Cooler weather = better flowers

We think the plants were stressed by the long hot dry summer - for they have really enjoyed the cooler nights and warm sunny days. Brisbane is still in drought conditions and has been officially declared a "drought area" now, though why it needed the announcement I don't know.

When I went to Adelaide last week the ground was very dry and parched and all grass seemed brown and dead. But there was a good shower while we were away and we cam home to greener pastures.

The flowers are wonderful - few bugs around still - but the quality of the flowers and stems is great. Perfect.
