While hunkered down I thought I would cheer myself up by looking at some of last Octobers pictures of Palheiro (formally the Blandy gardens)

I am afraid they are in no particular order

I think I prefer the normal orange form of Tecoma capensis, how about other folk?

My copy of Tibouchina grandifolia flowered this year, but unlike urvilleana when I bring it in it slows down and stops, so the flowering period is sadly shorter

The Euryops flowers all winter here unless we get hard frost

Good to have a little colour on yet another stormy day.

Fantastic images!
That Banksia looks huge (in Banksia terms), and some of those Salvia look rather good too.
