    I noticed the Cistus plant had its first flower today, so I decided it's time for some photos. This is the only part of the garden that is developed at the moment, so I decided to take photos of it. The first photo is the new growth on Tibouchina urvilleana..

                Thanks everyone :-) This was actually taken with an older camera (I have cameras just lying around you see, but the balance isn't as good on that camera, but it was at hand, as they say the best camera is the one next to you.

                The garden will become much more colourful hopefully in the next few weeks!
