These are the flowers we had in the garden in early summer 2015, mainly on 15 December 2015. They're not all overly pretty, but the purpose of the photos is to record what was in the garden at the time.
Before the irrigation system was installed, I watered the garden frequently with a garden sprinkler. I had thought it would be enough, but this spring and summer have been hot, dry and windy, and the plants haven't taken kindly to it. Now that we have the irrigation working, I'm hoping that the the garden will recover from its dried-up condition. And there are signs that it is doing so. The roses were looking very unhappy just a few days ago, but though there's only a single flower on the four bushes, there's new growth:

Some of the Hebes are coming good:

And one of the pelargoniums is flowering, still in a pot:

Despite Sasha's attention, the waterlily is flowering happily, more than it ever did in Kleins Road:

A dendrobium that we have had forever felt particularly unhappy in the shade area, but although it looks pretty dead at first sight, there are clear signs of new growth:

The oak seedling that we potted last month was not an unqualified success:

But it's deciduous, so losing leaves is not a problem in itself. Hopefully it'll recover next spring.
Here's the rest:
