Here are two flowering bushes in my backyard. They both came from the same planting I brought with me from my previous house years ago. One has white flowers and the other has pink. I guess the soil changes their color?

this is the second blooming of roses in my garden this year. The apricot and peach died back, to be replaced by these Pink Eden roses....

My snap dragons have survived the winter ,this ones in the ground under my plum tree ,others were still blooming that are in pots Where my banksia roses are planted ,they were looking a little ragged from the winter winds so I cut them back.

There was / is a pumpkin vine that came up last summer in a little raised garden bed , from me burying veggie scraps in the garden
it’s still green …I’ve sorta never known a pumpkin vine to stay green all winter ..it’s under the peach tree
We don’t get frost …but it sure felt “frosty” this winter

Today, we had a surprise ! My Surprise Lily bloomed. I remember having these but it has been a long time since they actually came up and bloomed.
They show up in the spring and then disappear until they are ready to blossom, and then they just send up a shoot and have the blossoms and no leaves.

Taken on a nice sunny afternoon ( for a change )

Common succulents that are growing in most gardens around here , they put on a nice show in spring

I like and grow many aeoniums. Yours do look happy. I wonder if you find as I do that in too much sun and heat they just look burned out as they hunker down to wait for better times?

But here is time for the blooming of many African bulbs. My front border, like most of the neighborhood, is full of Naked Ladies but I'll wait until they are further along to post those.

Right now my Brunsvigias have the stage. I like these for the way their flowers form like a medusa's head.

The largest species, B. Josephine, is in a shadier spot and not so far along. It is one of the parents of all the others.

This is what the flower stalk looks like as it developed. Interesting how she many flower heads are packed in the original bud.

plants look unusual @MarkD, the plants/ flowers I added are about a km away from where I live ..I’ve never planted any of them even tho they look stunning in spring …I’d say they’ve been there for years, the whole front yard was covered in the same plant along with Agave

O boy, does that mean you're having some rain? Glory be!

Yep we haven’t had allot of rain …but it’s been enough to green the famers paddocks up , I’d be very doubtful about them harvesting any crops ( wheat / barley / lentils ) this year as the rains came to late
