Blossom

Spring blooms

It's been quite a dreary start to Spring, with quite a lot of rain and windy days. Amid the grey skies and chilly mornings I found these beautiful blooms in the front garden. A lovely reminder that it is indeed Spring.

Daffodils

These are some more photos from the Mt Lofty Botanical Gardens when I went there back in Autumn. I took hundreds of photos there, so there'll be a backlog of them for awhile which I'll post spradically every now and again. It was such a wonderful day, wandering around the leaf-strewn paths and getting to photograph such vibrant flowers and plants, most of which are native to Australia.

Winter wonderland

When I walked outside to hang out my washing today, I was greeted by the loveliest sight. There were almond blossoms and bright red flowers littering the backyard. In the last throes of Winter, it's nice to see a hint of Spring to remind me it's just around the corner. The almond blossoms are the white with the softest hint of pastel pink while the red flowers (as usual I have no clue as to the name of the plant) are bright, crimson red and are growing all over the backyard. It's nice to add a touch of colour to an otherwise monotone green palate.

So first things first, here are the red flowers who are doing a lovely job adorning my backyard.











And here's the wonderfully subtle pink and white hues of the almond blossoms. It was such a pleasant treat on a Winter's afternoon.
