A few flowers from the garden in winter and spring.  The below flower attracts the bees, and this plant was shifted from the front garden to the back one, it's called ?rose and for the life of me can't think of it's name.  It has flowered all winter.

I've never grown tulips before this year I planted two colours red and yellow, the yellow hasn't come out as yet and it might not. We used to go to the tulip farm along the north west coast, you will find a post here of tulips grown there.

 At the edge of the Desert in Western Australia we went looking for Wildflowers near a place called Carnarvan in that State.  How delighted we were to come across the flowers that I'm showing.  Somewhere there is always a flower in bloom.  These were taken in the springtime.

 It's been a very long time since I've posted 'flowers', so I've collected a few from the archives to show you.  Most have all grown in our garden at some point in time, some are still.

Blooming time.  I just love these Sturt Desert Peas the native flower that grows wild in Western Australia and (few other place) where I took the photos a few years back.  They grow low on the ground somewhat like a runner, they certainly make the ground pretty.

I rather like Irises and once we had the colours that grew for a few years and now only the dark blue ones grow, the others have just disappeared.

The lavender with a bee grew beside the fishpond until the fish pond was removed so the lavender was disposed of.  We now have a very similar lavender in another area of the garden, we used to call the lavender 'Spanish Lavender' but these days it has some other name.
