Ooh, Spring has Sprung!! Keep it up Roan to help us all through the Winter! (Bet there'll be less rain than in our summer though ) Our spring is forecast to be warmer and drier than usual and our summer is expected to be HOT!  Will keep you all posted on developments. |

Wuhoo!!! ;D I've got an azalea in flower - perhaps it's trying to keep company with all your spring flowers Roan! |

Wuhoo!!! ;D I've got an azalea in flower - perhaps it's trying to keep company with all your spring flowers Roan! That's neat! Our Azaleas tend to flower again in Autumn too! Mind you, with our balmy climate the plants get fooled sometimes! Maybe it's a sign that you are going to have a mild winter! |

Springtime! Lovely sunny day although there is some cloud around, temperature around 22C which is better than the 18C that was forecasted! We now have three Orchids in flower, this is out third one:  Over our back fence our neighbour has a Tulip Tree in full flower:  Our plum tree is competing with our neighbour's for blossom!  There is a nice bit of colour in our garden:    And a nice white Pelargonium:  And this tiny flower less than 1cm in diameter on our Apple scented Pelargonium:  |

Lovely photos Roan.... What is the yellow flower? That's a good question, one that one of our experts will have to answer. I just enjoy taking pictures of them and enjoying them as they are - naming them is not my forte! |

It's a mystery flower for the time being then! ;D I've got a few of those in my garden!

Toad lillies are kinda cute and interesting.  And morning glory; always refreshing. I'm not getting a lot of blooms this season though, as in past years.  And my favourites for this time of the year, just coming into their own. Chrysanthemums.  |

Suparuthie, thanks for your comments, I will try my best to cheer you up during your winter!
Torontotrini, nice pics, especially the Toad Lily!
Snowowl, you're welcome any time, we have plenty of room, so pack your bags and head on down. Alternatively, you can hop on the Tardis and take the grand tour later on.

Another beautiful day in Paradise, temperature around 25C, fine and sunny, although rather windy due to the Equinoxial winds. Our first rose is in flower, it is an old fashioned climbing rose that flowers spring and autumn and has a lovely scent.   |

What a lovely rose. If you have temps of 25C in the spring what sort of temps do you have in the summer Roan?
