Everything looks fresh and colourful @Michael Hewett. Love the Fuchsias and wish I could grow them here. My Rhipsalis are growing well but not blooming.

 

Campanula portenschlagiana (Campala series)


Hydrangea paniculata ‘White Light’

 

Haven't got anything new, but lovely pics everyone.

 

Thanks @Victoria, Fuchsias always seem to do better here in the autumn when it's cooler and damper.

 

Have you ever had feijoa fruit ripen @pete? I've only eaten petals from them, and despite having 2 bushes to cross pollinate, they haven't.

 

you probably need to manually pollinate with your fingers. i believe birds pollinate them, eating the petals and getting covered in pollen.

 

They tend to ripen off the tree, I can send you some if you like, they are small this year but one tree is covered in them.

 

No thanks @pete, you've been more than kind already with the pawpaws. People have been amazed that something tasting that tropical can grow here! I didn't get many flowers anyway, so I'll probably do as @Adam I suggested next year.

 

Are both your trees different clones?

 

Yes, one is a variegated one, and the other just green. The green one is newer and still in a big pot, but I think I'll plant it fairly near to ensure easier pollination. How big are your plants?
