      It is a nice one @Jenny namaste - are you going to try to keep cuttings over winter?

          The new Lonicera is growing and flowering well and blends nicely with the roses below it.

            I've not been able to get round the garden for a few days but hobbled onto the patio for a few shots yesterday. :) I hope to be able to get my shoe on today (subject to the boss's permission :heehee:) so should be able to get around OK.

                  Thanks but it's more a nuisance than anything else. Got bitten between my big toe and the one next to it by something that somehow got inside my shoe. Both toes swelled up and then a giant blister between them :mad:. It's easing up now. :blue thumb:

                  I've travelled all over the world for 60+ years to jungles, rain forests, deserts etc. and never had trouble! It's only in this country that I have problems :doh:

                      I understand what you mean @shiney because I have to be careful myself, I get nasty bites from horse flies. They swell up the size of an egg and turn dark red, and they take about a week to heal.
                      Take care :)

                              They are just beautiful Philip.

                              The best I can do at the moment is show Van keeping cool in the heat under the shade of the Melaleuca and Banana in a pot ...

                              On the left is Thevetia peruviana and a Pelargonium in a pot.
