The Garden in June

It is looking like winter around here, but there are still a few flowers to be found. These photos were taken at about 2 o'clock this afternoon, but the dark sky made conditions more like dusk. You will also notice from the photos that it has been raining today.




Flowering quince:

Hebe:

Euryops daisy:

A little pelargonium has been flowering for months:
It might be the South African Pelargonium reniforme.

Lavender:

Thryptomene:

Salvia:
Most of the salvias have been destroyed by frost, but this mini red one still has some flowers.

Rain-covered rosemary:

Osteospermum daisies:


Anemones:

Bergenia:

Penstemons:

A little wildflower, trailing goodenia:


Viburnum tinus:

Abutilons:

This was a surprise, as ceanothus normally flowers in spring, not in winter:

Some jonquils have started flowering, although most are only just appearing out of the ground:

Pigface is another plant that I don't expect to see flowering at this time of year:

The last of the Japanese windflowers:



And that's just about the lot. I missed the cyclamens, a grevillea, and a correa that some "helpful" bird had pruned all the flowers off.

The pictures aren't in the order I wanted them, but Blogger sucked half of them in in reverse order, and moving them around is a pain with this new editor.

Funny how improvements always seem to leave you worse off. Lots of lovely colour still to be found in your garden.

Wow! You have more lovely plants in bloom during the winter than we do in the summer.
