Hi Vicky,..the Baffa Room looks neat now ,..plus the nice furniture colour,..of course Munch doing the testing,..amazing how he moved in so quick,..wise cat .

Awesome blooms and such colour

 

Thank you Philip.

Jim painted the ballustrades for pots grey to blend in with the new brick tiles and put down marble chippings ...

Both Munch and Van love that grass and dine on it daily ...

I love sitting out front looking at the Plumbago and Hibiscus with the sun glowing through the Iochroma leaves ...

 

It's all looking very nice @Victoria, I love the view you've got of those plants when sitting out the front

 

The Ballustrades look great,..a nice contrast,..Munch and Van must know what they are doing ,..i can imagine you sitting watching the sun coming through,..what a life

 

Thanks Philip. The grass is one of the Sedges I believe that I bought in B&Q about 20 years ago. Of four I bought, it is the only one that survived except for a few threads of a red one that you can just see coming out to the right of the Eucalyptus border pole.

 

The Dining Patio is back in order now.

Through the arch is the car park to the right and path to The Courtyard to the left ...


The French Doors to The Baffa ...




The shed door and the entrance to The Jungle Room to the left under the Brugmansia with Hibiscus below ...

 

The Nandina 'Fire Power' is starting to turn red. I wasn't sure it would in our heat ...


And a couple of the Hibiscus 'Red Pagoda' opened this morning ...

... up close ...

... and one hiding in the leaves ...

I think they are so incredibly intricate.

 

Moved my "nursery" of Adenium obesum (3 plants, 10 seedlings) to the right and thee Plumeria to the left as they would not be able to withstand the heavy rain we are expecting.

 

Much better to be safe than sorry

 

Jim tiled the gatepost to The Courtyard which I think is superb ...


Night lights in The Baffa ...


This morning cleaning for visitors tomorrow. Looking out the North facing windows ...



... and to the East and the Dining Area, shed door to right, Jungle Room to left ...


Munchkin drowsy from her medicine ... and the dusting has not been done yet ...

 

Looking FAB..U..LOUS. Vicky and J. You've worked hard and you now have your much deserved reward..stunning.
