We've had both the caterpillars and the moths several times in our garden in Kaya although we only had half a dozen or so oleander plants and there weren't any in the surrounding fields.

We've also had loads of these little fellas in the garden, on the terrace and a few indoors.

This is another shrub that grows well here, has a pretty flower and doesn't need watering. Cut back every year.

The downside is it self seeds. The pink one below is growing out of the trunk of my palm tree.








Available in different colours

That's what the frog is sitting on.

oh yes, took me a moment to get it   ;)

We had a frog (or a toad) in the kitchen a couple of nights ago - pretty big too. I tried to get a photo but think they are probably blurry.

Frogs generally have moist, shiny, smooth skin and they jump. Toads have dry, warty skin and they tend to walk rather than jump.  ;)

Hi Josef,
We used the garden centre oppersite Migros and they were really competitive on price and included the planting too.
Brought the plants, they were delivered and planted next morning.
Great service.
