The air is filled with the sweet smell of mimosa flowers. We have several trees near the house!

I've grown it some but as stingy as I am with water they don't flourish as they do for you.
I photographed some at the estate in Woodside known as FILOLI. I like the spots in the throat as in this one I found on the internet.

My wife cuts it and puts it in a glass next to the bed so she can enjoy the fragrance all night.Did you have to miss some sleep to get that photo? I know I did.

'Roguchi' Clematis has a small jewel like flower. Looks poised to have a large blooming this year for the first time in ages judging by all the buds.
In some photos of it it appears much more blue but mine has always been this rich purple.

Excited by this blue flowering New Zealand plant, Chatham Island Forget Me Not. The flower is fine but love the foliage.
But it isn't a forget me not, it's in the borage family. A friend gave me three seedlings. I've bought a planter for it near where I feed the dog and other plants which need regular water. Now if can just keep the slugs off it ...

Haven’t seen a flower from these flowers for at least two years after digging it up and dividing it. Taken early this morning. Brazilian Walking Iris.

Often a special moment. Some sort of double-yolk Rudbeckia?
