The buds in this photo are smaller than a match head and the flowers are really tiny.
The plant grows in the hostel garden - I noticed the little clusters in passing on my way to work.
I was quite surprised to see the abundance of stamens when I zoomed in to take this shot.
Strange that some of the flowers have 5 petals and others 4 - also that the stamens are so different?
Perhaps they are male and female flowers? Watch this space. I am going to visit it again tomorrow....
Good news it that we had 5mm of rain today! Not much, but it has settled the dust.
We remain hopeful for more.
