Colleen, we just had the other5 drops as the squall flew past way over from us. I hate it when I can stand here on the hill and watch the rain elsewhere.
Very humid here .
I just had to show my gorgeous tuberous begonia. I started with 8 bought about 6 years ago, but they have gradually died from the heat here. I put these last 3 in a basket down in the fern house and they are thriving. This one is more yellow than the photo shows but the light is dull at the moment. The red one will soon be out and I'm not sure what the other is now. They are rare because they are perfumed. Mmmmmmm... I bought them from a man who has since died. so can get no more. . I may try and take cuttings next year from the new growth.
