My fir tree is still alive

It's been quite chilly and overcast today, but the warm weather at the weekend has certainly encouraged my plants to flower. I was a bit worried about my blue fir and thought it hadn't settled in (planted in July 06) but it now has new growth showing. The fuschia did actually have a flower open on Sunday, but over-enthusiastic watering by my helpful husband soon got rid of it!!!

Hi Mary,
I just saw your comment on my Jacaranda LO and thought I would google some info.
This link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacaranda
says that the tree grows best in tropical to sub-tropical climates. If you scroll down the page and read about Brisbane, Aust., that is where we live :)
Then I saw this link...
