Rain showers, doctor's appointment, helping son and his family to move house didn't allow me to roam far today. A short sunny break allowed me to get some long overdue photos of some of the plants that are flowering at home in this last week of summer.

That's a great collection of fantastic blooms. Loved all the Salvias. The Firewheel Tree flower is just amazing, and the natives are lovely. That Water Lily is brilliant too!
ReplyDeleteBernie, thank you for the comment.
ReplyDeleteI suppose we are lucky, in away, here in Sydney to be able to have a collection of plants from different climatic regions of the world. The native bees around here also love the Salvias. This is has been the best flowering display from the Firewheel Tree we have had, it may be due to all the rain we have had lately. The Water Lily is much better behaved than the 'hardy variety' I use to grow.
