A few of the wonderful summer flowers, that help me keep my sanity in this hot humid weather..
fragipani
ivory curl, or
buckinghamia
there were three
koookaburras came and swam in the pool pretty early one morning
a nasty looking spider took up residence outside downstairs
the
strelitzia is also flowering
I think this might have been a case moth trying to hatch himself...maybe that is why the kookaburras, and also a wonderful Whip bird were around this week.
had a few trees tidied up around the yard
the zygocactus was looking pretty the other morning early
never know whether to call this a cassia or an indian laburnum
and this dancing lady has turned white...I thought they were supposed to be yellow...
a view of the city on my drive out to the university the other day
hard to believe that these garages had water almost up to the first floor there during the flood
and these shops just down the road from the uni were also under water...the students who live around there will surely miss having the shops open at the moment now they are all trekking back to classes for the beginning of the academic year after the long summer break
approaching the university on our drive
oops...looks like I put these in twice...what a bother...if I delete one, blogger will delete both copies, so I won't...sorry...
the river was looking particularly muddy
here is hoping they can get the ferry pontoons rebuilt for the students who travel by ferry.

I've heard that Australia has some wicked spiders, and that example is pretty scary, LOL!
Your zygocactus....it looks like what we would call over here a Christmas Cactus. I have one that was given to me in a Living Basket after Daddy's funeral. I am having such a hard time keeping it alive. Pieces keep falling off and I am telling myself it is just transitioning. But I really don't have a green thumb. Oh well. We shall see what happens.
Blessings to you Annie.
