I have not seen any damage so far.<br /><br />Autumn Belle - These are railway quarters been evacuated and the land been cleared for new development. If you can see at the background, there is a flats there, that too had been evacuated and it the stage of demolition.<br /><br />Ami - any news of spring yet in your region. Hope the frost is over.<br /><br />JC - I agree with you, probably these had overgrown over time, I guess it must be months by now & so the plant had reached its full show.<br /><br />LC - Welcome and thank you for your lovely comment.

Why are the houses abandoned just like that?Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901937196017931930.post-8576463590423425782010-03-24T15:36:20.221+08:002010-03-24T15:36:20.221+08:00This ixora has a beautiful colour.

Good that you rescued this plant.<br /><br />Btw, the flash rain destroyed many of my flowers and some plants. I hope your garden is still in shape. I have to nurse quite a number of 'injuries' for now ;-)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05867061279916535777noreply@blogger.com
