Gosh I've been away such a long time, have been able to pop in and read in between but been ever so busy. My husband sold his business and we have been trying to wrap things up for about 2 months still lots to do but can see light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak. We have also been doing up the house to place on the holiday market rental on the Island so have had to update the pool and some of the interior of the house ,throw lots of unwanted and unused items away and just generally declutter after 10 years of living here. Such a big, big job.

My plants have been going crazy here, they look so tropical and lush considering we haven't had rain since1st June. We had 2 drops tonight, more rain predicted for next week but we'll see.

Below is my Hedychium Longicornutum which is an Epiphytic Ginger.It has about 8 of these flowers which I have in a hanging basket.
