Spring flowers!

It is spring in the southern hemisphere and many plants and blooming in my garden! come and see!

The Roses, Queens of the garden are starting to bloom!

Parure D'or, a very fragrant and healthy rose that blooms no matter what

Parure D'or and unidentified hot pink climber

It can be grown as a climber or bush

Lady Banks rose

Louis de Funes

Double Delight

Eminence

Charles Aznavour

Tourmaline

Zamba

 Unidentified yellow roses

Unidentified climber

Here looking floppy after the rain

Peace/Gloria dei, this is a climber with huge flowers but unfortunately very prone to powdery mildew and blackspot

Superstar

Brown velvet

Unidentified climber rose, the red burgundy color is too complex and the camera doesn't not do full justice to it, it's gloriously fragrant but also very susceptible to humid related diseases.

Unidentified yellow climber

Pat Austin

A very reliable bloomer and very fast grower!

                                                                   Winchester Cathedral

First blooms of Pierre de Ronsard/Eden Rose,  new in my garden, I hope she fares well because I love the beauty of her flowers.

Unidentified once blooming climber, it's huge and have to prune it every summer.

My garden is essentially a rose garden but there are some other plants as well

My Rhododrendron is blooming but not as nicely as other years, it didn't like to be transplanted

My Dahlia has bloomed, it doesn't look like Purple Gem at all... but I like it anyways. I had never planted Dahlias before but I am amazed by how fast it grew and bloomed. I will plant more Dahlias next year.

My Wisteria has bloomed too but this is its only bloom, it has never bloomed profusely I think it lacks sunlight. Sun is a problem in my garden since all sunny areas are occupied with Roses!

¿What's blooming in your garden these days?

See you next time!

Springtime!

The spring begins today in the southern hemisphere! The unusually cold winter has finally exhaled its final breathe and with it came some nice warm days that brought plants back to life, Early spring (just like fall) is a brief but glorious time for planting and enjoying the garden to the full, the rest of the year is basically a prelude to or a recovery from the long scorching summer. I planted many new roses in winter (I wish I had more room for a few more roses!) I hope you enjoy the pictures of my spring plants!

My flowering peach tree epitomises spring

The first roses

The Lady banks rose, this is her second year in the garden

Camellias are still blooming

My only rhododendron doesn't look great this year, it was transplanted and seems to dislike the new place

Spirarea cantonensis

There is lots of Clivias blooming

 Magnolia Liliflora, unfortunately some bug ate most of its buds.

Enjoy Spring if you are in the southern hemisphere and embrace the beauty of fall if you live in the north!

Spring is just around the corner

Spring is almost here, this year the winter was unusually cold with many frosty nights and cloudy days, this strange occurrence gave me a little glimpse of what gardeners in colder climates experience every year: the plants halted their growth. Last yeat I had water lilies and hibiscus blooming in winter as I showed in previous entries, but this year there was nothing blooming, the cold made everything go dormant, now days are getting warmer and plants are slowly "waking up".

Clivia miniata is blooming now

Camellias

First Ranunculus blooms

The common peach trees are blooming too

See you next time!
