In the Garden

A few flowers in bloom in the garden so far this winter along with the fungi underneath the Magnolia tree here at home.


Camellia, 'Margaret Davis'



The fungi were in a difficult place, so they are not that clear.




Maiden Hair Fern grown outside.  Camellia below.

    1. Oh do you now :) I'm interesting to see yours when it comes into flower later for you to see if it's like mine, as to how much dark pink there is in it as it varies from one winter to the next down here, depending how cold it is.

    1. There is for sure, especially in the garden as fungi is not always expected.

    1. Yes it is, and always a pleasure to see it just doing that, Andrew, reminds me late spring is not too far away.

  8. Highly commendable.
    Up here - and the storm of storms on Saturday afternoon which knocked out powerlines etc etc. No power for over 12 hours and some houses knocked off foundations. Almost a hole in my roof where my head hit. The thunderclap
    was the loudest I have ever heard.
    I suspect I'll have to get a new TV !!!
    I wish I had a money tree.
    The beach front and the surf are both person free - surf way up and dangerous.
    Thankfully people here are showing common sense.
    Now off to Pub for libations!!!!!
    Might run into Bill Clinton again as I did years ago at Port Douglas - where
    we had a drink and lunch together - Hillary was out looking at Aboriginal markings etc. My God Bill can eat!!! Thankfully no ice cream with his steak and chips etc.
    Yes - Yanks do have ice cream with steaks - YUCK!!!
    Bill tried crocodile - I told him how horrible it was - one bite and Bill agreed - ha ha.
    Cheers
    Colin

    1. Gosh, didn't know about your storms, heard about the snow inland in NSW..
      So you reckon that your TV has had the biscuit, that's not good then.
      Sounds like dreadful weather you have had, let's hope it improves and people don't suffer with no houses, and electricity, we miss it when we don't have it.
      Never had crocodile, can't recall it being on the menu up north even at Port Douglas when we ate there at the Yacht club a few times whilst holidaying there.
