Red robins
Small hedge-type bushes growing at the front corner.
They seem to be going ok, although of course I wish they were faster at forming a hedge-type barrier. I do like the red tips of new growth (they look like small robins about to take flight). Yesterday afternoon, I pruned them so that they were all of the same height.
The lily-pillies are frustrating me with their slow growth and I believe they may be replaced with hibiscus trees, pink Ruth Wilcox variety.

Beautiful blue
I was charmed this evening when watering the garden by a stunning bright blue butterfly fluttering about the water bowl out the back (for the chooks).
I stood still and tried to snap it, and here is what emerged. Electric blue it was. Gorgeous. What a wonderful, sweet and lovely thing.
