I have a shadehouse and many plants in the patio,however we now have a
drought and can only water with buckets.I have a Jacaranda in full
flower.
pansies in polystyrine boxes,but at the moment we can only water three
times
a week,and no sprinklers or hoses.
I have carnations jist put in from seedlings but agin they are weedy.We
have
to let the lawns die,at the moment.
Some people have roses but I put in minitures,and they are Yuk.at the
moment.
Regards
Fiona.
I am a Yorkshire woman and would love to see Forsythia again,and Christmas
Roses.

If you really want to grow temperate plants in tropical Queensland I've
seen
it done by erecting the opposite of a greenhouse - a shadehouse, using
tall
poles and thick green netting. You may need some extra moisture as well.
