It's spring, and it seems like everything in the garden is flowering. That means there are heaps of flower photos here, so just skip this post if that's not your thing!
Nectarine blossom:
This is in addition to all the other fruit trees already in blossom: the peaches, the plums, and the apricots.
Leucodendron "Safari Sunset":
Kangaroo paw:
That's a bit of a cheat because it is not actually open yet. But it's here just in case a cocky comes and chomps it before it opens!
Acacia:
Unknown salvia:
Daisies:
Daffodils:
Many daffodils.
Grape hyacinths:
Rosemary:
Spring stars:
Lavender:
Euphorbias:
More euphorbias:
Lorepetalum "Purple Prince":
Forsythia:
Red hot pokers:
Can you see the yellow door on the house across the road? Our new neighbours have now moved in.
Viburnum tinus:
We planted a row of these to make a hedge around one part of the garden. However something pruned (ate) most of them just as the buds were forming. A couple escaped and have flowered this year, but they probably all need some protection if they are ever to get large enough to form a hedge.
There are also flowers on the pigface, the abutilons, the thryptomene, cyclamens, some of the succulents, the fuchsia, and some other bulbs such as the snowflakes, anemones, hyacinths and even some of the jonquils are still going.
And I nearly forgot the orchid in the greenhouse:
All four flower spikes are now open.

Wow you have everything blooming at once! Our thryptomene has finished, but stone fruit trees just kicking off. Does Lorepetalum "Purple Prince" have a really purple foliage all year around? Mum has a stunning plant which I suspect is this. It is on my to buy list for this year, along with a Red hot poker. And now I can add euphorbias to my list now that I know that's what they are called, thanks!
Acacia pravissima - Ovens Wattle
How gorgeous! It is so fun to see them all blooming again.
