Gardening in a courtyard does not afford vistas of annuals, or deeply fertile raised beds. It relies on ingenuity, nooks, and bric-a-brac. I have a range of plantings, but not multiples of the same variety. This week, I realised how many flowers there are in pink. Next week I will show you the difference a year makes.

They would make the courtyard pretty but beware those second two, they can invade everything. I am forever trying to get rid of it in my garden. I don't know its real name but its nick name is "creeping Jesus"
Hah! I know it as 'wandering jew'. I agree that it is hard to eradicate. But all my plants are in pots, and hence contained.
One the midnight hour has struck, have a look at Sydney Eye. You know who is on it!
Like your new avatar ...
I have not heard it called that before but sure know the plant in my garden. Love the hot pink colours, especially the one on the bottom right which I guess is some sort of cactus and of course the begonia on the left, mine are only now beginning to stir again after their winter melt down.
I do quite a bit of gardening in pots myself. Some of the plants I love to grow -- magnolia coco, michelia champaca, even bluberries -- require an acid soil that we don't have out here unless we make our own.
Love the coral color in the lower right hand. What is it?
The 'coral' is a bloom from a Christmas Cactus. It is not quite this vivid in reality, but somehow my camera settings find it difficult to cope with it luminosity.
I think you'll find what you have there is a "poofery of pink".
What's that in the 6th photo?
That's guara, isn't it? Was nagging at me ever since I saw the picture.
A 'poofery of pink' ... I like that! Not PC of course, which simply adds to its alure ...
#6 and #5 are the same plant ...
Sorry, Hiker ... not guara ... which I had to google.
