The Acacia came from the Kings Park plant sale, and is supposed to have cream flowers and grow in lateritic soils. Not sure what happened there, but its practically fluorescent with so many flowers.

Verge gardens of note part 1.
Native verge gardens are springing up all around. Here are some before and after shots of Rick and Kiely's verge in Fremantle, which was one year old last weekend. With a bit of help from family & friends it was planted in one day, and one year on it looks great!
