Bud №6 op n this morning, l thought I'd show a different perspective today, being so large l had to anchor her down yesterday with bricks on strings, she was taking a voyage around the pond because of her buoyancy. 😅. @belfastcc @Adriennebotanic @FoBBG_ @longwoodgardens

@ThurratHayley @FoBBG_ @belfastcc @longwoodgardens I hit the double yoke jackpot a while back when making brekkie lol If you get both blooms at the same time you will be known forever as Hayley Two Flowers!
English
Well not the flowering l predicted, but what l didn't predict was a double bud! I'm unsure wether the smallest one will open , but it's like getting a double yoke on an egg 😅

@ThurratHayley I preferred it's old name #Maniltoa - it took me ages to keep it in my head, and when i did they bloody changed it lol The new growth is always a delight to see.

Mabye my favourite tropical tree, the #cynometralenticellata. Look at that new growth, it's beautiful. Although the genus is pan tropical this guy is native to New Guinea. And..... Is in the #leguminosae clan, and so a great nitrogen fixer!

In poundland after my irish class wed to get a couple of postcard size photo frames and they had a shelf full of analogue clocks saying various times. Found myself automatically thinking Tá sé cúig i ndiadh a deich etc as i walked by them. Something is sticking lol

Finally did 100 consecutive days on #wordle Nearly done it a few of times but broke my streak by picking wrong option on last try or forgetting to log in. Now going for 150 lol
