Sunday April 7 - morning - Beauty of the blue butterfly bush

Such a beautiful plant!

2 Jan 2020 - Still lovely, and much bigger now. I adore these plants. Such special, pretty things.

Still going well at 3 Jan 2020 -

29 Feb 2020 - some have grown very tall and still so lovely,

Went on a short cruise with family

 

Slippers - first for 2019!

Wore them yesterday 14 April 2019.

And the girls were happy their Mama was home again (and they were out of the boarding kennel!).

New pots from Reject Shop for syzygium

Bought large pots to put my front plants into - the ficus and some new ones I bought from Bunnings.

They are lilly-pilly's which are 'express' growers, apparently. I have two large and one smaller (dwarf?).

Greenery along the cruise

I wanted to document the greenery I could find along the way. All that sea blue and water left me pining for plants.

These dichondra and other succulent found on our walk along Darling Harbour.

Great red pots and large!

I did not know magnolias have a red seed.

Love how the blue plumbago has been pruned into this arch shape. Might try this at home.

White orched placed in our suit by our cabin steward.

Pretty red flowers on the dining table at La Traviata (Sea Princess).

Portmeirion vase from Sonya

Given me on the ship, for my 60th birthday.

I love the flowers, bee, dragonfly and butterfly thereon. It will be my bathroom vase.

Latest garden shot, with cameo from Taffy

Taken Friday 12 April:

Spaces filling in beautifully along the fence. Orchid tree looking large at the top. The orangey-boug at the road-corner end of the fence is not growing very tall, maybe it's a dwarf variety.
