No idea so many types of bamboo, some are invasive so be careful to pick the non invasives.

Bamboo Down Under - Australia's number one retail bamboo nursery!
Said nursery is bloody expensive! They really mark up retail sales. Look at their wholesale prices on the website - about half the retail. If you can find what you want elsewhere then buy it. Their bangalow palms were 3-4 times more expensive than elsewhere last time I looked

If anyone is after Palms, the place in Narangba we use is excellent, older cpl have a huge Palm nursery in their backyard, and do some bloody good deals.

Our Hibiscus and Magnolia have been a success, but only in pots, as then we can move them under the porch and pergola when the heat sets in.
Ooops, I meant Gardenia's and boy do they smell nice.

Gotta agree, Gardenias do smell nice, albeit a tad pissy smelling at times, but I blame the dogs on that.

The bestest smell is off Yesterday Today Tomorrow, they smell heavenly.

Believe it or not, different species of Gardenia smell different from each other, but we'll blame it on the dogs.

Do you have a picture of one of those Steve? Edit that, just scrolled up. They look like African Violets. I wonder if they grow well here in Perth?

Haha. Just looked YTT's up and found this fact sheet. We are in a frost free area of Perth, but I doubt they will grow well because they don't like wind. It also says that the berries have been know to poison dogs.
