Four plants of `Lady Banksia´ make for seven pleached arches that aretrimmed or  tied-in with jute twine every few months. My neighbor wishes it was more often. Although Lady B. blooms but once a year, the wall-sculpture is in green for 10-11 months, here on the border of Zone 7 & 8. Still, I even enjoy its  twiggy bareness in January.

Inside the arches, Italian ceramic masks patronize the seasons.
