lots a flowers

Tis spring but I think the days will warm up to the point (around lunch time anyway) so the traditional flowers will fade really fast leaving the hardy natives to bloom and show off.....
This is a gorgeous callistemon called Perth Pink,its colour isn't showing up as bright as in real life but its so pretty,I plan to buy a few next year for the school garden as there is a dominance of red ones....
Tilly hiding and hoping she won't be roused on for trampling Mums plants(personally theres more weeds in there than anything nice )

Heres the other side with Tilly not budging a whisker,see what I mean with the weeds,that what happens with a busy job and five boys!

These Flag Iris are doing beautifully and hopefully I will be adding to the colours shortly,I would love to get some bi-colours and yellows,reds would also be great,just have to find somewhere to source some rhisomes!

This Convuluvious (not sure if thats how it spelt) Moon Flower is one common name,its a ground cover that at night the flowers nearly glow(for me anyway).The roos love them at school and I'm having a hard time getting to mature enough to put on a display. The leaves are silvery and covered with fine hairs so are fairly drought hardy.

This one is in my garden and only has the dog to contend with, though its mate is suffering, as I put it near the dogs favourite path into the fence where she used to converse with the neighbour Jack Russell(though I haven't seen him for a while,maybe he was getting too noisy for them as theres a new baby on the way)....

Heres the popular Kings Park Special bottlebrush,this tree is about three years old and is about to put on athe best show.It was squashed by the neighbour a couple of years ago and I had to cut it back to maintain its shape,he was cutting down a eucalypt and didn't ask us at the time otherwise we could have helped .That way the branch that fell on our side could have been handled differently...

This tree is a very easy one to grow and the colour is very bright,apparently it was a sport that was found in the Kings Park in Perth by gardeners,its parentage is not known or confirmed anyway.its the only red/pink that I look at when buying that colour for new plantings at work but at home I am adding different ones to put a bit of variety in.

I am waiting for the Western Glory to flower at present,it should be a deep dark pink...

This is the Pink Champayne that flowers all year round with the best show in spring but always has flowers to look at!The leaves I noticed go a bit prickly if it goes dry and I have tried to train all the natives to get their roots go down for water conservation (and cut the bills ) so I guess I am going to get used to those sharp bits!
I just love this Perth Pink......
