How to have a garden with year round interest

Even though summer has well and truly come to an end (and I'm feelin' it in my bones), there's still some wonderful colour in my garden.

Yes, we now have a garden to accompany our little rural 'pod' ie. our current residence and my future studio. It's the first non-productive garden to be developed in our Pipers River paradise, and it's coming along nicely! 

You too could be enjoying a fabulous flowering garden in autumn...just include some of these little beauties, suited to a range of garden styles.

Flowering in my garden now:

Wonderful mauve and white Westringias...

Golden yellow buttons above the silver green clumps of Chrysocephalum foliage...

Delicate purple blooms of the Derwentia are held above foliage reminiscent of some juvenile eucalypts
 (the plant that keeps on giving...after an initial blooming burst in early spring)...

Crowea, with pretty pink flowers displayed practically year-round...

Brachycome, Jumbo tricolour, with lovely flowers of mauve,
fading to pink and 
almost white...

Bursts of lime-coloured foliage in grasses and cognata add interest,
along with the deep green tones of Dianella, Correa and Kangaroo paw.

And fairy wren's continue to dart amongst it all!
