Additional planting

The Heliconia bed directly in front of the house main door (which actually doesb't face the street but to the left ie to LHS the neighbour's property) was plumped up with 3 large bagged specimens that bore deep red flowers (two of them) and light red-pink with yellow border.

The planting was brought all the way forward right up to the edge of the cobblestone circle to ensure restricting a full length view of the garden.





The first bed facing one (on stepping onto pathway) was strengthened with Thaumatococcus danielli from under the Plumeria tree, along the wall till the first Heliconia bed.

To our left, another large-leafed ginger (?) was added. This was also brought far out to be nearer the pathway.




BL is seen here packing in aloe vera as an underplanting for the wild yams.

That potted Philodendron (three plants in the pot actually) (in shot below) would be planted along the open drain edge of the bed at three spots. They will in due course conceal a large part of the drain.



Cover plants under the citrus on LHS of circle. The opposite side ie under the Jasmines will be similarly underplanted.



Watering was immediately carried out for new plantings. Good for the plants and good to stretch the cramped muscles. That's BengTeck handling the hose.
