How does our garden grow...

Our garden grows very well thank you very much! No matter what time of year it is we always seem to have something blooming in our garden. We have just headed into spring here in the land down under and the had blossom trees have been going mad a few weeks all over town and they are about finished. The daffodils and jonquils are now going mad. Next up it will be our flowering plum and of course our pride and joy the Japanese Maple that graces our back yard which has just started to pop new green leaves all over the place. This is a good sign! Anyway, here are a couple of pictures of flowers from our garden. I will say one thing I vary rarely have to buy flowers for the house now and I usually have enough from the garden to put flowers in every room.

I bought these orange lilacs from the markets and planted them last year...



More jonquils and daffodils...



Another one which also includes a picture of the two hand-blown glass spinning tops we bought, also by local artist. We had the orange and blue one for a while and recently added the purple and white one after the artist made it up just for us.
