Great garden there Colin. Thanks for the tour, and for Daryl for posting them.

I think Colin's spindle is not only the largest that far south on the east coast, but the whole country. There is no way a spindle would look that good near 35S on the west coast. I don't even think it would survive that far south on the west coast.

Best regards

Hi Colin, your garden is looking great certainly much more lush than when I visited years ago. You still have the heated pond out front?

Cheers

Hi Tyrone

What is more surprising for me is the 2 large Bottle's in the Garden, lost a few in the beginning around the garden, (including a few spindles), The spindle grew best in bright shade, the bottles best in full sun in a protected area,
