An Acacia!

This was a bit exciting this morning:

One acacia seedling! Acacia rigens, nealie wattle. Only one seedling out of four boxes of acacias, but at least it is a sign of hope. There are now only two species of TreeProject seeds that have not yet germinated.

And one of the crepe myrtles has started to flower:

It could be "Sioux", which started flowering on the same day last year. Then it was in a pot, but now it is in the ground.
