Titania Everyday;
Everything in your garden is looking beautiful, Titania. I am very impatient now to return to Australia, so I don't miss out on too many Spring blooms in my own garden. It's nice to see what is out at the moment, though I think my small collection of hippeastrum is now in too much shade to flower like yours are doing. I especially love the pastel-coloured orchid.
ReplyDeleteMarisa, thank you for visiting. It is quite dry, we had a few raindrops; luckily Hippeastrums cope quite well with dry springs. Hope you find your garden flourishing when you return home.
