    We're nearly a week into the month and no one has posted yet so I'll start us off. :)

    My Nerium Oleaders are looking good (both are about 4-5 meters tall now) and the heady scent from the double blooms is wonderful ...

    .... they positively glow in the sun ...

    And these Amaryllis (Belladonna Lily) seem to appear overnight ....

    Not mine, but the Opuntia ficus-indica (giant Prickly Pear) are all coming into bloom here now and are just breathtaking ...

    Great pics, my Oleanders are not flowering very well unlike yours Vicky, although that is not suprising as we missed out on summer down here.:(

    My Fasicularia is a little more advanced than yours YYD but no actual flowers appearing yet. Yours should have a lot more colour to come, it is a spectacular Bromeliad.:gnthb:

    I love my Bougainvilleas, but this one is giving off a real show at the moment .... my tri-coloured hybrid standard ....

    I didn't do this one but I'm going to do a tri-coloured braided one in the next week about 1 -1.5 meters tall.

    My Fasicularia Bicolor, not in flower yet but nearly there.
    [​IMG]

    One of two Frangipani rooted branches I bought in Madeira, They were grown in cut down water bottles but now potted up, the one with a flower bud has opened up.
    They are staying in the utlity room and not outside.
