Despite the horrid conditions I am living under at the moment, life goes on.
A lack of water for my garden which is slowly dying plant by plant, there is a bright spot among all of this dryness.
The Frangipanni trees are struggling, not their usual wonderful self but are getting their selves together to put on a show of colour. Here is the progress of one tree.
The start of hope
Gradually getting to welcome the suns rays
The first flower opens
The flowers and buds of the future
Todays blooms
I should link this to Cee’s FOTD page
Perhaps call it Floral Friday too
Those look lovely! Hope some respite is around the corner…. 🌧 💦

How absolutely lovely.
I think about the fires a lot; it’s so difficult for me in a wet and cold Yorkshire to comprehend What you must be going through.

Hooray for the frangipani! We have the cream coloured ones here and occasionally I come across a pink. I’d rather like to have one but we only have a small space. Good to hold on to hope, Brian. 🙂 🙂

Thanks Becky. Have been evacuated as fire is very close. Probably fire in the bottom of my property. The wind is blowing the fire away from the house. I am safe x

No unfortunately Su 😦 Around 95% of my place is burnt, some areas worse than others. I listen to trees crashing down through the night and day. I do my best to stay strong ❤

I love the scent of frangipani. I do hope this tree’s struggle against the odds is a positive sign of better things to come.
