about a month ago..not a plant but in the garden.

:Edit: i forgot to ad, dont water lithops during the winter. Just like all winter growers. and ill add another lithop. picture.
No problem im happy to help. Aloe and Echeveria are my favorite succulent Genuses. Iknow im a little late but i dug up a crappy pick of a mature plantlet growing on a leaf on my K. diagremontiana. I might as well post an Echeveria teaser.

I get heaps of birds up here Smithers of all sorts, and this will break your hart but when i go walking through the bush around my place we get heaps of those very plants you are posting in rubish piles still growing i hate seeing it because it recks the bush, but sometime if there's something i don't have i take it next time i go for a walk and see some thing i'll take some picks so you can see how waistfull people are.
Here's a funny pick for all you gardeners i hope i don't upset anyone but i am jelouse of this tree on my little beach area my partner seems to like it though lol.:lol:
And here's the full pic.
It's a Red Edge Pandanus or Screw pine and its not called that for that reason, it's because of the leaf structure i like watering it and watching the water run down around the leaves like a water feature.
