FLOWER STOPS

Ish is now 7 months old and just loves to be out, out ... OUT! So putting the day 'On Hold' for an hour in the early evening is very pleasant when one can wait in the Botanic Gardens where it is full of people going home after a glorious, sunny day. Wee Ish just couldn't keep her eyes open after a day at Nursery and so missed the Herb Garden's offerings.

This mauve star-shaped flowering plant in the Herb Garden is a flower often used to garnish gourmet dishes in expensive restaurants. Lovely colour - don't know the species! (In our household, it is classified in the "Get a Life" category!)

A regular stop is to pause on the hill to our house and pay a visit to Adam-Next-Door's garden. This lovely Lavateria is a joy to the eye every time we emerge from our porch door.
