It’s officially winter now but our garden doesn’t seem to care.

I already posted photos of the hibiscus, so here are some of the other flowers popping up. I don’t know what they are, generally, other than pretty. I’ve captioned the ones I do know.

Aloe vera
Orchids, a bit ran and wind damaged

As for fruit, well our couple of surviving cherimoya are still growing and still rock hard so not ready to harvest. They’re stunted but when they soften they should be tasty.

Then there’s the orange tree which is heavy laden.

The fruit are almost ready, we’ve started eating a few. When they’re ripe their flesh is quite dark, almost like a grapefruit, and sometimes streaked with red like a blood orange.  Here are two side by side for colour comparison.

Either way they’re tasty.
