Liliums

I have planted my bulbs.  Hopefully, the plants will grow quickly and I will soon have some bulbs like this!!   This is just the cover of the packet!!!!

Below is one of the bulbs just starting - about 2 inches high at this point.  They are pretty easy to grow!

My Hippeastrum

I have had my Hippeastrums for some years, and sadly they get neglected from time to time, but usually flower for me.

I am thrilled to see some strong buds pushing their way up.

You can see I don't have a garden as such - just some pots.    You can read some very interesting material about them here at Wikipedia. and here. 

The First Day of Spring - in Australia

I went for a stroll in the Caboolture Historical Village garden today and found some wonderful flowers in bloom.

I wonder why the orchids are all looking towards to ground. Perhaps they are tree orchids and should have been planted on the side of a tree - and high up.  

Wonderful to see on the first day of Spring, September 1st, 2015.

Roses at the Pioneer Women's Hall of Fame, Alice Springs

These blooms were at the Pioneer Women's Hall of Fame in Alice Springs when I visited in August, 2015.

More on the Tulips

The tulips are opening up.  Beautiful.

Tulips

I purchased a bunch of tulips yesterday.  To me it is a luxury - as money is tight with me, but I was tempted and gave in.
There were five white tulips in the  nuch fo just under $A10.  Not too bad!!!

I am very pleased with the photos!!!
