They did not do the main damage to the spuds though, as that looks to have been done by slugs.

I like the colours, however the collection of items is a bit like a "theme pub". I should know as I have been known to collect and cobble items together myself.

More than likely Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Tom Thumb', as it is quite commonly planted.

No bother, Margo.
Hoping to get some good pics posted anyway, as I will be unable to travel myself either.

Blooms from June to about September.
Strong smell which we hate but moths and other insects love. |
