Our Embothrium coccinea is flowering for the second time this year and
flowering well, too. Anyone else experiencing this? I do hope it's not a
bad omen because when a Eucryphia did a fabulous flowering in January, 3
years ago, it promptly died!

Double-flowering on notro is common in NZ.

I don't think there's been much about this summer that would make anyone
think they're in NZ, not even a confused Embothrium. ;-)

Bits of New Zealand have heavy rainfall.

I hope bits of Australia do, too. They are desperate for rain.

It thinks it's just coming out of winter: day-length is right,
weather's warming up, not so much rain......

It's going to wear itself out, poor thing!

That map was average rainfall for New Zealand. My point was that the
exceptional rainfall of this summer will be similar to normal rainfall
in some parts of New Zealand.

Bits of Australia do have high rainfall

http://www.australiatravelsearch.com.au/trc/facts.html

Note Tasmania, bits of the Queensland Coast, and the Cape York
Peninsula. Unfortunately they're not the bits that are desperate for
rain.

There have been exceptional rainfall events in parts of Australia over
the last few months.

For example, "Rainbow Beach on the Sunshine Coast, north of Brisbane,
smashed the Australian daily rainfall record with a whopping 713mm in
the 24 hours to 9am (AEST) on August 24."
