Pirianda Garden



The 11 hectare terraced gardens of Pirianda opens to public and the garden are distinctive for their combination of botanically important trees such as mountain Ash, large blackwoods, shrubs and perennials. 
The garden is particularly beautiful in autumn when the trees change colour to the many hues of orange, red and yellow.
Pirianda Gardens was established about 40 years ago by Mr and Mrs Harvey Ansell of Ansell Industries. Many of the plants came from overseas and collected by the Ansell throughout their extensive oversea travels.

Bush Creek Wild Flowers

This flower is known as Agapanthus African Lily. The blue, violet and white tubular flowers are borne around the terminal branch and held high above the fountain of strap-like leaves.

I guess the above could be the pincushion type-like flower. 


Wild grass flower. 



It is called the Lythrum Purple Loosestrife which is really a waterside plant and it will grow in any soil  or in a pond-side garden. 


It is a strongly growing, upright plant that needs no support.
