What's in Flower - August

Here's my second-last monthly post of the flowers currently in my garden.

First rose of spring:

Unidentified deep red rose.

Cymbidium orchid - Peter Pan X Snow Eagle "Malcolm":

These flowers are looking a bit sad, but still hanging on.

Vireya "Princess Alexandra":

Grevillea "John Evans":

Callistemon:

This one has only a couple of flowers at the moment, despite being a fairly large plant.

Lemon tree:

Another callistemon:

This one has a few flowers, but mainly on a branch which has been broken in the wind.

Thickleaf aeonium, Aeonium arboreum:

A little bit of a cheat, as none of the flowers are actually open yet. But the buds are getting ready to pop. The flowers will be yellow.

Eucalyptus leucoxylon (yellow gum) 'Eukie Dwarf':

Has lots of buds, but this was the only flower I could find open. It looks like it has been bashed around a bit by the weather though.

Crassula ovata:

Rosemary:

Lavender:

This one is absolutely covered in flowers.

Mexican sage (Salvia leucantha):

Bethel sage - Salvia involucrata 'Bethelii':

Fringe flower, Loropetalum chinense var rubrum:

 Violets (Viola odorata):

 This one looks a bit ratty!

Jonquils:

Bergenia:

Spring really is coming, and here's proof - jasmine flowers (Jasminum officinale):
