Sunlight filtering through the huge Kanuka onto my own seed-raised Clivea. Just loving this view of an area that was paddock just 3 years ago. In fact, we used to come and sit under the trees on the hottest of days. Now it is even nicer to sit under, with the planting of lush foliage shrubs in behind to hide the ugly pine trees across the river. But at the moment it is all about the Cliveas. Oh, the Cliveas!
It can take about 4 years for a Clivea to have it's first flowers, so I am extra excited to see some of mine doing this for the first time. At some stage we will hopefully put a couple of bath tubs under the trees, but for now, it is just a lovely view from both outside the planting, and within. And aren't the tree trunks are fabulous, too?
