Missing my Jacaranda but watch this space...

 It's Jacaranda time here in Brisbane and I miss my tree - so for old times sake here it is. 

The absence of one however has pushed me to create another - so from the stone/pip/seed of Russ's avocado I nurtured it in a cup of local artist and ceramicist Tony Rice, until it suddenly shot up and declared its roots to the water. I was so thrilled to see that. Hubby has planted it in a pot and I have officially anointed the three men, Russ, Tony and Charlie to be godfathers to my new avocado tree. Long may it grow and flourish. 

When it is stronger it will find its place in the garden, already reserved for it.
