Actually it is a Trailing Lotus (Lotus berthelotii).
(It's the plant with orange flowers in the photo)
I planted it at the end of September last year, as a fill in plant, not
knowing it was going to grow and grow and....
We measured it today and it is 5 metres x 4 metres and covered in flowers.
Sure makes a great ground cover. :-)

It's often sold/grown over here as a hanging basket plant and thrown away at
the end of summer. To see it as it should be grown is wonderful, thanks.
