We have had some wet days but more drizzle than rain. Lately, it has been cold in the morning but good days if one could keep out of the cold wind. In spite of this the spring flowers seem to be early this year.
I just went around the garden and took a few photos.
I leave these cyclamen in a shady place and bring them out when they start to flower
There are several cinerarias
The blueberry we were given last year is coming into bud
The poinsettia has been in flower for a while now.
I think this rose is on a bush that has not been cut back yet.
These New South Wales Waratahs will be a show before too long.
There are a few daffodils
including this lovely clump of miniature daffs which have been flowering for a while.
Some stock and geraniums
A yellow Red Hot Poker or is it a Yellow Hot Poker.
some more cinerarias
We are still picking the various broccoli that we planted and there are lots of chard, spinach, beetroot and leeks. Will have to start clearing some beds shortly for summer veges.
And here in the northern hemisphere we are just at the end of summer. The kids will be back to school on Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteI prefer autumn and spring to summer and winter.
DeleteA lush garden you have there, Susan. The yellow Red Hot Poker might, indeed, need a name change!
ReplyDeleteI am never sure what to call it.
DeleteSuperb flowers! Bright, vivid colors!
ReplyDeleteYes, they seem early this year.
DeleteThose small daffs, I have some similar ones, and have always thought they were the " Hoop Petticoat" variety?? Next year I will have them all together in a bronze pot. Two tulips, to quote a friend , are " Pregnant", that is, a tiny bud on a 6 inch stem. I am so excited as I thought with the move and transplanting, they wouldn't do well at all. Your lush flowers show the difference between our temperatures, even though we have had warm days too.
ReplyDeleteYour daffs in the bronze pot will be lovely
DeleteYour Daffs made me instantly smile. It'll be quite a while before we see them again here.
ReplyDeleteA lovely sign of spring.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see your spring flowers. I've just been putting in some winter-flowering pansies and went out yesterday to buy some miniature daffodil bulbs. I hope they do as well as your daffs.
ReplyDeleteThe clump of miniature daffs seems to have doubled in size this year. Pansies always make a good show.
DeleteYou have lots of Spring colour there, on my daily walks I've been admiring other peoples gardens especially the daffodils and jonquils.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a lovely time of year.
