It is still officially Winter here in Melbourne.... however with only a little more than two weeks to the first day of Spring...dare I say the days seem already a little milder?! ( Touch wood!)
The garden, however is still looking fairly wintery, although the first early flowering bulbs and iris are here, so I do feel justified in thinking my favourite season is definitely on her way. Here are a few gifts in my Winter garden.
I love the delicacy and shape of the Pieris, a Winter lover. And look at that pretty touch of pink on the stem.
The Green Goddess lily flowers all year round.
The violets are there all year round too, but seem more prolific in the cooler months. I love their sweet pop of colour against their leaves.
But it's the buds on the plant behind these old pots that tells me.."Spring is coming!"
I have forgotten what this is called!! It has LONG upright spikes about a metre in length...this one will be purple. The bees go crazy for it! Can anyone remind me?
Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.. I am still browsing through Bead Soup.
