I was very fortunate to receive a Laccospadix australasica a couple of weeks back. I took my time to decide its final position as I didn't know if it was the clumping form or not. I have been told by a very knowledgeable friend that it is a single trunk form and should have a nice red new leaf. Awesome! The weather has been kind the soil is usually bone dry at this time of year but recent heavy falls mean that the soil is really easy to dig and I don't have to fill the planting hole with water a few times before I plant. It now lives in my front garden.

The ptychosperma elegans was a surprise find at my local hardware store. I only bought it today and planted it as soon as I got home a little further down the path from the Laccospadix.

All they need now is a bit of mulch.
