    Nice. I was just thinking about how that would smell, Dove. I've got a V davidii that is just lovely when you walk past it, so yours might be similar.

    time for sleep for me, so catch you all later.image

    I love Katharine Hodgkin in a pot. She needs to be up off the ground and in the limelight all by herself image

    We've been out the back on our bush block this morning, so some photos of what's worth photographing now.

    Hyacinth Orchid - Dipodium  punctatum

    Black Cypress-Pine - Callitris endlicheri. We don't have many native conifers, so I was glad to find this one happily growing amongst the Eucs.

    Pat - lovely pics of trees. Hyacinth orchid is beautiful.

    Hope the ground got some much needed rain.

    Yes Joyce, it was very heavy, nearly hail I think, and we got 4.5mm so I'm always glad to get any at all.
