Thanks windy.
It looks nice and warm but as soon as the sun disappeared, it was cold! I think the day highs were only about 15°C.
Yep, that Poinsetta is tall and nice and bushy too. Hubby is 180cm / 5'10" tall, so that gives you an idea.
Dates turn brown when they are dried, these are not ripe but they will darken before they are harvested.
