Paving idea

Not sure whether I would prefer paving or rocks - I lean towards rocks as they are easier to place and less mucking about with concrete, but the paving here looks good too. Neat.






Rebel pink hibiscus

Where I work, there are lovely white hibiscus in the gardens, which have grown a lot over the summer.

I noticed one stray pink flower recently. Must be a wild gene! A beautiful colour.





Reinforced retaining wall

Shane Stephenson was right - these are concrete not plastic! This was taken at Bunnings. These are for a small retaining wall at the back of my place when the reno enclosing the space below ensues.



Newest mandevilla

Beautiful palest pinky-white. It seems to be growing ok at the moment. The buds are gorgeous.



I did NOT see this caterpillar (monarch butterfly, I believe) until I edited this photo and enlarged the flower!!

Rainbow

Over that terrible power pole. I suppose that's pretty.


And yes, I have moved the veggie beds to divide up the back lawn. Carport near the road (to come), and then tropical garden shading a small lawn. To be planned!

The below pic taken on a typical Sunday afternoon when we (me and pets) were all out there enjoying the work having been done (mowing) and just chilling in cooler temps at the end of the  day.
