Horus Posted January 30, 2011 Well my cyber buddies its time for this lurkers contribution. I am on the forum every day,and am across all the info and issues, I just dont like typing. So anyhow,I have just cracked a bottle of whisky, taken half a day to work out how to resize pics, and here is my yearly garden happy snaps. Being a lurker doesnt mean I am not totally involved in this community. I love having guest visitors,and being generous in trading,and storytelling. I will say....here on my own thread,I have been disappointed at the slanging matches and degenerating of good threads. Yes i was even a victim of the downfall of Chiral. But being a member for 8 years I know the quality will return. I look forward to meeting more of you at this years NSW camping trip and meetings. So without any further ado, here are some pics. I love the different sculptural shapes of cacti and succulents Brug and a 20ft khat in skyline Fat Scopi erection My shrooming temple Now I hope this does not upset Planthelper too much as I know he has some issues, ....but here is my Nexus!!Very healthy and happy in the hothouse. And one of those things you can grow in NSW Folks, you can see my Caapi in another post today. Best wishes to all....and here we go on another year on the Coorroboree. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horus Posted February 10, 2011 Thanks so much everybody for your comments. It has encouraged me to continue this post. I have an outdoor bar,perfect for an ethno meet one day Anyone keen to have a few whiskies,feel free to contact me. The obligatory 3 tear fish pond A Bali style pool garden Acacia Confusa in the foregroung Massive Monster All the encouragement has inspired me to do an outdoor room makeover in my shrooming lodge. Under the shadow of my Caapi,with tentacles coming in thru the window to join me. I know its not all ethno pics,but to me Gardening is a passion, and the fact that I can interact on another level with ethnos,is cream on top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alice Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) Love the temple. Especially how you've integrated all the parts together, some people just have an eye for this, clearly you do. Love the mondo softening the transition from path to bench, the understory ferns on the left do this splendidly as well. And the spanish moss hanging. Beautiful rug too! So good to see a true gardener. Good variety, not just ethno plants in pots. I love seeing what people do with their homes, gives me ideas for my own place. I've counted like 10 microclimates in your pics You're created an excellent space. I bet you play a lot of guitar in there. I'd drive down for sure if you had a meet at your place. Great bar, what timber did you use for the top? And have you a close up pic of your koi? I love goldfish/koi, I have ranchu's Edited February 10, 2011 by Alice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
