I keep coming back to creeping Betty.I note that it is a climber and that it is yellow. In my parents Christchurch garden there is a bush that is similar,It too only flowers once a year. The flowers are bright orange. They only last about a week. Then are gone. We all love it. We look forward to it every year. It is very special to us. We think of it as our private Christmas tree. It looks like a hydrangea but it’s not!

How can such a lovely flower as the Treasure be considered an enviromeantal weed. I am interested in the flowers of Africa as I was born in Joehannasburg but left when still a baby.Orange is one of my favourite colours.

I love these. I don’t know much about gardens except there nice to look at. THE Asslym takes my fancy for some funny reason it reminds me of Asylums.I think I am a bit stressed today.I need to spend some more time here in the garden obviously. I think creeping Betty has more character than caltivar
