Fire colours to illustrate the heat we have happening here in Oz. Two roses featured
are Fragrant Cloud and Shady Lady, then there are two pictures of canna leaves a fuchsia and Dietes.

Some parts of our state has reached 50 degrees Celsius, there are 2 fires at the moment
out of control north of us, with a northerly wind behind it.. we are staying indoors
because Adelaide has a forecast of 46 degrees Celsius, and we are a couple of degrees
cooler than downtown Adelaide. Its not a nice day here, only dropped to 35 over night.
A cool change is supposed to arrive late this afternoon bringing with it some dry lightning strikes that could start new fires.

N.S.W. is much worse than we are, with 800 houses lost, fire people killed and injured
and no respite ahead. The whole of the east coast has 100's of fires burning. What a start to summer!
