Flame tree trying to flower

It dropped a few leaves but by no means was denuded, and today I noticed some flower buds.

26 Nov 2019 - And here she is!

26 Dec 2019 - they didn't amount to much though.

2 Jan 2020 -  a few more flowers appearing. She's a slow one, this tree.

25 Jan 2020 - still very few flowers but I notice signs of regrowth of leaves coming...

26 Jan 2020 - definitely new leaves!

New birds for the house

Brother in the garden

Dubbs affixed a few things for me this morning.

And here he is in  the back garden - 

and this is his laundry on my line! ha ha

Garden today

A bright hot day, when all the trees appeared to be leaping about, with their foliage waving and intermingling.

I'm loving that rich foliage look.

Baby bottlebrush

Obtained this from the free Council allowance. It's so tiny! I have it in the ground though and hope it does well. The cage is to protect it from the movements of the dogs.
