Trailing Abutilon or Chinese Lantern has been flowering continuously for the last year and a half at least (Abutilon megapotamicum or Callianthe megapotamica) native to Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay a shrub that can grow to 2.5 metres tall. Mine does spread a fair bit but usually is less than two feet high. I pretty much haven’t watered it for the last year and it’s still green and colourful. Propagates really easily from cuttings or layering. #flower #argentina #brazil #uruguay #abcmygarden #longflowering #repeatflowering #perennial #bush #shadelover #easygrow #potplant #red #yellow #layering #cuttings (at Belmont, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp65xYxvi5d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

4 au 10 janvier 2021

It was a very cold week. The ground has been frozen in the mornings. The landscapers have started building a short retaining wall around the Mediterranean garden around the pool. I spent most of the week removing pine needles, olives and leaves from under the plants. I also did a bit of weeding. I lightly pruned a few Brugmansia and will see how they perform.

I weeded around many of the citrus trees. Michel says he thinks the cold will harm the roots, so I didn’t continue. I really hope nothing happens to those trees.

It’s been so cold that I have put off some pruning of Cestrum nocturnum that will have to wait until after the overnight temperatures stop dipping below freezing. I also want to cut down the grasses soon.

I took more cuttings of the Lavendula. There are also some roses that will need to be propagated this year too.

Tuesday Denis stopped by and I gave him a quick show around the garden. Florian was also here. However, he was in a rush so we didn’t have any time for a catch-up. It was great to see him again. He was in my course at London College of Garden Design in 2012/2013.

Thursday my DSL router arrived and that evening Lucien helped me get my WiFi and television all up and running. It’s so nice to have the Internet here.

Saturday night I decided to swap bedrooms, including curtains. I pushed the other bed against the wall to get my desk to fit in the new study. The printer is up and running on WiFi. It’s definitely starting to feel more like home.

Sunday I went to a surprise party for a friend of a friend in Antibes. There were seven of us for the afternoon of good food, dancing and a little fun. Of course we all departed in time to make it home before the 18.00 curfew.

At first, I thought this was a houzuki (winter cherry), but it’s completely different and doesn’t carry a fruit inside.
