    Hi Vicky
    The black Furry is Ellie.
    Her and Dora stay with us sometimes for a spa weekend.
    Dora ended up in the pond trying to eat the fish food.
    They are such fun but it’s nice to give them back.

      @pete your Calliandra is far more advanced than mine which is only just showing buds.

              @strongylodon ,the Calliandra has been outside since the beginning of May, I think it just likes the hot weather we have been getting.

              That Eucomis is unusual.

              We haven't had the high temperatures you have had so it is behind, mine has been out since May too. Pity the flowers are so short lived.
