Midday

A peep into the garden.

The tall tree with the spiky leaves is a Cordyline, or Cabbage tree; toward the back is a grand old English Oak; while a Camellia is carrying the dark pink blooms.

Next to her is a hibiscus with pale pink blooms, while at almost ground level the Clivias are in bloom.

Agapanthus are carrying new shoots with soon to be emerging purple posies, while the Philidendron Selloum and it's fingerlike leaves, appear to the extreme right.

All we now need is good rain!
