A lot of the garden looks quite bleak at the moment, but there are little spots of colour here and there.
The first camellia flower:
This one is called "Yuletide".
I don't think there is any month when the abutilons don't have flowers:
Borage:
The first of the euphorbias to start the flowering process:
Not really flowering yet, but it is close.
Viburnum tinus:
Rosemary:
Jonquils:
Thryptomene:
Red hot pokers really only have buds at the moment:
Diggers speedwell:
seems to always have at least a few flowers.
Leucadendron:
Grevillea flowers which are also just buds, really:
My Limelight protea has survived!
It is past its best now, but at least it didn't get attacked by cockatoos. Here's a picture of it 11 days ago, when it was probably at its peak:
Although the purple hairy bits were a bit clumped due to rain that day.
Bergenia:
A hellebore flower!
Beautiful colour! This is "Duke of Burgundy", and it is the first flower it has had since it was planted last year. Another of the hellebores has heaps of buds, so there is more to look forward to.
Hebe:
And last of all, a collection of white flowers under my redbud tree:
Jonquils and anemones.
That's it for this monthly round-up.
