27 Nov 2018: ..aaaaand flowered! So clean, and pretty.



28 Nov 2018:

13 July, 2019 - I moved this plant to the back garden, along the edge of the garden beds. It seems to have survived the move and looks like it's growing ok, and getting taller. I do like the pretty striated leaves in the sunshine.



Still a young small plant though.


17 July 2019 - I'm liking her getting taller.


9 August, 2019 - It has recently grown very tall, and I notice lots of buds!






18 August, 2019 - Almost there....


20 August, 2019 - 


27 Aug - Et voila!


Beautiful!


5 Sept 2019 -

Gardenia about to flower for the first time!

Look at those huge, full green buds!



Update 12 Nov 2018: first bud beginning to open -


Aaaaand...lift off! 13 Nov 2018 Such a sweet perfume, too.



Bird bath petunias

There's pretty blue lobelia scattred in there, and light grey/green dichondra at the front.

Spreading out the soil from the old garden beds around the lawn.







Flame Tree about to flower?

This morning I thought it rather odd that many leaves from the flame tree had dried and fallen on the ground. I looked more closely and lo! I believe it is about to flower. Leaves off, small orange buds, new growth.




Flame trees elsewhere - the way it is supposed to look -

Stimson Park, Moorooka


28 Nov 2018: Stimson Park again, on the fade - 


Looking a bit derelict now that the fire has gone!
