The elusive sunlight shining through the leaves of the Cercis (Forest Pansy) is so hard to capture in a photo - but I'll keep trying.
Malus (Crab Apple) blossom fully open. What more could one ask for in a flowering tree - shape, compactness, attractive foliage, and the flowers are glorious - and the bees love them.
Cotinus (Smoke Bush)
I have a habit of always photographing the garden from the same places, so today I opted for some different views.
Banksia rose spilling over the back fence.
Flowering eucalypt, just outside the fence.
The open space between our garden and the next suburb.
Looking towards the house and vegetable garden area.
Fruit trees with grapevines beginning to show through the pickets.
The back yard.
Jasmine over the back gate and espaliered pear and apple trees, which do a wonderful job of protecting that wall (our bedroom) from the hot westerly sun.
The front garden - from ground level.
Never saw a flowering eucalypt before. Looks like your garden is really full of life.
ReplyDeleteJust wonderful.
Such sunny beautiful pictures! I love the crab apple blooms! I can almost smell them!
ReplyDeletelovely pictures
ReplyDeleteI wish it wasn't so far to come for a visit. I'd like nothing better than to see all this in person..and discuss all the different plants, while strolling around your beautiful garden.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see your yard and garden from different aspects. You have so many beautiful trees and shrubs. I'm imagining the sunlight shining throuhg the Cercis leaves...beautiful, I'm sure.
As are those crabapple blooms. They looks like little roses.
You're the reason I now have 2 lovely Abutilons. Yours is looking very lovely. My pink one bloomed abundantly on the front porch all summer, and indoors for most of the winter...not as abundantly, but each bloom was a beautiful gift.
Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour garden has always brightened my day.. thats for sure.
I still have to send the photo of that unknown plant. I haven't forgotten... my short term memory has though! lol
