Bee rest

I have had this blue plate in this position, on a plinth in the middle under the main arch for years now. I decided to add water to the clear glass marbles I have there, and a small sponge so that bees and butterflies could have a rest and a drink there. Haven't seen any using it though!

2 little bougs for the neighbours side

Almost a month ago, I bought two little bougs from the Salvos. Had no idea what colour they were. One (on the left of the two) is growing very well indeed, but as yet no flower.

The one on the right has been slow to take off, but I noticed this morning a flower or two! and it is, gratifyingly, a pretty pink one.

7 April 2020 -  looking bigger now - 

Work - found a new tree and other things

Taffy does not want me to work on the things I have to do!

At the place where I now work, there are some lovely trees. This poinciana is in front of the main Admin building.

This tree is a native, and has pretty pink puff-balls growing along it's branches. It's a EUODIA, and apparently attracts birds and butterflies.

I've ordered one from Daley's nursery.

Twilight garden

I mowed the lawn late as I had been busy all day. I love how it looks with the grass mown, and everything tidy.

Queen's Wreath #3

I bought this tiny one from and planted it in the front.

Then it rained quite heavily and it seemed to like that, sprouting a whole gamut of fresh green leaves.

25 Jan 2020 - Today these look quite healthy and I hope it keeps going. The purple flower, eventually, looks gorgeous.

23 Feb 2020 - All the recent rain has had a galvanising effect on this plant - new growth and shooting leaves, I'm pleased to observe.

5 March 2020 - She's reached the top of the lattice now.

22 April, 2020 -  I am watering her quite frequently as I think she likes it, and does not like drying out.
