Gardeners and Garden Gems

Sometimes the dogs want to give more help in the garden than is actually useful!!

Kiki:



Ruby (now with her second ear up!!) .... who has been pruning my kiwi vines whether I like it or not!!:



And some 'shots' of colour around the garden, blue star flowers - several clumps amongst the roses:



Some lovely little daffs, a bit bashed by dogs!!:



The daphne a riot of blooms again this year - star!!  And heavenly perfume :)




The flowering quince, tons of flowers and ignored by the crimson rosellas this year... maybe thanks to the dogs?




Have been looking around the shops for a red japonica, since the flowering quince is doing so well, but then I found I already had one!!  Not very big yet, but very pretty :)




A couple of pockets of grape Hyacinths looking lovely :)


And not to be forgotten the natives are also doing well, the grevillias are in full swing:


 Jonquils, nearly past it:



And just 2 flowers so far on the prunus, small but perfectly formed!

  1. Lovely flower pics. Especially like the prunus. And it only reminds me that as you are enjoying spring, we are working our way to winter - the days grow shorter, the leaves are just beginning to turn.
