A Very Quick Update

 Sorry I haven't been around much, the old crochet hook has been flying and nothing else sort of happens!!

A few lttle pics of the garden today - I thought you may like to see:-


In the hut, the Hoya Carnosa has 10 bunches of flowers already, these are the closest to opening.


Hoya Hawaiian has 3 large bunches hanging under the roof. This is the largest.


Here are the other 2, hiding between the rafters.




The Lilliums are flowering well


They look so nice amongst all the other plants here.



A closer photograph.



I do love the colour of this bouganvillea!


The Lemon tree is doping well. My poor little monk needs a sunhat!


The double flowering frangipani has some flower buds 


The red frangipani has buds and leaves, you have to bend your nuck to look up to the top branches now!


Oh Horror of Horrors, our water pump for the fountain has turned up its toes, and we have yet to buy a new one.  Luckily the goldfish are only carp after all, so they can live without aeration for a while!!

That's the interesting bits in the garden for now, I will show you the crochet work when I take some photographs tomorrow!

Take Care

the Triffids Have Returned!!!

Run for the hills! They're ba-aack!!!

For those in the know, the black bat plants are flowering again, so I thought you might like to see - there is only one flower so far, but there are many more buds waiting:-


Notice how he is hiding his face, so we won't recognize him??

Also, along the same lines, another Hoya has decided that the roof is the ideal spot to flower from:-


This Hoya Carnosa, even though it is normally a prolific flowerer, decided that if the Royal Hawaiian could do it, then so could she!

Not quite as pretty as the other, but at least  she has more flowers!

Be back with my Week 9 picture shortly
