Why is this fig so important?

April 10, 2012 By 1 Comment

I hope you all had a great Easter break.  I even took a break from my blog here – family things happening, attending church services and also breaking in a new computer.  I’m still transferring stuff from the old one but am at about 85% capacity now.

Today’s photo was taken a couple of days ago. Our fig tree has had a lot of little Silver-eyes this year and I noticed that several were fighting over one particular fig – don’t know why. There are lots of figs on the tree still.  At any rate managed to get three of them in the one shot with this fig they were all keen on.

A touch of Autumn

March 25, 2012 By 1 Comment

It’s now officially Autumn here, although I’ve seen signs of it coming in some of the plant life since February.  Here, in our own garden, one of our Liquidamber trees and the Weeping Oak have begun to show their colours through their leaves. I know it’s only a few weeks before our whole garden puts on a splendid display of autumn colour.  I love this time of year.

I thought this one really strange – like a bit had been tacked onto the end of the leaf.

Autumn amongst the green

Saw this Liquidamber leaf on the lawn the other day. It certainly showed up amongst the green on the ground. I love this time of year – fresh with rain, colourful with the Autumn leaves, still warm in the days, cooler at night.

A study of Bella Donna Lilies

Or otherwise known as ‘The Naked Lady’. I assume because of it’s lack of leaves (dressing) when in flower. The leaves are present at other times.

These are popping up all over our garden at the moment and are very pretty. They look so delicate too.

The last of the roses

February 28, 2012 By 1 Comment

Not many of our roses are flowering now, some but not a lot.  I really missed seeing them because of being confined indoors after my accident.  I’ve been going around dead-heading them to try and encourage a bit more flowering and this bush obliged.
