    ooooh, Sis, you have so much colour, much more than me ... don't like you much ... [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] xxxxxxx

    My Hydrangea is "drying" now and the Castor Oil plants here are just coming into their glory as it's the winter for them here.

    Thanks Sis. You'll be able to get some great shots of the Castor Oil Plants to post soon. As to colour, this is about it.

    Evening, Sis, these are all beautiful. I am in a hit and miss situation with things because the rain hasn't come. In saying so, we MAY have it tomrorow ... crossed fingers and toes for the land and t'other half has cut off the irrigation in anticipation. :eek:

    I love roses, Sis, as you know, and yours are still beautiful ... I bet they live longer than one day like mine. [​IMG] Spooky rose is, well, spooky ... :D [​IMG]

    Are you having the frosts yet like the UK?

    Yes, they do last much longer, but these are now the very last ones this year.

    We have had frost several times, but it has warmed up a couple of degrees the past few days.

    Love your Helleborus, Sis, and how strange with the Hollyhock! Think the Helle is a 'no goer' for here and I've had no luck the Hollys in the past but do have some wild seeds from Spain? May fling them and some of the wild Lupins from here at the top of the lane so they can settle in now that it's rain season. [​IMG]
