One of our umbrella trees has a big blossom on it.

Give it a few days and we'll have hundreds of screeeeeching parrots after the seeds.

They considered a weed by our local council, but we didn't plant them. They're far enough away from the house not to cause problems.

If you look at the link, our flower is like the one on the right.

naaah, gone off that, had too much of it at Christmas.

It's annoying having that great big dish in the middle of the kitchen for a week.

And I suppose that the tyre marks on the carcass didn't help! :-D :-D

got them off when we washed it with the pressure cleaner; it also removed the moving rice.

btw....... the deer head is up on the wall
