You'll need to hang with me and have a bit of vision on this one.
At the top picture a three metre high Rhododendron Cornubia, with bright red flowers, beside Camellia japonica Katherine Nuccio, a camellia of about the same size with rose-red double blooms. On "the shelf" below, a native cedar called a Kawaka, a pink Camellia Transpink, covered with lots of little flowers, and a California Redwood, all surrounded by hellebores to provide evergreen ground color (also flowers in winter). Last but not least, at the bottom, are three Filifera Aurea, golden conifers. These will get reasonably big over time and cover across the base. So picture this hillside covered.
This past weekend I was out planting those hellebores, and did just that.
Clearly clean up yet to do at the top (we'll be taking out that fence), and a lot of growing to be done by the plants involved. But it's on the way, everyone just needs vision (and time).
