Our Garden - LOTS of photos very sorry :(

Well when we first moved here it looked like this:

Looking Right:


Now it looks like this (please excuse the very sloppy panorama ):



To be fair the hard work was done by my amah, Nerie, but I have done a lot of the planting and am growing herbs and garlic etc as they are rubbish here
Here are a few photos I took today of the plants in our garden.

Frangipani (my favourite flower ever):


Little cactus flowers:



Various Bamboos:




Fern:


Bougainvillea:


Orchid (I think the first one looks like it's going "wazzaaaaaaaap"):




Grass I am growing for the bunnies:


And some more:














I love my macro lens

that looks lovely - you and Nerie must have done a lot of hard graft!

Wow - what a difference.

Fantastic pictures too!

What a transformation. You really must have been working solidly on it since you arrived. Great pictures too.

Great pics, love the plants, you've done loads! It's briliant to see plants that would be houseplants here, outside there and they look so good too.

wow that looks fab, well done

Blimey H that rocks! And that panoramic shot was wicked! How on earth did you get that to work together?

Well it's very wonky Charl, I just used a photo editing software, got a blank page and inserted the photos one by one...

Thanks guys, Nerie always asks me if we "have this one in England?" about all the plants and I keep saying no!

I told her the price of orchids and her jaw hit the floor, here I bought those for $7 each (approximately 2 quid) whereas UK they are 20-25 quid am I right?

Nerie has done all the hard work - uprooting etc

Beautiful garden, the plants look amazing and i love the hammock

the hammock rocks. It's a double one so I can literally hide away in there on my own with a book (there are cushions in there which is why it looks like I am hiding a cadaver) or Mr B and I can snuggle up. Although usually it is too warm for snuggling. We are going to get a ceiling fan put in over it so it is cooler

Ace pics Helen, your garden looks awesome!

Hubby and I have a hammock we have been dying to put up but we have nowhere to stick it

WAHEY!

Ahem, sorry

You can buy stands for them, nice solid wooden things...?
