The Garden in April

The garden is covered in flowers at the moment. A lot of them are the same as last month, but there are a few new ones. I ran around photographing them today, and when I uploaded the photos off the camera I was surprised to find I had taken 76 photos. There are a lot of photos here, but not that many, I promise!

Blue chalk sticks:

Abutilon with at least three bees inside:

Chives:

There are about half a dozen different salvias, but this one has the most amazing colour combination.

Graffiti geraniums:

Zinnias:

Digger's speedwell:

Hakea "Burrendong beauty":

Not actually open yet, but they look pretty good even before they do.

Forgot to look at the tag on this one and it is too dark outside to go and check it now:

Marigolds:

The lilac flowers in spring, but this is the second year it has had a few autumn flowers as well:

Another confused spring-flowering plant, the flowering quince (Chaenomeles):

Penstemon with dahlias and salvias in the background:

Lots of roses. This one is "Raspberry Tiger"

I'm not sure exactly what this ground-cover plant is:

(Huge thanks to Dee for identifying it for me in the comments. Cymbalaria muralis, Kenilworth ivy)

Also flowering, honeysuckle, hebes, windflowers, verbena, echevarias, strawberries, kangaroo paws, a few euphorbias, so many flowers everywhere.

And I almost forgot! The African violets are blooming profusely indoors:
