Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Sadly, no, we don't grown them here (that I know of), Cynthia. But, I just bought some Anisdontea Capensis/African Rose (a mallow) to plant around the garden. I need more flowers & they have gorgeous pink flowers (like a mini Hibiscus) for many months. 🌸🩷 The bees looove them, too 🌸🩷 130

Have a lovely Sunday & am sending more Koala hugs ♥️🐨 We are going to plant these pink flowers next week (Anisdontea Capensis 🌸) 110
Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Hi Linda ♥️ Thanks so much for thinking of me. The weather is slowly warming up & I am not looking forward to the Summer heat, sadly. Lots of pretty flowers blooming in the garden 🌸🌼🏵 The Rainbow Lorikeets have built a nest in the tree at the front of our house ♥️ Sending snuggly Koala hugs to you ♥️🐨 130
Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 23/08/2026That bully stick looks deelish, Maris ♥️ You have been a most excellent Florence Nightingale looking after your Mom ♥️ I hope her knee is healing well ♥️ Sending gentle Koala hugs across the oceans to both of you ♥️🐨♥️🐨🌾🌻🌼🏵☀️🦋🐦🌸 Hellebores/Winter Roses are blooming in our garden, Cynthia. ♥️ 010

Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Mmmmm ..... Greek yoghurt is incredibly delicious, Maris ♥️ You have had the best week with the most delectable treats, blueberries, watermelon & now Greek yoghurt! Your Mom is soo wonderful & caring, and, you, Maris are the bestest & sweetest girl ♥️♥️ Sending hugs & Daphne from garden. The scent is ♥️ 160
Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 25/07/2026LOL!! This is actually me "surrendering" to the possums!! 😂😂😂😂 Thank you soo much for the possum, garden & nature discussion. I hope you have a lovely weekend 🦋🐦🌾🌻🌼🏵🌸☀️ These are the Daphne plants growing in our front garden. I wish I could share the beautiful scent that they have 🌸 130
Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Yes, you are probably right about the possums who dine on the Camellias. I have tried everything to deter them including a vile smelling chilli & garlic spray. Nothing works! Camellias are espaliered on the fence outside our kitchen window. This is the Camellia You have great knowledge of Australia 130
Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Yes!! I am dealing with the bigger one 😬 But, there is an extended family of them!! 8 at last count & they looked like this portly lass, who I have shared before. (She lived at our previous house, but her relatives look the same!) & they do eat a LOT 😥 & have started eating our Camellias again 😥 220
Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 23/07/2026The pruning was done by experts, who actually climbed each tree to trim the tops & selective pruning on lower branches. I like the "waterfall" look cos I don't like formal hedging of plants 😉 We have lots of Birdies, who nest in them. Little English Blackbirds & tiny native Finches. We love them ♥️🐦♥️ 110
Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Sadly, I don't have a real Corgi, but, I hope that one of our plush Corgis, named Maggie will make you smile 🩷 She radiates "emotional support Corginess" to us & hopefully to you, too 🩷🩷 Sending Koala hugs to you ♥️🐨🌾🌻🌼🌸🏵🦋🐦☀️ 170
Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Here are the Waterhousea trees along our driveway, Cynthia ♥️ They are very lush & the local possums have been dining on their leaves during the night 😥 Surprisingly, there was no dining last night after the trees were pruned! I am shocked, but, most delighted by the leaves being off the menu! 😂♥️🐨 230
Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 22/07/20262/2 Here's the other way. Honestly, he & the Republicans & Lobbyists have no idea or any concept of trying to help people anywhere with their health. They are despicable. All of them. 010
Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Firstly, your cheese selection is making me hungry & is also fabulous, Rhonda!! ♥️ I don't understand how he can come after our Public Benefits scheme either but he mentions it whenever he talk to anyone from our Government. I did some googling & here there are 2 ways he is trying to target it 1/2 210
Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Thank you, Ted. Life is wonderful in the land down under, even though it is mid Winter! Am doing lots of gardening & catching up with our friends. Here is a miniature White Caviar Magnolia from our garden for Mrs, Ted's Birthday ♥️🩷🎉🎂🍰 101
Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 10/07/2026I looove seeing Molly again ♥️ Your woodworking skills are fantastic! I especially love the mailbox & baby rocker. My hubby is a woodworker too. He made this ornamental guitar & it has wooden strings. Sending Koala hugs to Bennie & Violet ♥️♥️ 260
Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Wishing you a very Happy Birthday, Peggy's lovely person 🎉🎂🍰🌸 I hope you have a wonderful day with Peggy 🩷🩷 You are a fellow Cancerian. My Birthday was on 1st July 🎉🌸 Sending a Camellia from my garden & Koala hugs to you & Peggy ♥️🐨♥️🐨🎉🎂🍰🌾🌻🌼🏵🌸 010

Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 24/06/2026That is wonderful that Ragnar did well with his anxiety at the BBQ ♥️ Siggy turned into a Tasmanian Devil? I cannot imagine that she would be one of those, Candy! 😂 They are fierce with nasty sharp teeth 😬 Is the owl solar powered like mine? He is supposed to keep possums from eating Camellias! Hugs♥️ 230
Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Oh nooo, Tazzy!! 😥 Like Taco said, Birdies are our frens ♥️🐦 (Our family pets were little Zebra Finch birds for many years & we loved them. ♥️ They are native to Australia & sing the sweetest song) I hope your Mom is feeling much better today & have a lovely weekend. ♥️🌾🌻🌼🏵 Please keep Birdies safe 🐦♥️ 150
Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 15/06/2026I just know how you are feeling after losing sweet Sam, Sara 💔 Here is a photo of our beloved Wilbur & Misty. We had them for 7 years & they had the sweetest songs. I miss them so much but I swear that I can hear them singing some days ♥️ I hope they make you smile a little. Sending 🐨 hugs ♥️ 130
Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 28/05/2026Sending pawsitive thoughts & uplifting Koala hugs across the oceans to you, Taco & your person ♥️🐨♥️🐨🌾🌻🌼🏵🦋☀️🐦🌸 Plus some of our Paradise Blush Camellias from our garden to lift your spirits & make you smile 🌸🌸♥️♥️ 140
Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 28/05/2026This is the solar powered Owl 😬 His eyes light up at night! I think he may be helping to deter those hungry possums, but, not 100% sure just yet. My Mum had one to deter possums from eating her Magnolia flowers, but, sadly it didn't work 😥 I am hoping this one will do a better job! Sending hugs ♥️🐨♥️🐨 120
Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 28/05/2026Yikes! The deer repellent sounds just like the possum repellent that I have! Actually, every year is bad for plant predation in our gardens here, Cynthia 😥 This is my artistic display (😂) of plastic spikes to deter the possums. It looks terrible but the Camellia will grow over it eventually 🌸🩷 110
Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 26/05/2026This is a large brush tail possum with her baby. They were on the roof of our previous home. We think this possum & her partner grazed the leaves & fruit of our Avocado tree & eventually killed the entire tree 😥 They eat Roses, Camellias & currently eating the Waterhousea trees along our driveway 😥 120
Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 24/05/2026I loove Maris & I looove her Dinosaur paws too ♥️♥️ It's so lovely that you are both back at the beach ♥️♥️ Have a wonderful day ☀️🦋🐦🏵 Sending more of those snuggly hugs with some Paradise Blush Camellias from outside our Kitchen window ♥️🐨♥️🐨🌸🌸 130
Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Reading & eating are 2 of my favourite things ♥️♥️ Enjoy ♥️♥️ A Camellia from our garden to make you smile 🩷 110
Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Hi Linda ♥️ Thanks soo much for reaching out & hope you are keeping well. I am doing well (apart from tweaking my back 2 days ago!) It's much cooler now & I always enjoy raking the Autumn leaves & gardening 🌾🌻♥️ It's going to rain here all week! I hope you have sunshine soon. 🐨Hugs ♥️ A Camellia 4 you🌸 110
Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 18/05/2026That is crazy to have snow in mid May, Rocky! We have had a very warm Autumn in southern Australia & the Gardenias are still blooming in our garden! They usually stop blooming in early March. Winter starts in June & I have never known it to be like this. Sending Koala hugs to you ♥️🐨🌾🌻🌼🏵☀️🦋🐦🌸 140
Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 01/05/2026Gorgeously glorious blooms, Taco 🌾🌼🏵🌸 Your Hyderangeas are beautiful! Your person is doing a wonderful job. Did you prune the Hyderangeas? Only ever prune the branches that have flowered & cut down to 2 plump buds. My Gardenias are still flowering here in May! It never happens usually! Hugs to you ♥️ 040
Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 28/04/2026Winston & Miley were white Zebra Finches, but, they usually look like this. Wilbur is on the left with a red beak, brown cheeks & spotted feathers on his wings. Misty is on the right with an orange beak, black smudge on her chest & all grey in colour. We miss them too. Hoping to care for a Corgi ♥️ 010
Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 28/04/2026They are so beautiful ♥️ I love our Platypus & watching them swim. How are Irma & Lola? They are going to have such fun together ♥️♥️ For many years we cared for many Zebra Finches. They are about 3 inches tall & sing the sweetest songs ♥️ This is Winston & Miley. We miss them so much. I love Corgis too 230
Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 26/04/2026P.S. Our possums are cute but they keep eating my Camellias & managed to devour our entire Avocado tree 😥 Here is a possum & her baby that lived in our garden in our previous home. I also wanted to tell you that I looove Corgis & look forward to watching Irma & Lola together ♥️♥️ Have a lovely day ☀️🌸 220

Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 19/04/2026Awww, how lovely to have Bunnies hopping along your patio, Linda ♥️🐰🐇 We had a Bunny in our garden several years ago. She had escaped from her family, who lived a block away from our house. She was so friendly & quite large. Her ears came up to my knee & I am only 5'2" tall 😂 Her name was Flopsy ♥️🐰🐇 120
Mandy Deam @mandydeam.bsky.social · 05/04/2026Ohh nooo!!
