Welcome Seachanger!

Your water lily is lovely! Perfume and long display to add. I am wishing for a water garden to grow 'Barbara Dobbins'! Alas, space here in our garden does not allow for that luxury, so I must be content with you pix here!

The Brug you are growing is probably what most "Brug Folks" here in Oz refer to as "Old Apricot". This plant grows in gardens from the Cape (FNQ) down to the Bay VIC) to differing degrees of success. Please post a pix when you can of the bloom. It would be good to see what you have growing there. The delight here is that you have a Brug growing!:)

No doubt you will be able to show us more treasures from your new garden. Your experience will be well valued here!

Here we are at worst in Sydney... :(
