Spring is in the air!

We have had a really warm couple of days so far this week, both of which have been busy for me. While tired, I am quite happy as where I was working today had flowers galore. I normally wait for Friday but I’m excited because temperatures are warmer and plants are waking up again!

The first flowers of note were the Raphiolepis flowers-the plants were covered in them. They really do look amazing!

Flowering like there’s no tomorrow!

I’ve also come across a grevillea today. Grevilleas are always a favourite of mine, so I’ll always include them when I see them. I think that this is Grevillea ‘Peaches and Cream’, which is one of may favourite I think (but that may change, just based on which grevillea I see on any given day).

Across Sydney, rhododendrons are flowering like crazy, with the widest number of shades of pink I think I’ve ever seen-sometimes in the same garden! While the plants are rather dull, flowering time for rhododendrons is why they are grown.

Rhododendrons-the flowers make this plant for sure!

Those are my spring flowers for the day. Flowers like these always put a smile on my face, as they are showy and colourful.
