The bromeliads are all looking a bit washed out and waterlogged, but the tree fern seems to put out a new shoot every day! Funny that in the vegetable garden the eggplant has suddenly taken off, and doing really well. The hibiscus are flowering, but their delicate petals cant stay open with the weight of the rain, I think some sunshine will make everyone happy! Me included!<br />Bernie, oh you would have to be watching that all your good soil doesnt go down the side of the hill as well! I am hanging in there for that costus to start flowering any day now. <br />Luckily our washing line is under the eaves, so it does eventually dry.africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-61343460248480170622010-04-06T19:05:53.655+10:002010-04-06T19:05:53.655+10:00Still raining down here as well ... we might get a...Still raining down here as well ... we might get an hour or two between showers but it's still mostly overcast, dreary days all in a row.<br /><br />Luckily, on my property, the water just drains away ... as it's on the side of a hill ... so the ground is not as mushy as yours.<br /><br />The ground orchids would absolutely love all the rain ... and your anthurium is doing so well. <br /><br />My costus is out in my greenhouse garden and is shaded pretty much all day ... so I would just wait a little longer to see if yours will bloom.<br /><br />Hope the washing dried!BernieHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04435004798656616711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-85277668212138248842010-04-06T09:53:03.969+10:002010-04-06T09:53:03.969+10:00Yeah, I've read all about all your great holid...Yeah, I've read all about all your great holidays but thats okay, I have to work during holidays anyways.
