Lots of bubbles after Evelynne's Naming Ceremony.
About to cut the cake......and make a wish or two.

Not a chance - not when the seeds cling to everything in sight, like gardening gloves, shoes, socks and other clothing.
The handyman has been at work and made this snazzy screen to partially separate the courtyard from the garden. It's all concreted into the ground, and it's very heavy......just in case you thought it would look good in your garden.......lol.
I think two potted bamboo plants would look rather good on this side of the screen.
It's hard to get a pure white geranium, so I'm very happy with these. I must propagate some more.
Some colour on the balustrade.
I'm not sure of its name but the silver grey leaves are always attractive, and the pretty pink flowers make it a real winner. Easily propagated too.
One of the lavenders that escaped the purge a couple of months ago.
I love coriander in my food, but I think I like it even better when in flower as it is here. The leaves and flowers are so fine and lacy.
'Curry' plant. Has anyone actually used it in cooking?
The icebergs are just browning off, not melting.
Callistemon.
Even convolvulus deserves to be photographed now and again.
The almost black leafed Aeonium zwartkopf makes a striking contrast to the various greens. Another plant which is easy to propagate.
Iceberg roses are budding prolifically and should produce a wonderful display.
Another Cotinus (Smoke Bush). Perhaps Jane will like this one better?...lol.
Anyone need some Alyssum or African Daisy seedlings? The result of piling plants in a heap waiting to be mulched.
Japanese Maple, Silver Birch, Calendula and Californian Poppies.
Poppies in the shade of a Sycamore Maple.
Claret Ash, yellow Broom, African Daisies.
African Daisies.
Overgrown Silverbeet vying for space with the Alyssum.
Lavender, Centranthus and Bronze Fennel.
Centranthus, daisies and Ceanothus.
Gazanias.
Silver Curry Plant. The leaves actually taste like curry and can be used in cooking.
Ceanothus.
Crab Apple.
Only a few months ago this daisy was a cluster of thick, stumpy branches without a leaf on them.
