Lovely Pat. Someone was getting some rain in that second one!
Hope the weather's favourable for you scroggin. I hate to say it, but it was far too hot on Friday - lower down - even at that time of day. Fortunately, that doesn't happen too often
All the little orchids and wildflowers are appearing now too. They have a wonderful backdrop of the north east crags behind them
Sometimes the locals only just avoid getting stepped on!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
No Joyce, just our usual messy gravel and natural "rocky ground". she's still there and has moved a bit further over and eating the grass there, she has a bulging pouch that we can now see.
by the way that is my first Jonquil for the season, I only saw it today and nabbed it for the vase.

Fairy, that rain is in the direction of Canberra So they might have got some. Ill have to ask the kids.
Loved that little frog and the violet.
Heres some from today - on the hill behind the house - hence the rocky "ground".
various Grevilleas and an Iris - forget the new name they've changed it to.
Photo of a little roo outside the kitchen window just now - almost dark, but there must have been a little bit of grass just there.
Interesting sights from your window Pat. Is that frost on the ground?

You have grand plants I have little and lovely.
androsace lanuginosa
I saw these last year at GW live show and fell in love with them. Really small flowers with different coloured centers.
A lovely alpine the simplicity of the flowers is what attracted me. .

'You must have some bread with it me duck!'
Those flowers are gorgeous Iamweedy, they look almost waxy. Are they difficult to germinate and are the seeds readily available?
I dont know I bought the plants last year. I will try some but me and seeds don't get along.

I guess it might be best to propogate from rooting the rosettes.
