White Flowers

I haven't spent much time outside recently, but a couple of days ago I suddenly noticed that there are lots of white jonquil flowers open in the front garden.
Today I even got a chance to photograph one!

Yesterday morning as I was driving out I noticed the white wind-flower buds were finally opening:
The pink one flowered back in April. The buds on this white (with a hint of pink) one were just beginning then. This plant was a gift from the garden of a friend in the city, so I will be interested to hear from her when it flowers in her garden.

I'm glad we had a bit of wintery sunshine today for me to take the photos. Here's a couple of other creatures who enjoyed a touch of sun today:

    Such pretty flowers! I am always amazed by kangaroos that are out and free. Growing up in the US I only saw them in the zoo.

    Beautiful jonquils. And wind flowers. I don't think I know these. Are they related to anemones? How nice to see Kangaroos just hanging out!

    No sign of flowering on my wind flowers as yet. They do need a feed as the soil they are in is much depleted. My garden is mainly yellow with a variety of wattles.

    I wish the kangaroos would stay in the paddocks. Saw so many by the roadside on our trip these last few days.
