Agapanthus!

Here she is - the new buds on the block!

Isn't she lovely!

And here she is..with her friends to follow!

How beautiful!

New metal art

I decided to finally put it all up this morning - even though the house isn't painted, even though there is so much pattern and line-work going on. Who cares - I like it all out there. At least...eventually, it will look much better when the walls are more 'solid' behind them.

Going to Bunnings to get some tiny saddle clips to affix them tight - so no bastard steals them during the night.

Desparately need a creeper on that front section too (left of pic), under the round art. Ficus will do it, I reckon. It will help hold the wood together!

At home on the range today

A restful Saturday, no rushing, just moving at own pace.

Dorothea and Henrietta like to hide out here in the little bit of shade, in the heat of the day. I badly need more high trees, for an 'upper storey' of shade for all of us!

Star jasmine has finally come out! neighbourhood#1

Photos taken this morning about 5.45 am. I am so pleased this plant has finally taken off - there was a long while when it was doing nothing and I thought it might not make it.

It's not a lot of flower, but it's enough to give me hope of a future thick mass, a la this:

Here's the same place (around the corner, on my neighbourhood walk) - in flower, Oct 23, 2015.

Lindy's frangi #1

Lindy brought me in a frangipani cutting to work (DETE Coorparoo). Its one of the traditional colours - yellow and white. I'm thrilled and excited, and will plant it in the front garden. Excellent! Thank you Lindy!

And here it is in the front garden, 10 March 2017 - 

Garden arch No. 1

John came around last Sunday morning to help get this garden arch together. We didn't manage to finish it as John did not bring his drill for the screwing-in pieces. I was a bit disappointed but oh well. Have lent it up against the back fence for now, till he comes back to complete it. This is not its final home.
