The Garden in February

It was a rainy morning for taking photos, but here's what is flowering this month. Skip this post if flowers are not your thing - there are heaps of photos here.

Crinum

Hebe

Honeysuckle

Citrus tree

Chives

Geranium

Penstemon

Sedum "Red Setter"

Diggers speedwell

Correa

Red hot pokers

Roses

Echeveria

Creeping boobialla (Myoporum parvifolium)

Carnation

A little detour into the vege garden. Strawberries

Marigolds

A bee in a pumpkin flower:

A pea or bean of some variety...

Back to the flower garden. Abutilon.

Salvia (one of several varieties):

Phygelius aequalis "Yellow trumpet":

One of several different buddleias:

Others flowering but not photographed today include the dahlias, lorepetalum (just starting), various pelargoniums, nepeta, and the stringybark messmate trees.

Surprisingly only one of the crepe myrtles even has buds yet. Maybe most of them aren't going to flower this year? None of the daylilies have flowers. And no belladonna lilies have come up this year! It has been a strange summer in the garden.

A lovely lot of flowers. Everytime I see a red hot poker I kick myself, must go and buy one! Our crepe myrtles are putting on a good show, but still very little. My belladonna lillies are almost finished, but I have not noticed the correas flowering, so I must go and check.

Lovely to see the rain droplets on all your flowers. A very soft palette, beautiful.
My crepe myrtle has some new growth so there is hope for it yet.
