Hawkeye

My son spotted this newly fledged Sparrow hawk on my greenhouse this afternoon. I crept forward to see how close I could get, with my camera in hand of course.

Rubus

Cultivating this Rubus for accent use this year. It’s got a Taiwanese origins I believe, at least that’s what I think I was told by Pat when I got it from him! This is it’s flower. It’s staying tight in the pot which is a good sign, no big runners like a bramble!! Be interesting to see if it sets fruit. Anybody know the name of it?

Agapanthus Snow Pixie

Whilst browsing through the multitudes of stock at Bali Hai nursery last year I decided to give a small variety of Agapanthus a go for a Kusamono. I actually got 3 varieties but this one has come out the best. It’s Snow Pixie. I’m hoping that with a few years in a pot the flower will produce a shorter stalk but if it doesn’t, I think I’m happy with the result. Maturity will help. Not quite open yet, I’ll post again when in flower flower.
