Lots of yummy colours and variety there MA

if they don't they're weeds.

Beautiful 
I noticed that you still have agapanthus flowering. Mine are continuing late this year too, usually finished either just before or shortly after Xmas but I still have some coming into bud... strange.

Nice pics
The weed is Blue billygoat weed, an ageratum of some sort. In recent years, there has even been one sort of ageratum released as an annual flower - I was surprised when I saw them for sale in punnets... I've been pulling the *#%#@ out for years.

Yes we have been pulling them out for years too Gail Thanks for the ID, I know where they come from some of the paddocks around the corner going to the lagoon have lots in them, wind and birds Thankfully I only see the odd one on occasions now.
I just googled interesting to find that its a introduced species from tropical America.

Nice ones MA, I think I will for the first time cut all my roses as they will all be burnt and useless in a few days

Thanks Cheryl.. And I agree, you do what you think is right only you know your plants, it does not matter how much water you give them it the fierce sun and wind that turns them crispy I have the opposite problem this week they are balling another unsightly look and they will get pruned next week..

pruned nearly all of them over the weekend after last week, so not many to cut anyway

I'm glad you reminded me Mary-Anne as I nearly forgot to do this months. There isn't a lot different to last month. I forget to put hibiscus on... I'll do one of them later.
