Finally
My hollyhock is flowering

My hollyhock is flowering




The tree looks like nature has wrapped it in tinsel for Christmas. A single red rose, or two, on a bush that continues defiantly to produce and a very fragile flower surviving in a rambling garden bed.



This tree grew up self sown by the side of the road near my house. It is probably a bit close to the road but we let it grow up anyway. It has developed a problem. Any ideas as to what might be causing it??



My house is on the left hand side of the road, almost opposite this magnificent river red gum. Today it lost a limb.



Well, really the rain came and went and came back again with the next black cloud.
Photo taken from my front verandah. My flowers took a beating too, Audrey. But now I know there’s a pot of gold under the LANTANA.



Taken through the windows. No photo editing!



Beautiful birds but they really damage the trees.



First day of summer today.
