So many Spring flowers, and so little time...


These Cliveas were flowering in my garden during September.   

More new flowers coming next week!

Camellia in pale pink

This camellia is the palest shade of pink. The petals are delicate and smooth.

Bright Pink Camellia

Another deep pink beauty. The thing I like about these flowers is that each flower is quite different, almost as if they have their own personality.

Camellia - pretty in pink

Pretty in pink - I think the best thing about Winter in Sydney is the camellias that are flowering. And maybe hot chocolate too!

Pale Pink Geranium

Geraniums are great plants - they flower most of the year in Sydney and are happy in a pot or a garden bed.

Gorgeous Gardenia Bud

Did you know that gardenias are members of the coffee plant family, Rubiaceae?  This is a gorgeous gardenia bud that I spotted in a local garden.  It’s less than a week away from the start of Winter in Sydney, and there are still gardenias flowering.

Golden Gazania

A golden Gazania - or African Daisy.  Not surprisingly these flowers are in the daisy plant family - Asteraceae.

Colourful Lantana

 

I don’t usually put Lantana on this blog. In Sydney Lantana can be an invasive weed and spread throughout bushland. But this colourful lantana, in a local garden caught my eye with it’s ombre colour scheme.
