Our mid-Spring month will soon be drawing to a close, which means the dreaded Summer is not too far away now. I'm making sure I enjoy every minute of the springtime display at the moment while it lasts.
The pots of Asiatic and Oriental Lilies out in my Courtyard Garden look ffabulous right now.
I've chosen more pinks and whites this year.
There are also pots of Olde World Lilies, which are a cross between an Oriental and a Christmas Lily.
There have huge blooms.
One of the Asiatic Lilies I potted up last year has returned and putting on a great show out in the Shadehouse Garden.
The Hemerocallis Parade has begun out in the front tiered garden beds, and so far there have been appearances from ...
Hemerocallis 'Velvet Eyes'
Hemerocallis 'Archangel Eyes'
Hemerocallis 'Blackberry Jack'
and Hemerocallis 'Rue Madelaine'.
The Planchonia careya or Cocky Apples out in the surrounding bushland
and on our property are blooming as well. These fabulous flowers open
up around dusk ...
... and then have fallen the next morning. I'm finding the driveway littered with little blooms as I head off to work.
The Justicia are showing their plumes once again ...
... and the Brunfelsia latifolia or Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow Shrub is putting on its fabulous show of changing flowers. There are often three colours present on the shrub at the same time as the violet blooms, fade first to a lavender blue and then to white.
I'm joining Tootsie for
Fertilizer Friday / Flaunt Your Flowers
