The story nobody was hiding very well

Behind Closed Gates

A Perth collection, a weakness for the unusual and one familiar confession: there is always room for one more frangipani.

Not a mass nursery

Collected with obsession. Released with restraint.

Frangis After Dark began with the plants themselves: rare colours, unusual forms, named cultivars and the stories that make collectors look twice.

When something leaves the collection, it should leave honestly. Real photographs. A known cultivar where provenance exists. The exact cutting or plant identified whenever that matters. No mystery substitutes after checkout.

Entry 01What you see is ours

The collection pages use photographs and video of these plants and their blooms—not anonymous catalogue imagery pretending every season looks identical.

Entry 02Names deserve respect

Cultivar labels and available provenance are retained because a rare plant should arrive with an identity, not merely a colour description.

Entry 03Small on purpose

Availability is seasonal and limited. A listing says “Not Tonight” when nothing is actually for sale, even if that is less convenient.

Entry 04Serious plants. Wicked copy.

The names invite stories, but the transaction stays clear: condition, quantity, price and movement restrictions are never hidden behind the flirtation.
