Sunday Selections #615

 

Long ago, Kim of Frog ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections. 

A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please. 

Nothing rude or vulgar though.

And we don't mind at all if overseas bloggers care to join us.

The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I occasionally join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look.

these are the new recycled trolleys at my local Woolworths supermarket, the writing says, "pushing for a greener future"

on the handle it says, "You're pushing 152 milk bottles", that would be recycled plastic bottles, a good use for them in my opinion.

here we have a lovely fence which is weathering beautifully

this one appears to be custom made

you just don't see designs like this "on the shelf"

nice wheels on a very nice car

Murrayas were blooming everywhere the day I took these photos, they're very pretty, but I had to hold my breath as I passed them, they have that heavy, heady perfume which is not good for me. 

beautiful pink ruffles peeping over the gate

and the gate itself

the next few photos are from my previous home, all the fruit trees I was growing in what I called my "Fruit Forest"

on the left at the front is my hoya, possibly not the same one I have now, top right hand corner is a pale pink mesembryanthemum, this is also where I had the giant honeysuckle vine with blossoms five inches long.

under the hoya are several pots of "gollum" sitting on a larger pot with a peach tree. on the right is a frangipani stem and behind that are two apple trees, one a granny-smith, the other a royal gala.

from the other end is this cherub which I still have, sitting in the pot of my cherry tree, also sitting in there are two pots with baby "ponytail palms".  I got a kilo of cherries from that one tree one year just in time for Christmas.

this is my dwarf nectarine tree which produced only one fruit that year and then I moved house.

the two plum trees produced plenty, one was a satsuma and the other another red fleshed plum that I can't remember the name of. Both delicious.

I grew a miniature rockmelon (canteloupe) vine which produce one tennis-ball sized fruit, here it is only half grown

across the yard along the fence I had a grapevine, sultana grapes, which didn't manage to produce anything before I had to leave. 

All these plants were donated to the Community Gardens when I knew I couldn't bring them with me. (not enough space here where I am now)

finishing again with the twins.

I don't yet have any new photos of them, so there won't be a picture of them next week.
