TODAY'S FLOWERS are MY WORLD ~ Spring has Sprung


Spring came early this year, these Snowflakes flowered
early in July and are now just a memory . . .



now I have pots and pots of Hyacinths in all the colours of
the rainbow . . .


the Bridal Veil has burst into bloom and is spreading it's
gentle scent.


Viburnum burkwoodii has such a strong perfume that it
is best enjoyed at a short distance.


Prunus blossoms are a boon for the bees as the


Almond trees are shedding their snowy petals on the grass.


This last week I have been speed pruning my 150 roses and
having to do a great deal of tree surgery on them as they
have been totally neglected over last three years. I am stiff
and sore and am not quite half way there but with these late
blooms that I have just pruned off, how can I give up now?

    It is just so odd seeing spring flowers Arija when we are just going into Autumn. I wish I could smell them too.

    Exquisite flowers, Arija, and gorgeous captures as always! I wish it was spring arriving here rather than autumn, but every season has its own beauty! Hope your week goes well!

    Your springflowers are wonderful and what's more some of them will also appear in my garden next March, but first we have to face a hopefully not too severe winter.

    I have a clump of snow drops, but for us, spring is a long way away, So much snow, even a flurry in Auckland.

    Gorgeous flowers, and I can smell those fragrances from here.Now I am truly envious Arija. We are fast loosing daylight each day, just one of the many reminders that our seasons are leading into winter.
    I need you to sometime tell me what can do with my lovely rose hips.
