Glen, some photos of your plants. The bottle brushes are those you left when you went to live down in Melbourne. They have very rarely been watered and in a forgotten part of the garden but this year is the first year that they've got lots of new shoots, quite healthy and flowered. Amazing what some more than usual rain earlier in the year can do. One is red and one is cream flowered. The other flowers pics you left when you went overseas recently. There is the rosemary and the lavender and the other plants that were in the long skinny planters all doing better than they actually did last year.
