        @glengarry23 I had seeds for Moulin Rouge but heaven only knows what happened to them. :rolleyespink:

        Not much going on here ...

        Plumbagp auriculata 'Royal Cape' ...

        Plumbago 17 Aug.jpg

        Tecoma stans (Ginger Thomas) ...

        Tecoma1 17 Aug.jpg

        (L-R) Musa acuminata 'Dwarf Cavendish', Tecoma, Jatropha integerrima and Plumbagp peeking at the top ...

        Nana, Ginger & Spicey 16 Aug.jpg

        Some things just hide in the greenery ... Thevetia peruviana backed by Melaleuca ...

        Thevetia peru 16 Aug.jpg

        The Melaleuca was bought as a 30cm pot plant and is now about 5 meters tall!

            Old gates, installed c2000 ...

            Old Gates1 19 Aug.jpg

            Now T'other Half has to tie the Bougainvillea across the top in an arch and paint the walls.

                      Thank you Logan. My car is always inside to the left and T'other Half pulls straight in but normally parks on the side of the house. The great thing is not having to get in and out of the car to open/close gates especially in rainy season.

                              I still haven't managed to identity this repeat large flowering Shrub Rose that I bought with the
                              label "Uncle Walter" attached to it. Still, it is a nice rose with a lovely, heavy, sweet scent
