Myrtle - The Crepe Myrtle

You may remember that back on Australia Day, I'd planted Myrtle (http://fbpod.blogspot.com/2009/01/new-arrival.html)

I was a bit worried about Myrtle over the winter months as her leaves dropped and a bare skeleton remained. Did I plant her too late, was she established enough to make it through her first winter alone? Looking around the neighbourhood, I could see her cousins all coming into flower - but not Myrtle


and then! leaves! She's making a beautiful comeback and is looking very healthy

I'm so happy that she's survived her first winter alone, away from the bosom of the home.
I used to wake up at night, worrying - was she ok? was she warm enough? was she safe from harm spending her nights standing on the street corner - who knows what could've happened?
love
mum
