On Our Walks
A while back there was a lovely thread of sunrises that the early risers among us posted. I loved it, so I thought I'd broaden it to a thread for all the lovely sights we see as we do our slow stagger...

Thank you SO much for all that info, @"Annie C" !! I didn't know it's name! I will put it on a sticker on the plant!
It IS gorgeous, isn't it?? (I assume Cam knows it - he is the one in the middle of the Daffodils photo!) He's only gotten into plants (orchids in particular) about 10 years ago!! He has also grown Hoop Pines from seed - whatever seeds he can find in the wild, he'll have a go at propagating!! ;)
Hmmm .... Not 'quite' the same colour - but pretty close!!! He cross pollinated the 'Fruit Salad' one with another one & then grew the seeds up - and THIS was the result of ONE of the seeds! None of the other seeds were this colour. We've been given permanent load of it - it is to revert to the family eventually, as it is the only one in existence!! It is just sprouting shoots again now. He gave this one to me at the same time as the Orchid - as Congratulations after all the BC surgery & results.
He's called it "Child of Nambour'' (a town in Qld where we spent our first few years - we had heaps of Frangipanis there!)
