Since May the skies have been constantly overcast and it has rained every week, making this year the wettest on record for Tas, and this past weekend has seen extreme weather creating chaos throughout the state with thousands of homes losing power, more flood warnings etc. All is not doom and gloom though, because despite the recent demands of my job that has kept me away much of the time, I have managed to get the odd moment when sunshine and flower have been out at the same time and I've been there to see it!

And Today...Blues Skies and sun!! YAY!!

Here're a Few Mamms that are still flowering.








Enjoy, CP.
