Pink SIRIS or Silk Tree

AS we head into depth of Summer, we are starting to see
some of the more exotic plants florish
ONE in particular is the mimosa like ALBEZIA julibrissin..with its
pink cotton top florets...I refer to it as SILK TREE.
Whilst others have their mauve blue JACARANDA or the
pink panicle of the CAPE CHESNUT tree...I celebrate each dusk with the silk tree closing down its leaflets like the mimosa plant..and each morning awaking to a pink flourish as sunlight catches the flower stamens of the Albezia
these are my 3 favourite summer flowering trees

Delicious Cherries(y)

At Last.....I get to eat my first cherry from my new tree
This is the one that had a close pruning from my young
nephews last year
Still the taste was marvellicious ....now where can I get a
chocolate mousse tree to go with it

COWBOY"

JK was the conductor and kept the tempo revving..you could see him tweaking all the time

Loreena McKennitt is a Soul Mistress

Several years ago LMcK came to OZ
I was so fortunate to attend this event that has stirred in my soul for evermore.
It wasthe most melodic and bounteous experience I had ever had musically.
I was captivated by her lillting lyric and by the structure of her performed music.
It was a percussive honeycomb cast like a webbed toffee over all of us but me particularly

My favorite words are LMcK "Dante's Prayer"

Cactus Flower

It is hard to believe that this spiny succulent can appear so restrained all year and then produce such a magnificent crimson red flower clustered with many long stamen ..and then within 24 hrs loose this beauteous floral fruit and return to its somewhat restrained quiessence

Craggles..thanks Dad (dec) for this wonderful plant

'Cool' by Gwen Stefani

Nasturtiums..COLORFUL AND HOT

I ate these with my salad...they are hot , peppery little critters
And dont ya love the little fingerlettes that entice all bugs to the
stamen...I think this is a Orange Gleam TROPAEOLUM

Hippy hippy Hippeastrum....aaaaah(sighs)

I have been hanging out waiting for my hippeastrum lillies to deliver their blooms.
Ever since my grandfather gave me a bare bulb of one at Xmas one year, I have delighted in their
beauty.
Half buried bulbs develope in late spring and what follows is truly wondrous

Daisy in all types..single, chains,dogs, nicknames

To everything turn, turn ,turn...

To everything TURN TURN TURN
there is a season TURN TURN TURN
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to be born, A time to die
A time to plant , A time to reap

......
Atime for peace I swear it's not too late

Arise and be refreshed after the pre dawn refreshing rain...the smell of clean, crisp air invigorates your dulled waking spirit...you are renewed

Ladybird (bug) is Aposematic..yeah..getout!

Under a myriad of sap sucking aphids and a profusion of new plant growth...a true predator arrived. She would be well rewarded for her arrival as the new spring has ushered in a flush of new growth not seen for many seasons.
Dont you just love bugs....it reinforces your faith in the web of life and its marvellous adaptability...and I'm only a casual voyuer...but I liiiiike it!

Fruit from Flower

About 4 weeks ago I told you I'd keep you updated on the fruit from my Prunus Plum Tree.
Well today I was finally able to show you the developing fruit.
I suspect that the birds and I will be in competition for the tasty morsels which are probably another 4 weeks away from my taste preference.
