    "Ceanothus rigidus is flowering as never before, and the almost navy blue flowers are simply exquisite with a foil of forget-me-nots; a few white Germanica irises are in the offing, and a clump of prostrate rosemary leaves nothing more to be desired in this particular picture."

    "Letters to Garden Lovers", Australian Home Beautiful, November 1943.
