This Week

I've  got my ipod on as I write this post, occasionally I have to stop and play the piano along with Jackson Browne, or sing along with Van Morrison and Rod Stewart and other favourites I also play drums!

So bear with me, we may take a while!!

We have been very busy this past week:

The fish are finally back in their home! They are so so happy again!

Flowers are starting to bud up for the cooler weather

This gorgeous little orchid raised it's head and smiled!

This coleus is so gleaming red! Of course you can't see the weeds can you?

I've been doing some sewing - I am making 5 of my gypsy bags for daughters and grand daughters!

See the bag under the pillow? It's FULL of scraps!! I told you I had a lot! ( and there's still more - but i'm not showing!!) 

I'm making a pillow cover  out of these spare parts

the bags are all assembled for the outside, now i do need to buy some metres for the linings - I was going to scrap it all but I just don't have time, I don't think.

How Does the Garden Grow?! Part 2

Hopefully tonight the pictures will load faster!

These bromeliads are growing at the base of a palm,

Here are the same plants, crawling up the palm trunk! If you look closely in the middle top of the picture you can see the leaves of the dancing lady orchid where it is tied to the palm!

 

The blue plumbago is so pretty

 

Another pot of dancing lady orchids in the corner of the garden, blooming away happily!

 

 

Such a beautiful pink coloured flower on the succulent!

 

In the middle of this photo, you can see a mauvey - pinkish flower down near the ground.  It is the "Siam Queen"  Ginger, the flowers are striking!

 

 

Thre coleus leaves are colouring up well now that I have moved it into some shade.
