I will take any color I can get my hands on!!!
Your plants look fantastic considering it's mid-winter down under.
What is the temperature at the moment?

Hi Alex, right now it's 8.30 in the morning and it's a comfy 14 deg C / 57 F.
Overnight the mercury dipped to 10 deg C / 50 F and the expected high today is 25 deg C / 77 F. This is typical of an average winter's day here in north-eastern Oz.
We occasionally get cooler nights. The last two nights we've experienced 6 deg C and 5 deg C (42 F and 41 F), which is rather cold for us.
