Spring in Melbourne

I met with some friends in the inner city for that great Melbourne habit of brunch. Not something that is done much in Austria and certainly not with the same flair. We met at 12.00, a bit later than normal due to losing an hour this morning with the changeover to daylight saving. It was a beautiful sunny spring day apart from being very windy. Well, you can"t have it all and it is raining back home. Afterwards i had a look in my sister"s street for a blip.There are flowers everywhere but I am sorry to have missed the tulips and the bottle brushes are past their best. The Hibiscus are magnificent but I blipped this Cape Mallow which is closely related to Hibiscus.

Sorry to be behind with commenting and replies (again) as I have limited access to internet at the moment.
EDIT: I should have posted a mono for tomorrow's MonoMonday blip which I am hosting. The theme is ROOTS and the tag #MM141
