A garden that is finished, is dead - but the East Patio is planted. A quiet, green, transitional space from the house to the blue and white around the washing pergola. Three walls of spekboom hedge is the closest my garden gets to minimalism. The focal point, to replace the lime tree thru the glazed kitchen door, is a tall blue pot ~~planted with~~ ~~Plectranthus madagascariensis, Liriope, Felicia bergeriana~~ ~~Variegata~~

Tall cobalt blue pot with white and green leaves

The Ungardener painted the garstigly green wall in mocha to match the house. Streptocarpus (hybrid purple) now I can use the table to display a 'flowering' pot in season.

With Streptocarpus and Septemberbossie

Moved 2 Septemberbossie Polygala myrtifolia (only one survivor) which originally stood outside the garden gate. They have been hacked back while the house was rented, and need nurturing back to green, and flowers.
