I love the old fashioned flowers for my garden.
They have stood the test of time.
Old fashioned plants are often drought tolerant, needing little water. They are good at keeping the weeds down.
They are good at flowering, often repeat flowering.
Flowers are good colour therapy. We plant the flowers that we are attracted to in shape and colour.
Colour is very important in our lives.
Australian hibiscus - Alogoyne, flowers in the summer months.
Beautiful golden rose.
Belladonna lily flowers in summer before the leaves come.
Echiums grow into a big bush.
They have lovely blue, stately flowers.
They look just as lovely when the blue flowers fade and the large head is all green.
I never need to water these flowers.
This hot pink pelargonium is bright and stunning.
It flowers for many months.
It is very drought tolerant.
