You might remember that my Naked Lady flowers were finished off by some rain a few weeks ago.  I noticed earlier this week that I had a lot of seed heads.  Yesterday,  about 6  of those heads ripened.  Wow! 

Do you see that ant moving in for lunch as well.  Sorry buddy, they’re mine.  Usually I just stick them into the ground, but this time I think I will start them off in pots for the first year or two.  The seeds will eventually form bulbs.  It takes 5 or 6 seasons for them to flower, they do however send up leaves from the first season.

Flowering in my garden at the moment is Tibouchina Jules.

This is a small shrub.  It appreciates being pruned back hard.  I last pruned it a few years ago to ground level, and it’s never looked back!  We would like a tibouchina tree in our yard.  Perhaps Alstonville?  They are so pretty and vibrant when they are in full bloom.
