A few flowers from the garden in winter and spring. The below flower attracts the bees, and this plant was shifted from the front garden to the back one, it's called ?rose and for the life of me can't think of it's name. It has flowered all winter.
I've never grown tulips before this year I planted two colours red and yellow, the yellow hasn't come out as yet and it might not. We used to go to the tulip farm along the north west coast, you will find a post here of tulips grown there.
We moved the Irises in late summer to a different area in the garden, they are doing better but the wind knocked them about.
I love this coloured daffodil.
Love irises! What kind of plant is your new header?
ReplyDeleteThe irises are pretty. Header flower is Wattle..
DeleteHow gorgeous, Margaret!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda.
DeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteYour flowers are very beautiful. I love the pale blue iris.
ReplyDeleteThank you Marit. I used to have several pale blue irises, they seem to have disappeared also had white and yellow - both gone.
DeleteThe irises are similar to Dutch irises. I've tried those here too, but they never come back, Margaret. Maybe they are annual irises.
DeleteMystery rose blooming through winter is a real treat for the bees and for you alike
ReplyDeleteIt is a mystery that rose flower however one lady has named it :) yes bees were there rather early which is good.
DeleteThose flowers are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary.
DeleteIt's nice to see colour happening in the gardens of others when I don't have one of my own.
ReplyDeleteOh Andrew, that is nice of you to say. Getting a bit long in the tooth to do the gardening, we are managing.
DeleteSuch pretty flowers
ReplyDeleteThank you Jo-Anne.

Thank you.
DeleteWow. The purples ones are the best.
ReplyDeleteI like the blue/purple one of my favourite colours.
DeleteIt's lovely to see your flowers when they have mostly gone to sleep here. Thanks for sharing them Margaret :) Love your four leave clover at the bottom of the page.
ReplyDeleteThanks Denise.
DeleteIs it a Rose of Sharon?
ReplyDeleteThank you and I believe you are right. We once couldn't buy the plant buts it's been available for a while now.
DeleteI just love all of your flowers ... lovely to see.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy day.
All the best Jan
Thank you Jan.
DeleteLindas flores. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteThank you J.P.
DeleteThe flowers are beautiful. Shame the storms and wind challenged them to stay perfect.
ReplyDeleteThat's true Diane, the wind always comes and blows the flowers off or bends the stems over.
DeleteIs that a rose of Sharon? That is a type of hibiscus, I planted some hibiscus seeds recently. Or it is a mallow?
ReplyDeleteThank you for the name, I believe you are correct. The flowers are the same online as mine. No not a mallow, that flower looks different. I hope your seeds do well.
DeleteIs that first one a rose hibiscus? Or as Terra says a type of Mallow?
ReplyDeleteIt's a rose hibiscus as the flowers online as the same, so not a mallow R. Thank you.
DeleteHow can one daffodil flower have petals with two totally different colours?
ReplyDeleteClever is nature Hels. They the daffodils have been bred to do that, also there are many varieties that I once had of different yellows, orange and whites but they have disappeared over time.
DeleteUnas composiciones florales de gran belleza, amiga
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ildefonso.
DeleteWhat beautiful photos, Margaret!
ReplyDeleteI love the irises the most.
Greetings Irma
Thank you Irma. I love Irises, very beautiful flower.
DeleteThose tulips are to die for! All of the flowers look great. I keep forgetting it's Spring there. Hugs from the north....
ReplyDeleteI was struck more by your native wattle than the other flowers, but they are all gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteAs flores também encantam muita gente e eu não fujo à regra.
ReplyDeleteAbraço de amizade.
