After a long wait, the buds that featured on 23 April are finally starting to open.
Thankyou Susan for this beautiful plant! I wish I knew what it is called.

Ever seen these blobs of foam and thought it was a frog's nest?  Well - they are actually the nests of Spittle Bugs and if you remove some of the foam, you will find the bug inside.  (as children we used to think it was 'snakespit'... ha ha)
