The Dame is working on her first #rose of the season. Two pics of the bud (less than 1 cm long at present), and one of the whole Dame Elisabeth Murdoch hybrid tea standard rose.

In other news, our #Clianthus is flowering for the first time! We've had it almost a year now and at one point it had lost almost all of its leaves and looked set to die. It's had a had time of it, but seems to be fighting back.
