Not so much a day makes but a week makes….
Sometimes I have to park on the other side of the pool/gym car park so I’m able to see different plantings to those I mentioned in February.
It has various ‘could be Australian natives but they’re not’…like the PomPom Tree (Dais Cotinifolia – South Africa) that does well in our climate.
I parked by this one a couple of weeks ago and thought how ‘ripe and plump’ the flower buds were…..won’t be long before they pop open
(Photos will enlarge with a tap/click or using two finger spread)

Fast forward 7days to the next Tuesday and after a week of warm, wet and humid days this is how these same buds looked. Not buds but blooms! Lots of them!
The wonder of nature – gotta do what you’ve gotta do!

It’s a bit of a scraggly tree – this one has obviously been cut back to the fence (they can have quite a spread) but it looks like a few stray little lower branches had their way and were determined to put on a show

Had to park elsewhere this Tuesday just gone (in another section nowhere near there) so missed out on an update shot. Hopefully I’ll be lucky next week.



That’s so pretty

It’s a pretty flower and the tree if well shaped would look great.

it’s been like a tropical hot house lately. No wonder they’re powering along. Unfortunately so are the weeds

What a beautiful plant. It’s so nice to see the green and flowering plant/tree.
