Your garden is full of genuinely exotic plants. Your photos are always fun to see. The fountain is very clever.

Thanks. We are fortunate to have a sub-tropical climate and most plants grow quite easily. People joke that if you push a walking stick into the ground in Durban it will grow.  Grin

The donkey tail grew well in the fountain, but we had a dry winter and the plants round the base died off so I've just planted some Wandering Jew that seemed to survive the drought. We've also had a problem with moles that have managed to make the fountain lopsided.  Haven't figured out to right it without breaking the fountain  :icon_rolleyes:

What's that white-barked tree in the background?

It's a leopard tree. Apparently indigenous to Australia. Pretty bark, but they can make a mess with the leaves. They have hard, dark brown flat seed pods, which make quite a noise when they fall on the carport roof  :icon_rolleyes:,

Forgotten the name  :icon_rolleyes:. We have a few of them. I will find out.  :)
