Aiken Gardener Finds Similar Flora In Australian Gardens
Mary Tenant, a West Virginia native living in Aiken, notes many plants mirror those in Australia during 17 months in Victoria. Roses at Melbourne Cup, hydrangeas, begonias, and rhododendron appear in both regions while Kangaroo’s Paw and eucalyptus showcase distinct Aussie flora. The two lands share climate based similarities with minor tree differences and vivid tropical color landscapes.
