    Andy - those primroses are really shining out.  Hampshire Lass - lovely to see a down under cottage gardenimage

  • 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 image

    We have lungwort in this garden; I shall keep my eyes open.

    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?
