I laugh at the rain!

This tibouchina is a rare sight in Blackheath as it doesn't like the frost. This flower seemed to be totally unaware that it shouldn't be happy here but from the advanced (and healthy) shrub, it thumbs it's nose to the cold each year.

In fact, it looks positively smug.

Here's large.

Here's another take on the tibouchina, at an entirely different stage.
