Spring at the Villa


These are the flowers showing themselves off in my sunny garden today.  This red one is a grevillea - native to Australia.


Not sure what this pretty yellow one is - another native Australian plant....


A pink diosma, very pretty at this time of year.  The feathery leaves smell beautiful when crushed...



Jasmine hanging over our back fence, filling the air with a heady perfume.... Max cut it back, but it is a very determined plant!



And brightening the shadows, a snowball plant...

  5. How beautifully exotic your spring time flowers seem to me way over here in North America. Full of heat and Australian sunshine. Enjoy the treasures, Beautiful Patti !
