Anything for a laugh and Flowers.

One of my sons put an App on my phone and did this comic photo of me and my husband's Great Grandchild - original photo taken September 2025.  I couldn't help but share it as I'm sure it will cause a laugh!  :) I love it.

Geraniums perennial ones, photo taken March.

Hydrangeas in the garden taken in March.

I've forgotten the above plants name!

Tulip time, Irises, Daffodil

 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.

At the Edge of the Desert.

 At the edge of the Desert in Western Australia we went looking for Wildflowers near a place called Carnarvan in that State.  How delighted we were to come across the flowers that I'm showing.  Somewhere there is always a flower in bloom.  These were taken in the springtime.

Flowers it seems.

 It's been a very long time since I've posted 'flowers', so I've collected a few from the archives to show you.  Most have all grown in our garden at some point in time, some are still.

Rose called 'Peace', then Nerines.

Chrysanthemum, then Agapanthus.

Lily then Dahlia.

Fushia then Freises.

Roses, above Crepuscule then Just Joey.

Roses, above Pink Iceberg then Seduction.

Above, a Lily. 

Aquilegia/Columbine or Granny Bonnet, then a rose from somewhere.

What's growing in Winter

Just a few flowers of what's growing in the winter time in my part of the world, Tasmania. 

Have no idea what the flower is below, it looks like a lily which I found growing in the bush at Hollybank.

Camellia hedge growing up the side of the house.

Leucadendron a native of South Africa growing up the back.

It seems amazing but this lavender has been flowering all winter.

Rose Hips before the weeping rose was pruned.

Came across the creature near the supermarket, there is a small creek that runs near and a golf course on the other side of the creek so hence ducks and so on. 

The vase contains Nandina leaves.  Nandina Domestica Nana is a short growing shrub where we have a taller one.  Nandina can be invasive in some States of Australia however that doesn't apply here in Tasmania.  It's also known as Heavenly Bamboo, Sacred Bamboo.

We went for a drive yesterday in the bush.  I took my Audi for a long drive actually as it's not been out of the garage for awhile and I do need to keep up my driving practice.

This yellow is Gorse was just everywhere on the hills. Took the photo from inside the vehicle as I was parked on a corner so the shot had to be a quick one.  

Gorse is a Native to Europe, it's dense thorny shrub that is now a major agricultural week in Tasmania and parts of Victoria.  It's one of the worst weeds because of its invasiveness, potential for spread, and economic and environmental impacts.

Gorse was introduced to Tasmania, Australia as a hedge and fodder shrub and came into our land about 1803 and later to Tasmania.  Even the early settlers didn't always get it right!

Sturt Desert Pea

Blooming time.  I just love these Sturt Desert Peas the native flower that grows wild in Western Australia and (few other place) where I took the photos a few years back.  They grow low on the ground somewhat like a runner, they certainly make the ground pretty.
