'Snowbird' There are flowers out there--best to go get some pics. I've been gardening, just barely. We've had a week of Santa Ana winds blowing stuff around. It's uncomfortable gardening in winds blowing dust and leaves into your face. It's blowing pretty good right now, but I'll brave it with camera in hand.
Arctotis 'Pink Sugar' just starting:
The little Aizoaceae continues:Aloe aculeata x cryptopoda opening. Each flower has slim green stripes and turns from orange to yellow as it opens. Blurred out Aloe striata in the background:Aloe aloodies just opening:Aloe 'Moonglow' and Aloe ferox (white variant) in full glory now:The waving, curving,undulating foliage of Drimia maritima is fresh and green in winter:Looking good overall now that the plants have finally filled in. All I had to do was wait. It only took years: Hellebores!
The pinks in Aeonium 'Mardi Gras' nicely echoed in the background Hellebores. Dumb luck on my part, yet again:'Wilson's Wonder' Leucadendron continues wonderful:Rhodanthemum in its wintertime beauty:The volunteer Verbena grew bigger thank to our Christmas week rain:Aloe marlothii candelabra emerging:Aloe van balenii finishing up. Dasylirion bloom stem emerging in the background. It will be 10 feet tall, at least:Aloe capitata x about to open up:The mistakenly purchased Gazania continues to bring joy. What a wonderful mistake I made buying them. If only all my mistakes were so good.
'The Ambridge Rose', of course:TB Iris, probably 'Frequent Flyer':Close up of Metrosideros 'Springfire', a valuable nectar source at this time of year. It flowers off and on as it sees fit:Time to clean up the Hydrangeas:Still a few nice "mopheads" looking down at the Hellebores:I pinched off a few flowers for the photo:Tall Pentas still looking good: Magnolia 'Royal Star' woke up. It was 80F today:Metrosideros 'Spring Fire':'Souvenir de la Malmaison'Another 'Springfire', the one in the back gully:Abutilon 'David's Choice'. David chose wisely:And Austin rose 'Bishop's Castle'There were more flowers than I expected.
