I'm an Edna Walling fan. Love that she designed and built the gardens almost single handed and that they were so impressive and attuned to nature. She well deserves her glorious place in gardening history.
I thought I was blown away by the babiana growing in amongst the terrace stones, but when I saw those ixia it was gale force. I have never seen them so big and floriferous and I live in their land of South Africa.
Hi Stephen & Matt well I take my Hat Off to Edna Walling what a Brilliant garden mind she had Amazing woman Thanks for sharing guys! Happy Gardening 🌸🐝🦟
Wonderful, what a privilege to live and caretake in this amazing landscape , most beautiful gardens and trees I think I’ve seen, I use to love going to Mount Wilson in NSW but this is truly magnificent, thank you gentlemen
It's always nice to be reminded that the work I'm doing today will only truly be appreciated long after I'm gone. I've spent the last year turning the front entrance of the property into an avenue of proteacea leading past a wide narciussus bed onto a Mediterranean garden and then through to a traditional European orchard.... and in 50 years or so, It will be spectacular. Realistically, I've got way less than 20 years of 'spectacular' left in me...... but hopefully the next generation will be provided with the bones of a lovely garden to work with.
Love oxalis. Have one I put on my mother's gave at her funeral but they gave me the pot back and it still grows in the same pot years later. I love them and they grow in the desert heat here. Have a 30 year old wisteria vine on the north side and it's is a trooper shouldering this terrible climate change but I water it every day. Amazing hundred year old vines in bloom. Awesome topic for a video!
When you say copper beech I'm assuming you are referring to fagus sylvatica.., European beech....??? Am I correct?? Like Australia sylvatica won't grow here in the southeast US,,,, so I'm experimenting with cultivars that are grafted onto our native fagus grandiflora...grandiflora grows here like a weed so that is why I am trying this..the gurus say it won't work but 3 years in now the tree is fine...time will tell I suppose...also,,,have you thought about 'kew's weeping' as a parottia to try that will stay small ?? I have one that is grafted and it suckers madly so I rooted 2 to try on its own roots to try keeping the suckering at bay...hope it works....m
Regarding the natural 'grafting' on the Parrotia persica, I discovered there's a similar phenomenon that occurs between two different trees. Wikipedia says "Inosculation is a natural phenomenon in which trunks, branches or roots of two trees grow together in a manner biologically similar to the artificial process of grafting."
This is a really interesting video. Thanks. My mum had a great interest in Edna Walling back in the eighties, especially her stonework, and I've collected a couple of books about her gardens myself. ♥🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘
Several of the owners do have dogs so I assume its fine. Edna is certainly an important figure in our landscaping history and any books by her or about her would make a good read. Regards Stephen

A pleasure and I hope you do. Regards Stephen

De inheemse flora van Australië is heel anders dan wat ik gewend ben in noordwest Europa.
Zeer mooi!
Bedankt voor het kijken!

Where are you gardening?
Hi. The last few videos are streaming at 720p max. I am missing the ultra HD quality especially when looking at gardens. Can you please bring it back.
Nothing has changed with our video formatting.
There surely is a TH-cam channel in heaven-and it’s called “The Horti-Culturalists.”
Well what can we say to that flattery? Thank you I guess. Regards Stephen
Thank you!
Sorry if I am being a pest but I need some advice on how to germinate Wollemi pine seeds. Thank you in advance. Gilbert.
They don't need any pre treatment just sow and lightly cover with fine gravel or course sand. Regards Stephen

All interesting stuff and I hope the grafting works. As far as I know we don't have the weeping Parrotia here in Australia. Regards Stephen

Yes I’ve seen the same thing although it isn’t as common as this trees tendency o graft itself. Regards Stephen
Hello! my friend.
not sure may have seen cooper beech in Turramurra syd.
Love to know if you really did or not. Regards Stephen
Ik heb een grote roodkleurige beuk.
Echter, niet mijn favoriete boom.
