This week it's again all about the flowers so no need for commentary. I will only say that I encourage every gardener to take photos of their garden. Now, smart phones have such fabulous cameras that that's all you need. Which makes it easy-peasy.
Gladiolus Nathalie. One of the showier of my species glads.
A simple Dutch iris but love that rich purple color.
Ixia variety. Ixias come in many colors. I call this one Hot Pink.
Calibrachoa Cabaret Diva Orange. Not orange but no matter. It's already smothered in flowers.
Protea family members, such as this Leucospermum Veldfire, are much in demand as cut flowers.
Ranunculus may not bloom for a very long period but the flowers often display intense color.
Daffodil Tahiti. One of my favorite Narcissus varieties.
Eriophylla Siskyou + Mimulus Jelly Bean Gold. Two profuse spring bloomers.
Tulipa hageri Little Beauty. One of the lower-growing species tulips.
Feraria crispa v. nortieri. I finally managed to get a golden flower off this species. Yea!
One last shot of my Tulip Vincent van Gogh as they start to fade. They were a big success story this year.
Babiana stricta hybrid. I love 'baboon flowers as these guys are called. From South Africa.
Another one of my Doubles Mix daffodils.
The real excitement round here this year was the Tulipa Tangerine Beauty flowers. They turned out much larger than anticipated and this glowing red color. Wow!
Another Doubles Mix daffodil, this one with packed inner petals.
Scilla Excelsior. Scillas are a great choice for the woodland garden.
Bulbine. Whether yellow or orange flowering, this succulent is a blooming machine!
Fuchsia variety. This guy began blooming early (January) and has kept on flowering.
Yellow Banksia rose. One of the most prolific bloomers of all climbing roses.
