Thursday in the Garden

This is our Bottlebrush. Socks planted it for MoMo, so she will feel at home when she comes to visit him.

It is a native of Australia just like MoMo.

We thinks they are both very pretty.

This is a close up of it's bloom.

Our swamp Iris.

The compost pile. We puts leaves, vegetable peels, coffee grounds and stuff in here and it is suppose to make dirts for our plants.

I've never seen a bottle bush before...thanks for sharing it with us.

How big is your compost area? It looks quite large. We are thinking about getting one to help with fertilizer and waste cost.

What a super groovy bush! Never seen one like that! It's a nice place to remember MoMo.

Now that's love, planting a bush so Mom will feel at home when she visits. And what pretty flowers. You're a good guy, Socks.

Those are all great plants - but the bottle brush really does look like it could brush a bottle! We have never seen one of those before - very cool!

For those interested in the size of the compost thing

Each bin is roughly 4x4 and there are 3 bins. Daddy used chicken wire for the sides. So far it is working OK. ~AFSS

Yay for the Bottlebrush! We have a large tree in our yard. It is not blooming; it's winter for us and only the Christmas tree and the cacti are flowering.
