As to the flower, it didn't smell like a jasmine (the ones I know) and though I originally had it there instead of crepe myrtle, I plumped for one or the other. But I'll defer to your collective wisdom. 'Potato vine' sounds too unromantic, but I'll accept 'potato flower jasmine.' <br /><br />I think Julie <i>Lake</i> should also add an opinion!Denis Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786035137418348609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722735165669239585.post-70647244917698806632012-02-12T17:46:12.883+11:002012-02-12T17:46:12.883+11:00Trim chap my bum.

(Well, that's part of the problem! ☺) More than 2 years of steroids, now a dependency, have eliminated any illusions about your optimism (euphemism....) but thanks for trying to maintain them! It's something my vanity has never let me reconcile with, though heaven knows I should have lost all trace of <i>that</i> by now. <br /><br />But to the point - yes, I think you're right about the snowgum. Apart from the yellow and white box, apple-box, red gum and stringybark that I used to cut for firewood here, I have trouble identifying some of the others exactly, coming from the tropical lowlands as I did and not the high country.<br /><br />I suspect the postman might have given up on that nice red letter receiver quite a while ago!Denis Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786035137418348609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722735165669239585.post-84127610527745627862012-02-12T17:24:31.998+11:002012-02-12T17:24:31.998+11:00It's like those silhouette images where you se...It's like those silhouette images where you see things only one way, and then when you see them reversed, that's all you can see.

I think that honeysuckle/crepe myrtle dilemma may also need to add 'jasmine' to its list - oh, I've just seen the comment above. Yes, I agree with Julie, I think it is a jasmine known as potato flower jasmine, but my knowledge of these things is super-weak.zmkchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08972549292961948240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722735165669239585.post-50896417247626292422012-02-11T22:01:05.872+11:002012-02-11T22:01:05.872+11:00That's quite a trim chap walking ahead there! ...That's quite a trim chap walking ahead there! Lovely photos.The 'honeysuckle' is potato vine, I forget it's proper name. solanum something?? The blue gum might be a snow gum (maybe)I'm wondering if the postman can get in to put the letters in the red mail box..this is a good sort of story as images make one's own imagination work:)<br />Julie xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722735165669239585.post-74863571404109825322012-02-11T16:43:27.180+11:002012-02-11T16:43:27.180+11:00Lovely!
