The Garden in September (Part Two)

 Here's the rest of the things flowering at the moment, now that the camera battery is re-charged.

 

Red tulips:

One I missed in the vege garden yesterday, the blueberries:

And some chives, with what looks like a bonus little spider:

 

In the native garden we have this grevillea that I still haven't found the label of:

And this acacia that I should know the name of:

Along the driveway, this daisy bush is very popular with butterflies, hoverflies, and all sorts of tiny insects:

The melianthus will be popular with wattlebirds, but the flowers are only just at the beginning of opening at the moment:

The red hot pokers are feeding the wattlebirds at the moment, but I obviously forgot to take a photo of any of them.

Another daisy bush which attracts various small insects:

Treasure flowers, with bonus Australian painted lady butterfly:

The first of the garden geraniums to flower:

And some grape hyacinths still going:


I know I missed a few things, including snowflakes, freesias, leucodendrons, and maybe others. But I also noticed a few things in bud which will probably appear in future posts as they open.


Last one - a wildflower I noticed while we were out walking this afternoon. Not in our garden, or on our block, unfortunately. 

Pink bells, Tetratheca ciliata.

So much to delight. The blueberry flowers are so sweet, hope they result in juicy fruit.
