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…

The Colour Purple
is prominent in our garden at the moment. Here are a some reasons why:
A touch of Autumn
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…
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.
Signs of Autumn
I’m loving seeing the signs of Autumn on its way. Our Liquidamber trees have leaves with changing colours and I’ve noticed many other different trees in our area with leaves turning mainly yellow, but some with orange as well. Of course, if you weren’t looking for it, you wouldn’t notice as most of the leaves…
Gladiolis in flower
I missed seeing some of the bulbs I’d planted some months ago come out in flower, as I was pretty much stuck inside unless I had assistance from my husband or another person. So I was really glad to find, once I could venture outside, that some of my gladiolis were still flowering. I particularly…
Spring activity
The bees are buzzing and aflying, and collecting pollen…. The blackberry is out in flower and the bees are doing their thing. Welcome to all new subscribers from the Grassroots Community Market in Upwey on the weekend. It was good to meet you all and I appreciate you stopping by my stall.
The colours of Christmas
I only just realised a couple of weeks ago that the colours of the Bottle Brush are Christmas colours. At least of the red bottle brush, I’ve seen a pink one and another that’s close to purple. Shot this one just after the rain a few days ago.
Spring flowers
The beauty of spring is well and truly with us now here in Victoria, Australia. These were taken at Cloudehill recently – a favourite place to visit. You can find out more about Cloudehill Nursery and grounds here. It makes me feel that I should be out in my own garden. They’re not forecasting too…
Beautiful day in Olinda
Went to Cloudehill today with friends and it was beautiful in spring colours!
Spring flowers
The flowers are starting to show abundantly in our garden now, with the mix of Spring rains and sunshine. The garden looked drab throughout winter but has sprung to life again and has lots of colour. This is just a small selection – a beautifully rich dark purple Iris and white Lilies.
