In the Shadehouse Garden, there are the beautiful perfumed blooms of the white Ginger, Hedychium coronarium ...
... along with the blooming cones of another Ginger, Costus productus,
... and the Ginger known as Globba winitii.
There was a surprise bloomer out in the tiered garden beds in front of the shadehouse. Completely out-of-season, the Hemerocallis 'Picotee Bubbles' has suddenly bloomed. I'm not sure why this is so. It's never happened before. Imagine my surprise when I spotted this yesterday!
In the same garden bed the last of the Lagerstroemia indica flowers are on show ...
... and there are still flowerheads appearing on the Callistemon 'Pink Champagne'.
Elsewhere on the property ...
I've been taken aback by the length of the flowering period for this patch of Cosmos sulphureus. They just keep on keeping on.
The Ixora 'Golden Ball', out in the driveway rock garden, is finally blooming and I just love the creamy yellow.
Mussaenda philippica 'Bangkok Rose' is coming to the end of another blooming cycle.
The various Pentas lanceolatas continue on, as they are all-year round bloomers.
Scutellaria suffretescens blooms in cycles all year round too. It's coming into another full bloom period.
The Golden Rain Tree has both yellow flowers and the peachy coloured bracts on it at the moment ... blooming and seeding all at the same time.
Out under the pergola next to the Courtyard Garden, I've spotted a couple of Jasminum officinale flowers. It's fantastic to see the climber coming back after its ordeal last year.
The delicate sweet perfume of the Fiddlewood blooms stills wafts around the courtyard ...
... and our native Sterculia quadrifida or Peanut Tree growing the middle of the courtyard is now flowering and dropping its leaves.
Out in the surrounding bushland the magnificent Melaleucas are blooming, and these stands on the hillside across from our place are quite noticeable with their brilliant creamy white flowers.
I'm joining Tootsie for her Fertilizer Friday / Flaunt Your Flowers meme.
Looking at your beautiful tropical garden and compare it to my spring garden; I believe we both enjoy what nature has to offer.

"Silently a flower blooms,
In silence it falls away;
Yet here now, at this moment, at this place,
The world of the flower, the whole of
the world is blooming.
This is the talk of the flower, the truth of the blossom:
The glory of eternal life is fully shining here."
- Zenkei Shibayama

ReplyDeletePink Tulips
Thanks Modern Mom. Your Tulips were fantastic.
DeleteYou have so much going on in your gardens... I am imagining sitting under the pergola smelling the jasmine :) I love your surprise-out-of-season bloom!! Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLibby, there's just a faint whiff of the Jasmine at the moment. I can't wait until there's a whole lot more flowers! Love that perfume.
DeleteLots of beautiful blooms in your garden. Love your marigold, I still have lots of them in my garden. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you, Suffia. I was very surprised just how long that Marigold has lasted. They usually don't make it through our wet season.

Appreciate your visit and lovely comment, thanks Nix.
DeleteI haven't visited your garden for a while Bernie, it's lovely to see your autumn, so different to ours! Loved your Globba winitii, but they are all beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Helene. Yes, our Autumn is vastly different to yours. I am looking forward to the next six months or so though. That's the time I enjoy the most out in my garden.
DeleteBeautiful garden! Thanks for sharing:) Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms in your garden, enjoy the weekend
ReplyDeleteYou're going to make me brush up on my latin, lol. Lovely flowers and I really like the common names of the trees. Golden Rain Tree sounds magical.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful plants. This planet of ours is really amazing - Autumn down under, Spring here where I live.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing your beautiful garden with us :)
ReplyDeleteI like your first picture a lot.
ReplyDeleteIt gives that mysterious & a wet look with those begonia and the ginger & the elephant ear.
And above all - a peek from the window to show another world out there.
Truly simple & stunning.
