			<description>Plumeria Darwin Yellow.







That Plumeria J.L. Pink Pansy Again..







I bought this one last November

Found it on the *Take me home I need some TLC* table at Bunnings for &#36;3

Its finally flowered and well worth that small price. What a bargain.

Though this J.L.Pink Pansy is not the right colour 

Its not suppose to be plain white it should have a dark pink edge..

			<description>Faye had to be away for 4 hours  at meetings on friday . This is an example of how thoughtful she is.

. She downloaded quite a swag of pics knowing that I would be kept interested for hours in adding names ,descritpions and tags to them all then placing them into their relevent folders ready to use.It worked I was still hard at it when she returned from her meetings.

			<description>This is , or should I say was a lovely rainforest tree [don't know its name]which decided to die, maybe it got crowded out by a stronger species , who knows , but the thing I find very interesting is as it died it oozed resin .The resin is hard  set now and has interesting shapes ,it also shines in the streams of sunlight which get through from the canopy above.

Oncidium *Dancing Lady Orchids* are starting to open.

			<description>Summer snapdragon 



Angelonia serena &quot; angel mist White &quot;























When Faye brought this plant home last wednesday 4 pieces about 3 inches got bent over , the pieces all had flowers on  then, I got Faye to put the bits in water and would you believe when I checked today found they all have small roots starting.That shows how easy they are to propogate.

Now I have 3 colours , the other two  are Lavender and Purple. </description>

Michelia figo  aka Port Wine Magnolia.

			<description>Taken at Roma Street, its hanging down on the walls leading up to the garden entrance its some kind of climber and the flowers were rather big  the size of a saucer or maybe a bread and butter plate. I don't think it had much of a perfume otherwise I would have noticed... 



The older flowers being a darker colour 







Than the newly opened ones.
