Fruit Salad:
Plumeria rubra var acutifolia: Common East Coast White

Darwin yellow is a pretty shade of yellow... but the others are all pretty too... frangis are one of my favourite plants.
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to use it in a fruit salad.
A ounce of common sense is worth more than a ton of intelligence.

Thanks Ota... They looked so good in the late afternoon with no strong sun on them the colours are more vibrant in the shadows.
Thanks Pamela..
It is nice Gail and for once the sun is not bleaching the colour out of them I guess the rain is helping also, we had another storm around 7pm bad noises no lost of power this time, and a bonus of 4.5mm of rain..

Lucky you, we aren't due for any storms until the weekend, they are all south of us.

We were on the tail end Thank Goodness but I reckon the Northern suburbs and all the dams would have got heaps again. Good to see that the dams have got 45.58 % in them

My basic weeding rule: if they grow in rows they're flowers;
if they don't they're weeds.

sounds a better idea, fit bigger cuttings in the car that way

The yellow one is my pick. I have never seen a pure yellow like that.
Where did you get them from Mary-Anne and how old are the plants? Thanks.
