These are the flowers we had in the garden in mid-winter 2023, taken mainly on 21 July 2023. They're not all overly pretty, but the purpose of the photos is to record what was in the garden at the time.
There's not much to see in the middle of winter, of course, though it's when the last rose of summer meets the first daffodil of spring:

To my disappointment, our Alyogyne huegelii has fallen over:

Looking at the remains, it seems that Bryan Ross has a hand in this one. He cut it back to the ground a couple of years ago, and it seems that only some of the weaker branches survived, but they weren't enough to support it. Maybe its time to replace it.
For some reason our lime tree has produced a large number of limes:

Unfortunately, they're almost completely dry. I should pay more attention to the irrigation.
The Abutilon that we grew from cuttings 2½ years ago is finally doing surprisingly well:

In the spring it wasn't, and I seriously thought it was going to die. This time I suspect too much water.
The Strelitzia reginae that has been here for as long as us is now looking happier, probably because of attention from gardeners:

Hopefully we'll see some flowers in the spring.
The Vinca minor that I had so carefully removed a couple of years ago are now back:

Given the difficulty of getting anything to survive here, I think I'll leave it.
We still have a solitary Grevillea in the driveway that hasn't died on us:
