Minus 3 last night - and again tonight, according to BOM (Bureau of Meteorology) and that's about as cold as it gets here. Whenever there's a frost I think 'hope the babies (newly planted tubestock) will be OK' and recall the first year I planted some out and then rushed to cover them over when the frost arrived. The plus side of cold clear nights is usually beautiful wintersun days and the honey bees make the most of these to collect nectar and pollen. The 'Coastal Pink' Correa really are hardy and prolific flowerers and deserve a spot in the garden, needing no attention, unless shaping is desired. Meanwhile the birds still need their baths and this female Golden Whistler prefers hers ground floor while her colourful partner is more conventional.
