What’s Happening

I meant to poat this last weekend in mothers day!! Whoops. Chryssies going gangbusters again. . . . . . . . #chrysanthemum #perennials #bloomingmarvellous #pottedflowers
Hibiscus heterophyllus. Found from north east Queensland right down to NSW. The cokour varies, it also has a yellow form and I've seen a dark pink cultivar. This one came from my local native nursery so will have been grown from seed of local plants
Ok peeps. This is my one and only jackfruit!! We like them savory/unripe so I probably need to harvest it soon but harvesting it means I have to process it somehow and I've heard it's a sticky mess. Plus then how best to freeze?? Any ideas?? Help!!!
Camellia 'Early Pearly'. Not many photos lately coz I'm so busy with everyone else's gardens, but mine is still here and going strong! Just less time for photos. But lots of things are picking up now the heat is gone, so hopefully a few more snaps
