'Hortisexual'? How exactly does one have sex with a cactus?
Please don't read anything into laziness and pragmatism.
I describe my garden as 'eclectic and informal'. An unkind person might say unplanned ans untidy
I love my garden,but hate the work involved. Plus,over the last few years we have had 'level 4' water restrictions. Watering your garden is only permitted 3 times a week, for 2 hours at dawn and at dusk, by hand only ,using a gun spray, or by bucket at any time. No washing your car with a hose. We get government subsidies for installing rain water tanks and low flush toilets.
Every plant in my garden,including 30 odd rose bushes, is either drought resistant or,more commonly,drought tolerant.
I will post photos of my huge bottle brush,wall of jasmine,native franjipini in flower,and others..
Hang on, I think I have some. I've posted these before, but you may not have seen them:
