Chinese coin plant

This seems to like being outside in the damp.

5 July 2020 - It seems we have pups!

Domestic bliss

I love the ordinary routines of daily life at home.

Leaves fall from book-tree (bauhinia) - pics May to Aug 2020

I believe these are partly deciduous.

Leaves on the ground in the colder weather.

Book tree leaves about to fall.

5 July, 2020 - Many leaves have fallen and been raked up for mulch. I notice there are still flowers though - how weird!

15 August 2020 - 

She still looks a bit 'threadbare', although she is blooming well enough, and there are buds on the branches, looking like new leaves. My hope is that she will be bigger, taller, wider and more lush this Summer season.

19-20 Sept 2020 - Isn't she beautiful?

Crepe myrtle fading for the winter

29 May 2020 - Further fading, although the bright orange on the leaves is quite pretty. These photos do not actually show the depth of colour variation.

28 July 2020 - in the last few winter months, I have hung the orbs on the bare branches, just for an appealing aesthetic sense.

Moved the lemon

I moved this a long time ago, and it has struggled to survive. Lately we had a grasshopper plague, which ate many of the leaves, and this tree has suffered badly.

I took the time to feed and water it, and there are signs of improvement.

I have bananas!
