This pot of 3 different cacti/succulents was given by Shirley to Mark. I don't have a clue to their names.
ADDED ON 30 AUGUST 2012 - I saw Shirley looking sadly at this pot - all the cacti/succulents have rotted away as they were standing in a pot of water. I had not realised that there were no draining holes (I drill holes in mine) in this pot and therefore did not notice the water there.

[StH] Pink for Michaela
We see a lot of red bottlebrushes (Callistemon) everywhere - but there is a 'Perth Pink' variety. My neighbour (over the fence) has one such tree and when it blooms, it is really very nice. (Spring - October 2011)
[StH] Grevillea olivacea – Apricot Glow
In an effort to create a 'look' for the front of St Helena, I bought a Grevillea olivacea – Apricot Glow. It cost me A$22 from Bunnings and I planted it out in mid July 2012. Hopefully in a couple of years, I will get a 2m bush bearing this type of flowers.
