Feijoa blossom. Image: Su Leslie 2019
Rain has set in for the day, with lightening strikes and hail forecast.
I’m hoping all the new buds and plants survive, including the feijoas (Acca sellowiana). In all the years we’ve had feijoa trees, this is the first time I’ve seen significant flowering.

What a beautiful flower! And the red is set off perfectly by the blurred green background. 🙂

Damn! Can’t listen to the song! 😬 The flower is stunning! Hope the storm won’t be too bad and that all the buds and flowers will survive.

☹️ I still haven’t figured out which YouTube videos will play in different places. The flowers look as though they’ve survived ok. At least until the rain begins again. Sigh 😬

Funnily enough, I just got our washing off the line and at the same time admiring the overhanging feijoa tree. Hoping that it’s budding flowers turn into fruit. The flowers are so lovely and are a happy sight for all of us lovers of feijoas 🙂

What a beauty and love the raindrops. It looks to be a tougher flower than the usual spring blossom so hope it survives.

I enjoy seeing all the plants/flowers that I don’t know from around us. Rain can be devastating to buds and flowers. Lilacs, for instance, are beautiful but it seems that rain ruins the flowers almost immediately. We have to enjoy each of these beauties while we can!

Beautiful, hope it survives and you get a good crop. I love feijoas and miss them over here, we had a hedge of them in Auckland.

I missed them too when we lived in the UK. There were about the only thing from “home” we could never get. In fact most Brits had never heard of them.

We don’t get them over here much and when we do they are very expensive
