Blossoms

 

Pink & Pretty

Something new to me in this wonderful new town and climate is Blossoms!  I adore them.  Spring is still very much in the air down here, I have to say, I am not missing that Queensland weather! 

If you followed the links in my last post you would have seen many of the gorgeous flowers around town that have been capturing my attention lately.  These pretty pink ones adorn my front yard, and I have roses that are heavy in bud I hope to share with you in the next couple of weeks.

I'm very home sick at the moment but Pretties like this still seem to make me smile everyday  :)

Hello Yellow

I have no idea what this flower is....it was here when we first bought our place as a scraggly half green and brown leafy plant.  We dug most of it up.  What a mistake that was.  When we moved into our place here it was middle of winter, everything was very brown and yuck and we were also in the middle of drought.

It is not until spring that this plant truly works its magic....it triples in size and is bursting with these bright yellow blooms, it continues to flower through out the spring and well into summer,  as these long stemmed flowers fall they re root where they drop so next season we get double, triple, quadruple the amount of plant. 

They make a great cut flower too...prettying up our kitchen table.

This is one flower that I do let my little girls pick anytime they like as there are just more and more ready to open the next day! 

This is an absolute spring delight!
