A reminder that warmer weather is coming

August 22, 2012 by Jen

Good morning spring-shine. Day 226/366.

There’s still a couple of weeks of winter left but seeing things like blossoms on trees make me think of the warmer weather around the corner.

I’m glad I live in a place that has distinctive seasons.

Below are some more reminders of spring.

Hope springs eternal. Day 236/365.

New beginnings

November 9, 2008 by Jen

When I moved into my house I had to clear a lot of junk from the yard as a hoarder used to live here. Consequently there wasn’t much of a garden. All I really had was a grapevine and an orange tree. A lot’s happened in the ten years I’ve been living here and at this time of the year the fruits of my efforts come to the fore.

Part of the garden makeover involved planting two native frangipani trees which look glorious this time of the year with their small yellow flowers.

I have numerous bulbs too but they don’t always flower and this year everything has.

My bearded irises had taken a break for a couple of years.

And so had this plant, a red Hippeastrum.

While I was walking around my garden taking photos I noticed one lone hibiscus flower on one of the bushes.

Last but not least this cactus is having its first year flowering. A friend bought it for me quite a few years ago and I’ve never seen it flower before.
