Phormium tenax 'Jester'


Phormium tenax 'Jester' (Phormium tenax)

This Phormium is in a large pot. I planted the apricot Diascia round it three years ago, and I'm surprised that it grows each year!

Diascia are one of the toughest little plants, aren't they ?
Those two are a good colour combination :-))
Same as Nemesia.
They too look delicate but they're not ! (well not here anyway!)

The Phormium provides some protection too, do you think?...:>)

But if you'd seen the poor thing waving madly in the gale (again!) this afternoon, you'd wonder how ANYTHING survived! lol.
