found

back soon, I promise, but for now I am being a lazy cow and forgetting about blogging and pretty much anything else that requires stringing words together coherently! instead, I've been to the races (sold many a sandwhich) and right now, catching up on editing school photos, which were done in MARCH. Yes I know. Slack is something I would win gold in if it were an Olympic Sport.

And look what else I found! taken of course before the frosts of the decade hit my garden, hopefully with a bit of water it will be looking like this again soon. I don't have room for a jacaranda tree in my yard, but this would have to be nearly as good!

IMG_2643The plant is a variegated purple Baleria, which strikes easily, so I am told (my MIL struck each and every one of the 13 bushes I planted). I think I put them in two years ago, and they haven't looked back, and have far exceeded my wishes for a hedge along the inside of my front fence!

Back soon I promise, school photos to finish.....

  1. Looks very similar to the plumbago I have in the front yard - and sounds as though it takes just as easily and grows like a weed!

  4. Heard mention of the races on the radio on the weekend ... suspected you'd be knee-deep in it!
    Unfortunately the pace of life at the moment is keeping me away from blog-land, must get myself back in the groove.
    I don't think slackness or laziness have anything to do with not blogging, in fact quite the opposite!
