Time to Plant out Musa Ensete maurelii ,

                  O.K. It's now safe to plant out my Banoonaahs  .  

                Shuffle and bump technique to get it out of the pot .

Last end of August I had a serious spine injury and I am very grateful to my lovely son-in-law who not only got the Banana plants out and under cover for the winter , but dug out nice big hole and put a large pot in it to keep it open . This has really helped me for the replanting of the beast today .  Well one of them.  I've actually got two of these . I'm just planting out one of them today .

 All I had to do was a little bit of weeding , enlarge the hole a little bit , shuffle and bump it out of the pot and roll it , until it just dropped down into the hole !

                             "Little bit of weeding "

                     Rolling and dropping !         Boomph !   

                        Straightening it up a little . Firm it in .

                                   Perfect !    

                  🌧️  And now we have rain to settle him in !  🌧️⛈️

               I am off up to the shed to pot up some cuttings .

                                        🌿💛🌿

 

Epiphyllum Frosty Rose - Flower 🩷🌿

 

        Epiphyllum Frosty Rose 

Very dainty , medium size flower . Beautiful . I put my hand in to show size .  Certainly smaller than the other ones I've shown you recently . 

                                         🌿🩷🌿 

Meanwhile out in the herb garden ....

Captain Cook's Tea Tree has been putting on a lovely display . 

I hope our local bees are enjoying it . This is where the Manuka Honey comes from , the bees that feed on these flowers .

The medicinal  oil is extracted from it's leaves .

I didn't think it would survive Storm Gorretti . It was really beaten up !

I think it has been very stressed by those cruel winds . I couldn't see any leaves until I climbed up to look closer . Yes , closer up , I can see some leaves .

I wonder how easy it would be to take a few cuttings .  I might try .

                 Her flowers are so pretty !

 The seed pods are interesting too , you can just see a couple on this branch .

You need to get up closer to see how lovely they are . There's the labyrinth and vegetable garden beyond .

  I must climb back down now and go and water everything .

It's actually more overcast this morning and we may get some gentle rain on Monday . 

    

             Have a beautiful Sunday ; go and make it a great day !

                                       Peace and Love

Epiphyllum Frosty Rose - bud 🌿

 

               In my greenhouse today .........

                                      Epiphyllum Frosty Rose 

            She did have two buds , but I can see one has withered away .

  This whole plant needs to be divided up and repotted with nice fresh compost .

         There might be a snail or two ......   🐌🐌🐌...... !!!
