Nice frangi down the bottom  I love the white one too. The bauhinia is probably b galpinii which is a sprawly shrub or climber if it gets the chance. We have one that is flowering well at the moment that has climbed up through one of the old black wattles down the back corner. Strange looking brom flower 
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.

Yes it is a lovely colour Gail I think I have four different ones I know for a fact that other FS I put on before is a FS as Elaine across the road gave it to me for a Christmas present in 04 and I have the label, she also gave me some cuttings from one in her garden this one is from those cuttings so it could be a different one.. Daniel gave me a cutting off his one in 05 and now I have the three pieces from you last January they are all very healthy though still small..
Thanks for the name on the Bauhinia its a big shrub every year I chop it down to a metre and its grows so tall over the Summer.. Yes it is a strange brom flower and because it is up against the shade cover Tony made I cannot get a pic of the leaves may try again later..
I wonder if those blue Ginger flowers open any wider..

Thanks Gwen I had a few of those Bauhinia but dug them out when they got so tall I needed a ladder to prune them, only have the one now and keep it to a size I can manage..

Probably just as well Cheryl..
Or you may have to give up work to maintain it, if it was bigger..

The Blue Ginger has opened but the little buds only open one at a time so far..
And they are opening around the side where I cannot get past the tree.
