My brother is home

from his FIFO position in Mt Isa.

Amanda Keller to visit Ipswich, Aug 4.

Garden vignette

The weather has been so lovely so far - sunny every day, even though the mornings and evenings are cool.

I can deal with winter like this.

Little vignette of a garden buddha, my pinky azalea, and gardenia. Both of which need feeding.

Christmas cactus - schlumbergera

Lovely tiny thing purchased at Bunnings a few weeks ago - about to flower now!

There are also some cuttings I received from Jeannette in this pot - don't know what colours but I love these plants.

I hope the pink one grows to look as good as this -

Mine seems to be going ok, but probably needs repotting now.

Girls June 2017

Tutti (lower left) and Tiina-Weena (upper right) helping their Mama prune the hibiscus in the front garden, along the fence, on this lovely bright and warm June morning.

Flowering camellia

Purchased only a few weeks ago, and repotted finally!

Now looking like it's flowering. Such a pretty thing. I hope it grows big and tall.

Not a focussed shot (below), but the colour is lovely.

First day of winter 2017, 1 June

Winter's ok when it's sunny like this. 8.30 am.

It's not ideal but I'm trying to work with what I have, and am always looking at decor and gardening sites for ideas. It will improve and work out.

It's already better - this is how it was just two years ago...

The plants I put in have really grown, and the lawn is looking much better in surface quality and colour. I will need to add another covering of topsoil in the Spring, just for good measure.

All I can say, after looking at these photos, is thank God I had the lattice put up!
