Flowering in January

In the Front Garden the Frangipanis are flowering beautifully........

 

  

 Bush Rainbow
 

 Darwin Yellow

As most of these Frangipanis were leaning over and blocking the pathways, we decided to straighten them to clear the pathway and not have them broken as people walked past. To do this, we had to dig deep around one side of the roots cutting through very thick roots.  We then lifted one side and very carefully filled the hole under the plant on that side with soil.
