I woke up this morning and it was fine and sunny. By 9.30 am it was cold and reports of snowfall in and around the ACT were on the radio.
One of my humble volunteers had to get out a rug.
We are coming towards the end of Floriade and this time last year it was shortsleeve shirts all around.
Still the flowers don't seem to mind.
Thats spring in the ACT.
It is snowing in Canberra! Well the ACT anyhow.

Re: It is snowing in Canberra! Well the ACT anyhow.
It hailed last night here in Tassie. My Japanese Maple copped a bit of a beating from it 
Also, it washed out one of my Wisteria seeds (though only 1 out of ten seems to have made it through the soil anyway)

My lovely Girlfriend (who lives in ACT currently, sad face)
Said that Floriade was bigger this year than last
Has it gone well so far this year?
or is it just the same as last? maybe now i'm into Bonsai she's actually paid more attention Ha ha

On Monday I was having a chat with my mate (a VIP in Canberra) and he was saying that numbers are down this year because of the weather.Jordy wrote:My lovely Girlfriend (who lives in ACT currently, sad face)

However we are doing as well if not better than last year.
The actual display of Floriade does seem bigger and better this year.
