The kindness of bloggers...

Back before Christmas I posted about my love for frangipani. In response to one comment, I confessed that I had always wanted a pink frangipani too. Long story short, after several e-mails, I received a cutting in the mail. This is what it looked like when I first planted it.You will see that it has a few shoots at the top.

And this is what it looks like a few weeks later! Leaves!!!

How good is that! Thank you so much Amanda!

Advent blog-a-long - Day 6 - Tuesday Treasures

Another Queensland summer favourite for my treasure today. I am lucky enough to have this lovely tree in my garden and look forward to the first blooms. They have the most wonderful fragrance and also remind me of my mother. These were one of her favourite flowers.

As we usually had a frangipani tree where we lived, or at least nearby, Mum always used the flowers for decoration, particularly at Christmas. I can remember threading them into garlands to put on the table for Christmas dinner.
