My Spring Garden

You may have noticed that there have not been that many posts about food on my blog lately. It is because during this time of the year, my garden is in full bloom. I would rather spend my time in the garden and arranging flowers than in front of the stove. Also, I am too busy planting my kitchen garden. I will do another post about my kitchen garden soon. In the meantime, please enjoy my colorful garden.

Exuberant bougainvillaeas

Abundance of astromariam








Exotic bird of paradise


Snowball bush


Leptospermum (New Zealand Tea Tree)


Roses





 
Australian wax flower

 
 Pincushion protea

White Hydrangea


Martha Washington Geranium

    Hello Komali,
    I always love to see your flower decorations with those exotic flowers. Now when I see the abundance of pretty flowers in your garden, I understand, how you can make such wonderful bouquets. How is your vegetable garden growing? I am sure it is pretty, also.
    Best greetings and wish you lots of sun and a bit rain.

    I do not think I would have much time for cooking, either. A garden like this rakes mucho work. YOur flowers are absolutely beautiful. Wish I had one like yours.

    Happy Pink Saturday Komali Sweetie...
    Your gardens are so exquisite. I so enjoyed strolling along them today. I love that snowball bush, it took me back to when I was a child and my Grandma had one on the side of her house. It was so beautiful and I loved seeing all the snowballs. One year I counted 43.

    Your bird of paradise are so beautiful. I love seeing all the colors that form the bird shape. So pretty.

    And the roses so fragrant. My what large blooms you have. The colors, everything, just exquisite.

    Thank you for taking me strolling today. I so enjoyed the scents and the beauty that surrounded me.

    Many hugs and much love sweetie, Sherry
