Neglected Roses

My daughter does not like the roses in her garden - they have survived abject neglect for many years but still throw up some amazing blooms from time to time.

On the bud in the bottom picture you can see the infestation of bugs.

Sometimes plants don't mind neglect.

Hippeastrums

The Hippeastrums in my own garden have not flowered yet, and so far there are only two buds so I don't expect much this season.

Some in my garden have clearly died (we are not allowed to water our gardens because of the drought). The ones in the pots have survived.

These blooms are in my daughter's garden. She does nothing to them - how they have survived is a mystery.

More and more flowers in Spring

This fabulous show of larkspurs were in the Roma St Parklands, Brisbane. Fabulous show of colour.

More Blooms at Roma St

I will have to do some research to find the names of some of these flowers. They were all blooming in Roma St Parklands, in Brisbane, Queensland.

More Irises

In a walk through the Roma St Parklands (Brisbane Australia) I found some more irises. Slightly different to the ones I photographed earlier, but still fabulous around the lakes.

New camera - new photos!

I have a new camera - a Canon SLR and I'm having a wonderful time trying out using it. How wonderful that it is a digital camera and I can delete my "errors".
