These are the flowers we had in the garden in mid-spring 2013 on 15 October 2013. They're not all overly pretty, but that's not the purpose: the purpose of the photos is to record what was in the garden at the time.
Things are very much getting into a routine, and since Yvonne is talking of moving house, we're not planting anything new. The garden is filling out, though, and we now have a veritable forest of Echium pininana to the south of the verandah:
|
The Echium candicans is now also flowering for the first time. It's unclear whether it will now die and self-seed, or whether it will continue for some years to come:
|
|
|
The Protea cynaroides that we planted at the same time as the Echium is also flowering nicely. This is the second bloom, which came up much faster than the first:
|
The flower is about 30 cm across.
The Paulownia kawakamii is also flowering more than usual:
|
|
It's a pity that we've gradually come to the conclusion that we don't like it very much.
The Rosa banksiae is now finally flowering profusely:
|
|
For some reason, it's mainly on the other side of the arch.
Here are most, but not all, of the other photos I took: some were repetitive. They're all there on the photo page for 15 October.
