foxgloves and iris

The front garden again, with a white Hebe, foxgloves, columbines and Iris'.

Buddha sitting under my Kangaroo Paws.

Kangaroo Paw

A yellow Kangaroo Paw. Not sure if I have already uploaded this one! Ho hum.

Iris, Rock Rose and Columbines

Another coloured Iris, with a Weeping Broom behind it.

"Black Boy" or Xanthoria

Native Grass tree is what it is usually called and this is my most special plant in the garden! It is a West Australian plant, although grows all over Australia, and this one, the spiky grassy plant in foreground, I grew from seed in Sheffield and then I transplanted it, which they don't like at all! I am hanging out for it to grow that trunk that the green tuft then sits on!

Next to it is a native iris, which isn't in flower, and the Pelagoniums in the background, also my Affirmation flags!!

Deep purple iris

Yum, another coloured Iris! The other view has a Pink Rock Rose behind it.

Californian Poppies and Pelargoniums

I just love the way these wonderful orange flowers spread all over the sloping garden.

The Pelargoniums are up the side of the house where it gets quite hot - see the weeping broom in the background?

Purple Penstamen

Isn't this just the most wonderful thing? A purple Penstemen, however you spell it!!

Falcon Street, Primrose Sands

A view of part of my front garden, with this wonderful yellow iris flowering as it has never before. Originally I brought it with me from Sheffield 7 years ago, and just had one flower at a time every year on it, but this year - boom! Plus little Columbines in front.
