The flowers do look amazing. Looking forward to growing some when we get there although I'm hopeless with gardening.
Loving it  Cool

When I move out there for retirement first thing I will do will be to hire Tamara as a consultant for my patio flowers, plus I will grow a few herbs and things.

Talking of herbs Can - today I cut 6 bin bags of fresh basil while clearing by the walls for the builder. Pesto production tomorrow  Big Grin 
Self seeds and grows like a weed in my garden while local friends have trouble keeping a plant going in a pot with lots of TLC.

The smell in my garden today has been amazing as bits got trampled underfoot and there was no breeze to dissipate it.

Definitely Monarch caterpillars - the colours/stripes are clear now.

Wondering if I should cull now so a few have plenty of leaves to munch on? Would gladly share the caterpillars but obviously not possible at the moment.

Over the last few days we have had a fly and midge problem, on investigation found the hibiscus were infested with flies  and lava so took drastic action this morning  Cry Cry Cry
