00:00So these are my beautiful new plants. I absolutely love these. So we went shopping for Mother's Day

00:12actually and rather than just going to Bunnings this time we went to a garden centre in Runaway Bay

00:17and these are just so beautiful and special. So we've got this one I've had anyway this is an

00:25olive tree and so this one's going quite well here and and I'm going to then get a

00:30lavender as well to go with this but this and when he chose this giraffe these are called

00:37baby's toes would you believe so that's actually the name of them they're succulents

00:42and they're little baby's toes and I absolutely love them so I think that looks lovely in the giraffe

00:49and then this do you know shamefully I don't actually even know the names of these

00:55but um but they look lovely in the shelves so I bought them this one now there's a little bit

01:03of a mini story about this so these three plants so you can see there's sort of another ground creeper

01:09here and then this fern and then this one so in the actual garden centre they had an arrangement

01:14in a pot similar to that but it was actually on a giraffe statue

01:19and they had the fern in the middle and they had these two ground covers around the edge of the pot

01:26sort of starting to come down like this and I love that arrangement so much and I thought that is just

01:33so beautiful and so I really wanted to get get those plants for here and we went up to the lady who was

01:42working there and with you know I asked her about looking after them and sure enough they're in

01:46their shade basically and Luke just rolled his eyes because these are the sort of plants

01:51I grew up in Victoria in a little country town called Warburton and these are exactly the sort of plants

01:57especially this fern that you'd find in a cooler climate rainforest so so I thought oh of course

02:04I've bought plants that are probably going to maybe a little bit struggle out here

02:08so then the need came for a shading plant so that's the story behind this plant so I actually bought

02:16this plant to shade these plants and then I asked about this one and the lady said this one can

02:23stand full sun so it's going to be fine out here however it does need to acclimatise a little bit so

02:29this is a really good time to plant it we're heading into winter now so that you know you can see the

02:34skies clouded today but even the winter sun is a little bit more gentle obviously in the strong

02:39summer sun so so this is then going to have time to acclimatise to the full sun and these leaves this

02:47is going to grow really tall actually this is probably going to grow like right up there and

02:51the leaves are going to get bigger so these leaves are going to provide a really nice shelter for not

02:57only this one which I think is just so beautiful coming down this pot but also then the fern is going

03:03to go into that pot there and then that ground cover is going to go around that pot and that pillar

03:08too actually provides shade and and even these ones she said that you know planting them at this time of

03:15year is a good time of year because they can just acclimatise to their new environment now in winter

03:21and they'll build up that toughness as as we go but isn't this beautiful like this is probably the

03:27nicest plant arrangement I've had so far in terms of just um obviously the goal is to then have this

03:34creep up coming all the way down to this pot and just the pot is lovely too and I love it I absolutely

03:41love having some beautiful plants and these are actually the nicest plants I've ever had like

03:47I've always kind of just had plants like this which is also really beautiful but these are the first

03:53really sort of special ones I've been able to get from the garden center and I just love them they're just so beautiful
