I love this arrangement. I change it around once in a while, but generally I’m really happy I opted to replant most of the cactii in pots about 3 years ago.
Have a wonderful weekend my friends.

Aloe Vera Pokers
I planted many aloe veras by the old frangipani last year, I’m reaping the rewards this year as they all flowered and the scene is gorgeous in that area. The pokers themselves are enough I think. Pretty happy!
I wish you a continued peaceful long weekend and a happy new Hijri year.
A tour of my garden
A quick tour of my garden shot this morning – entirely on the iPhone 3Gs so please excuse the quality. I just wanted to primarily show the beautiful Gladiolus Callianthus (the Peacock Orchid) shown at the start of this clip, but I just got carried away and shot other things in my garden.
Hope you enjoy. Oh, and if you do, please let me know by commenting or faving the video and I’ll create more videos for you to enjoy.
Geraniums in the teardrop
It’s overcast today with spurts of rain now and again. The garden is loving it. I’m loving it, and the colours too are loving it!
Have a wonderful Friday my friends.

Shot this morning, this one is due North as opposed to the pano I posted a couple of days ago which was due East. Viewing a different part of the garden obviously.
The Datura is full of flowers
Happy Friday my friends.
We came home from Rome early this morning to be greeted with this lovely thing by our front door:
In a space of week, it woke up and produced all of these lovely flowers. It’s quite unfortunate that my gardener decided arbitrarily to chop the thing while we were away last time. I’m nurturing it back with judicious pruning. Hopefully it’ll be okay in a couple of years.

Bananas!
Datura
The first of the season! I love this plant which I grew from seed a couple of years ago. Although heavily attacked by mealy bugs and fungus this year, it survived after I heavily pruned the worst affected parts. I look forward to more of its gorgeous flowers.
I’ve got some seeds if you want to add this lovely plant to your garden. Please contact me if you want some.
Have a wonderful Friday my friends.
