Full of promise.....!
Even though the first day of spring was cloudy there was no rain. Taking advantage of this to get reacquainted with my back garden I was delighted to discover buds galore! I bonsai'ed le petit azalea above, amazingly it's been in the same shallow pot for over twenty years, it blooms twice a year, sometimes three, it's a plant that keeps on giving..it feels the love :) The bambino bougainvillea below flowered all through winter, can't ask for more.. the yellow climber to the right and the bush below (not sure of their names) are pregnant with promise, the white star shaped flowers smell divine when in full bloom. I wonder what this week will bring.. a kitchen for me hopefully, I won't hold my breath though :) Happy Monday, only five more days until the weekend, take care.....

Love these nice colored flowers.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Joop
What a beautiful garden. And it sounds the best sort too... a garden where we can mark the months and seasons by what will bloom next.
ReplyDeleteYour garden reflects your love, care, skill - as do your pretty posts from Perth!
ReplyDeleteYou are a delight:-)
Aloha
Nice photos, so good that you get to have flowers in the winter!
ReplyDeleteAh, 'pregnant with promise'. Wonderful garden you have.
ReplyDeleteYou are quite a gardener, Grace. And quite a photographer.
ReplyDeleteWonderful Photographs of the Australian Spring.
ReplyDeleteI loved the garden with these vibrant plants.
Hugs and kisses.
Oh, yes! I agree with the others -- a great gardener and photographer! Thanks as always for sharing the beauty!! Hope your "new" kitchen is all you want it to be, Grace!!
ReplyDeleteI think that your winter is easier to handle than ours, Grace!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to get such flowers (in winter eh?) in the garden. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteGosh these are gorgeous, and that first would've worked perfectly for theme day too! What other hidden talents do you have:)
ReplyDeleteThose pinks and red could overwhelm the eyes. I know nothing about gardening except dirt and water. Your patch is lush.
ReplyDeletePretty captures all!
ReplyDeleteLoved the bougainvillea the best!
What beautiful blooms. I love the white one.
ReplyDeleteI like that coloured bougainvillea better than the more common pink one.
ReplyDeletePromising spring!!! But then again it hasn't been very cold, has it?! :-)
ReplyDeleteSo if you are in spring, how come autumn only begins in three weeks up here?
You captured some pretty flowers, is your "winter" over already?
ReplyDeleteLovely shots, Grace! It's still very hot here and I can't believe autumn will soon knock on my door... and then comes the winter that I hate! :-)
ReplyDeleteTHEY would love to be here today. Pouring rain and TS all day. Feed me!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful garden! My parents used to be very good at nurturing their gardens. I have two black thumbs. Plants scream in terror when they see me coming.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers, Grace! Over here not even my sunflowers made it...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful signs of the coming season. I'm very much looking forward to fall here. Enough of this heat.
ReplyDeleteSweet little flowers! looking beautiful....

What gorgeous flower shots.
ReplyDeleteNow if only I could spend 6 months south of the equator and 6 months North I would be happy! I hate winter and as you are warming up we are cooling down :-(( Have a good day Diane
ReplyDeleteJust loverly! Lots of rain to give them a drink today!
ReplyDeletei wish we had your climate ... and i am betting Aimee cant wait to get that new kitchen done either
ReplyDeleteWe don't have all these amazing colors right now. It's green and lovely, but not with too many colors. I think it's very nice right now where you live. Fall is about to hit our city soon! I cannot wait. It's like a second spring here in the desert.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty flowers! Your photos of them are equally beautiful.
