These are the flowers we had in the garden in late spring 2014, on 15 November 2014. They're not all overly pretty, but the purpose of the photos is to record what was in the garden at the time.
I was surprised how many roses we had, but then, I was surprised this time last year too. But it seems that there are even more roses flowering here at the moment. Here an example of the same plant, first last year, then today:

But there are many that I didn't even photograph last year, presumably because they weren't interesting enough. The Iceberg rose on the south side of the verandah is blooming better than I've ever seen it before:

The best I can see from last year was this backdrop to the Echium pininana:

And the Echiums are much more in evidence:

We've decided not to take them with us. They could easily get out of control in the new property.
The Tree fern that Craig cut back so drastically has not taken it badly. Only two months ago it looked like this:
|
And now it's almost back to normal:
|
And the Fuchsia triphylla that looked so unhappy three months ago is on the road to recovery. Here in July, August and now:

|
Here are most, but not all, of the remaining flower photos I took: some were repetitive. They're all there on the photo pages around 15 November.
