Sunny days

Well it was bound to happen eventually. Sunny days are here!

Don’t get me wrong, there are still plenty of places in Australia struggling with the excess of water we’ve had in recent weeks. And weeks and weeks it seems… but here in my little garden oasis it is ‘sunny days time’.

Pink roses on a sunny surface. David Austin rose, ‘John Clare’
‘John Clare’ a David Austin rose.

Flowers are blooming, I have roses, salvias, Kniphofia, Bearded Iris, Pelargoniums, Aquilegia, Daisies, Alstroemeria, Viburnums, Poppies, Fuchsia, and Wisteria all making a show now. That’s all I can see from where I’m sitting and which I know to be flowering now, but if I got up and walked around I would see plenty more!

The camellia hedge still needs cutting back, the box hedge still needs cutting back, and the lawn is looking slightly out of control due to not being able to mow it because it’s been raining too long, but if you disregard all that you can see the beauty which is springtime.

Potted pansies and violas with a metal bird sculpture.
And Violas too!

As I’m sitting here, the garden is calling out to me. Best I get up and do something in it. Soon…

Til next time!
