"LOOK WHAT IS FLOWERING IN MY GARDEN". from this ......







This is my lovely tree dahlia. It is very fragile looking, usually it gets bashed to bits by the winds. It has just come into flowering this week, It is a lovely lialic colour. The flowers don't last long unfortunatly. They grow quite tall quite quickly from about october to may, that is when they flower. We don't get frosts where we live here in the bush otherwise 'Jack frost ' would get them. Even 'mr bumblebee' flew into the picture right on cue! to this...

  4. I don't really have 'a green thumb' , i just chop the trunks up ,leave them laying under a shady spot till they grow shoots then throw them in the bush! up they sprout and you have a lovely burst of colour about may if you don't get frosts .we don't.
