Hampshire Lass - was that pic taken in Melbourne? Looks just like England. very pretty too.
Andy - those primroses are really shining out. Hampshire Lass - lovely to see a down under cottage garden
Forester2. Yes taken in Melbourne. We have four seasons here which I prefer although this summer has been really unkind to our gardens.
Thanks Chicky.
Hampshire L, is watering a problem in your very hot summers; is water v. expensive/rationed?
Busy Lizzie,
I think your bee might be a female Hairy Footed Flower Bee, Anthophora Plumipes. They are very fond of Lungwort
Fascinating MMeerkat - I'd not heard of this bee

We have lungwort in this garden; I shall keep my eyes open.
So pleased with my hellebores this year
Gorgeous chicky.
Thank you Magical Meerkat, I'm sure you are right.
Chicky, that is a beautiful double pink hellebore.
I took some photos yesterday, signs of spring.
Everything appears in reverse order. I wrote first, then uploaded the iris, finishing with the violas. Does anyone else find this happens?
