    Kleine Blüten zauberhaft,
    vom Sonnenlicht geweckt,
    zeigen dir, welche Kraft
    in ihren Wurzeln steckt.

    Enjoyed your loveley flower pictures.

    Such a pity that this year was a disaster for all the gardeners in Australia: it was either too dry and hot or too wet.

    My favourite is the freesia, with the raindrops. I like the angle of the petals, and the way they cast shadows on one another.
    I am so sorry to hear about the drought and all the damage it is doing to the gardens. That must be even harder to bear than our winters, as we know the winter will end and everything will survive.

    I love yellow roses. This yellow parade is very beautiful. I have only one yellow left so I intend to get a few this winter. In summer all my roses get a white fungus around the stems induced by the humidity. Underneath that fluffy white stuff is a sort of sap sucking aphid.It is very hard to get rid of and very annoying.

    This is really beautiful series of photos! I love those lovely and charming flowers of Amaryllis against the black background and yellow roses especially with water drops are really gorgeous.
