Waterlogged

Sometime after that sunset last night, it began to rain.

Then it kept raining.

Between showers this morning, here's the corner of my garden where once the Corymbyia ficifolia stood:
That is mulch floating on a couple of centimetres of water. You can see the poor little Callistemon viridiflorus I planted in its place, whose label said it could withstand waterlogging. This will test that claim!
(And yes, I noticed the weed, but couldn't get to it without paddling.)

i still think there's a broken/blocked stormwater drain there.

We're swimming about in our garden too. Kids utterly overjoyed (but they're not Corymbyia ficifolias)...
