Red palm weevil saga

And another one bit the dust.    We had 2 young Spanish guys working all day yesterday with an axe and chain saw to remove the remaining palm at the front of the house.   Cor, did it stink!  I had to drench the area in Jeyes Fluid.   We have bought fresh gravel today but the area needs a serious clean-up.   We have another of D's wonderful pots with a sundial on top to bring over to this space. 

On a happier note, look at this amazing bourganvillea in our one and only English neighbour in the area.   This two-colour plant is very unusual.  When they planted it 8 years ago it was totally magenta.   Does anyone know how this bourganvillea can suddenly produce another colour?
