@shutterbug49 Hi Debbie - they are lovely but unfortunately they compete with our little native shrubs which usually line the roadsides. I think they would be lovely in a garden in town. :)
@olivetreeann Hi Ann. I've just realised that I don't really know which country you live in. These are quite lovely and would be so cheerful in a garden. Especially in a country where they are naturally found. Unfortunately, they go quite mad in our area and take over from our little natives. They do make nice colourful photos though. Thanks for your interest. :)
@jyokota Hi Junko - isn't it unfortunate that lovely introduced species can cause problems for less robust natives. These things really are very attractive... :)
@merrelyn That's so interesting Merrelyn - we can't kill them without spraying! I wonder if the coastal conditions don't suit them. We don't get them on the GC - just in Stanthorpe. :)
@onewing Now that's interesting Babs. We don't seem to get them on the GC and Merrelyn said hers didn't do well In WA. But they do well in Stanthorpe. Who would know what makes the difference... :)
