Hello everyone. Its a lovely morning here. A bit of cloud but warm and mild.
I am off again to look at more cars today . There are not many places around here so I may still have to go over to SA and see what Mt Gambier has to offer.

Nev, interesting pics with the broms & containers. I love the one on the wood.
Those pics of the huge brom operations are certainly mind boggling.
Imagine how many workers are employed.
It is marvellous how they get all the plants flowering at once and at a small size too.
One only wonders at the fate of most of them later. Probably destined to be tossed once finished blooming.
Sad really, but then thats business.

My broms are all enjoying the mild weather and looking so pretty.
I finally took some new pics .

My brugmansias are all full of buds , so that will my focus for a few weeks as I want to get pics of a couple of crosses that have not flowered before.
I have some registered and may be lucky to get another good enough.

Trish, I hope you are having some rest as its no fun to be flat out busy all the time.
Hard to combine having to work and then finding time to enjoy the garden.
Hope your mum is well and loving the pups from her broms.

Brian, tell your wife you are beautifying the yard....lol
She will love the color of all broms in a shadehouse.

Hello to everyone.
I must move or nothing will get done.

pic 1...a newer pic of aech Hawaiian pectinata. It is getting quite wide now and the markings look better with a hint of red.

pic 2...neo Black Brazil. Another I bought with me to see what it turns out like as it matures.
Not a lot of color and it has two pups
i was hoping for a really dark brom. Maybe next season , as its been in a bit of shade.

pic 3...neo Fosperior Pefection. This brom has grown into a lovely plant with nice colors.

pic 4...aech Zebra, similar to La Tigra.

pic 4... group pic of the broms . You can see the sun stating to come under the veranda in the afternoon. It will be full on the broms as it moves and they seem to enjoy it.

Jean.
