I pinched a snip of this from Bernie and Jeanette's (across-the-road neighbours) a few weeks ago when they were on holiday. It looked so cute blossoming under the blood orange tree. The pink flower is a gorgeous tinge. I put it near the front gate, and it seems to be doing ok in the semi-shade there.
These photos really do not show it's true beauty. I will try photoing it again on the weekend. The pink of the flower is really much more intense than this. I wish I knew the name of this plant.
I noticed the flame tree had a leaf high towards the top which was rotting and almost dropping off. I believe it is getting towards the time when the leaves begin to fall off, and the flowers come out (Aug to Dec).
Well, the rose has really begun to take off on this archway and I am so pleased with the progress. Whilst I was tying up grown ends yesterday afternoon, I noticed that lo! there were new blossoms - the first for this rose and this arch!
So lovely!
