In this hemisphere, September 1st is the official beginning of Spring.
It wasn't raining, for once, so of course Manu LeGrand and I headed to a beach for our walk.
When we got back, I walked around the garden looking for spring signs.

Nice little collage you've put together there.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the red flower next to the cute doggie?

It's a Grevillea, thunder - it's an Australian native which grows well in the northern parts of New Zealand.
DeleteI did pretty much the same garden wander myself. And I also have some grevillea out - the birds love it. I don't understand how they don't get spiked by its prickly leaves, but they seem to manage just fine. Everything else in your garden seems a bit more advanced than it is over here. We have hyacinths in plenty though. The garden is perfumed by them (and so is the house because I couldn't resist picking one).
ReplyDeleteWe haven't really got much out yet - camellias of course, but nothing else to speak of. Hyacinths don't seem to be grown much over here, except for forced ones in. pots
DeleteAhh, spring. I love being able to see, and somewhat experience, your spring and summer (my favorite seasons) as we head into fall and winter. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteOH i love your spring things!!! the tree (or bush?) in upper left looks like the Wild Plum we have here. i also really like the purplish flowers next to that tree & under!!
ReplyDeletebeautiful signs of spring!! (i'm looking forward to a little COOL!!)
Thanks, Max and Laura.
ReplyDeleteWe're just entering a British Autumn. Rain, cold and mist. Bit like summer but without the bugs.
ReplyDeleteGreat collage.
