Show us your flowers/garden.

Spent most of today yanking Pampas grass bushes out. Using truck ratchet tie downs and a nearby tree as an anchor
I apply as much tension as I can to a strop around the base then chop at the roots, tensioning up as it gives a little. Eventually they pop out and I drag them off to another environment. The big spikes that stick out of the tops are their flowers, which as kids we loved to use as lances or flags etc...

This agave has a big bloom happening at the bottom of our drive way and there is a couple more up the neighbours drive way below.

These are manuka flowers which give their name to the honey. They are only the size of my thumbnail at best.

This is a brugmansia, very closely related to datura and also toxic but mild in comparison

I thought I recognised that garden 🪴 🤔
