Reading about your garden is like reading about another universe: such a interesting and different flora than I am used to. It is fascinating to see how plants and flowers adapt to the hot climate and how different their leaves look in comparison to the rain-accustomed flowers here.
But one thing we have in common that here also people plant flowers and trees which are not native and so do not help the wildlife especially the insects which die out because they do not find their food. We try to have a lot of native plants in the garden, but these are not necessary the most beautiful… like nettle :-DDDDD
