That Grevillea Neil Bell is the brightest red one I've seen, and floriferous too! The water lily is such a bright luminous yellow. And the Eryngium maritimum is silverly impressive, it looks really prickly too.

Neil Bell makes me skip a beat every time I see him, and the same with that Alstromeria. Did you know that a Swede - Claes Alströmer - was a student of Carl von Linnaeus? He sent seeds back to Linnaeus from South America, who in turn named the Alstromeria after him. As an additional note of interest; Claes's father Jonas Alströmer was the one who taught Swedes to grow and eat potatoes. How's that for Saturday morning trivia? Have a great time with your open garden.
