Christmas Day 2018, and a much better Boxing Day

Mass at St. Mary's - the church looked very pretty.

Boxing Day was spent at Anne's. It was a lovely, relaxing day.

Christmas Eve 2018 - House lit for festive season.

Wet garden shots today

Very wet weather today (product of northern cyclone) so I took some photos. I like the fence a dark colour. Paint job ahead!

So much work to be done out the back here. But progress is being made, very slowly.

Moved hula girl + updates

Moved the caliandra to the back fence. It has been in the ground for some weeks now, with no apparent growth or development. It hasn't died either, which is good.

26 April, 2019: Looking for foliant but no bigger, and no branching out.

22 Dec 2019 - there seems to be some growth going on. I love the vibrant green new shoots on it. Who knows what shape she will be eventually?

Moved two bougs

Moved them from the garden beds (around the flame tree, and where there was once lavender growing) and put them along the fence. It appears they have taken, about which I am pleased. There are new tiny leaves on them, so hopefully they will grow big over the fence.

I'm not sure which colour is which yet. One is purple, the other is temple fire.

# 1 moved. 
Will block that hole in the foliage facing the corner. Not sure what colour this one is.

 

14 Jan 2019 - It has taken and grown!!

14 Feb 2019: Looking green and growing taller, but no flower as yet.

27 Feb 2019 - Looks like it's the orangey-brown boug. This must be the temple fire colour. 

It has just started flowering!

2 March 2019:

Want this one to block the hole in the foliage facing the Meier's place. This is a pinky-purple colour, very close to the red boug already there.

14 Jan 2019: Still small, but has taken and is growing! Great! It's a lovely reddy-burnished orange, which goes to a pretty purple colour. It's Bougy Tango.

7 Dec 2019 - Beautiful- 

27 Feb 2019: Seems to be doing quite well - I love the two pinky-red colours together there.

15 July, 2019 - the lovely red boug which has been there a long time, lost it's leaves for a bit, and is now shooting again. The colour is beautiful. It has a small flower, and espalliers itself along the side fence.
