Ginger Lilies and the Custard Apple


I bought this ginger lily from Anne late last year. The leaves and blooms smell deliciously of, well, ginger! I was a tiny bit disappointed to discover that this is not the edible ginger plant but bought it anyway as I love the smell and the flower is gorgeous!






The happiest dahlia in the garden yet - must be the more moderate rainfall we've been having.






Another beauty from Anne - a lovely lilac rose.






I had never seen yellow and orange cosmos until I purchased a packet of seed a few months back - now I just see them popping up everywhere in town!






When Ewa said she would bring me a custard apple, I expected something that looked more like an apple. It took about three days after picking to get soft and spongy on the outside and then I cut it open, as instructed.






It may lack the actual creaminess of custard but it is so unbelievably sweet it gave me toothache.
