From six Aquilegia or Columbine plant that I planted near the entrance front door 2 plants has yellow colours and this is another plant that has just started to flower, a mix of yellow and red.
This is definitely my favourite colour among other larkspur blooming in the garden. Other larkspur have started flowering for a few months now. But this one has started last week and climbing the trellis that was prepared for the bitter gourd. I am not sure how long the larkspur will continue to bloom but it will be nice to see it side by side with the beautiful foliage of bitter gourd later.
My white gazania has started to bloom now after I said to it don’t you envy the purple gazania over there that display so many flowers? Gazania is a perennial and this want has been growing here for more than a year now. As long as it is provided with full sun it will continue to bloom and bloom.
If you like yellow gazania visit Stephanie at Steph’s Green Space. This portulaca “mango sundial” is dedicated to Stephanie who wants to see what the colour looks like. It just starting to warm up here in Adelaide, day is warm but the night is still cold. So the portulaca has decided to bloom this week but just a bud for each plant.
My dahlia plant is less than 20cm tall and I did not realised it was already producing flower because it was living under the shadow of our pyrethrum.
Poppies oh poppies with different shade or combination of white , pink and red.
The carnation that we grow from stem cuts has also start to bloom this week.
The gerbera that I grow from division in early spring is also blooming. but I don’t know why one of the flowers has only half petals forming around the flower.
If you like to see more flowers visit Ewa blog and more pink colours visit How Sweet the Sound blog.
Your gazania is awesome KMKG! I wish I could grow mine as lush and as many blooms like yours.
ReplyDeleteOh your poppies... they are wonderful! Love your gerbera colour as well. Oh never mind about the half petals he he... the colour and flower is nice!
Enjoy the weekend.
You've got some gorgeous flowers~!!

Absolutely gorgeous! Welcome to Pink Saturday, Marcia
ReplyDeleteHi Diana, Your flowers are gorgeous. I really should grow more flowers. I saw your offer for pot marigold. Will be more than happy to accept your offer. I don't see your e-mail address here. If you are viewing the comment from your e-mail, you could click reply and it will go straight to my inbox. I can send you some seeds too if you are interested. But I doubt Lotus seeds work because there is no cross pollination.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are all beautiful! Wish I could take a stroll down your garden! The white gazania are really stunning! I think they really stands out among the greens and colourful blooms! The pink gerbera looks pretty even with half the petals missing!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful flowers...I love your columbine...our flowers are all bedded down for their winter nap....I am in my waiting for spring mode...
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday and welcome to our happy pink group!

Lovely colour to brighten my day when here things are hiding from the cold underground. Some of your flowers should cross pollinate and produce some new plants and new colours for you.
ReplyDeleteDo you think something like an earwig has nibbled at some of the petals on your gerbera when they were developing?
What gorgeous flowers, giving us now sunk in the depths of winter a fond memory of summer again. Great closeup photos, too. Love them.
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday, and welcome to your first week. I think you'll enjoy it here!
Welcome to Pink Saturday. How nice it is to see flowers when all of our spring color is now past... Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWow! Those are all so beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Pink Saturday. Beautiful flowers!!

ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous flowers for this lovely Pink Saturday! My senior mom would love to see this added to her gardening endeavors but I'm not sure they would work too well in our corner of the world. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I really love the first one...I've never seen it before!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is lovely. Thank you so much for sharing it with us! And welcome to Pink Saturday. I hope you will have a lovely time playing along with us.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Pink Saturday. Your flowers are beautiful. It is not evident that you are a novice - you are doing a great job. I especially love Columbines, too. I transplanted some from my mother-in-law's yard when we moved here. They are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and Happy PS

What a beautiful flower garden you have. I think the first one is my favorite, they are all so lovely.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good weekend.
Your flowers are fab and all the way from AU! Love the name Adelaide (may have it spelled wrong here) sounds so quaint -- please post pictures of town as you go along your future Pink Saturdays. I thought you'd been gardening all your life. Such dedication and such a good mom, I can tell. I'm in Louisiana near the Gulf of Mexico. I'm fairly new to Pink Saturday Welcome and Happy Thanksgiving. Blessings Terri - www.morningdewdrops.typepad.com

ReplyDeleteNovice gardener? I don't think so - looks like you have two green thumbs and a knack for growing both beautiful flowers and great veggies! Hope your little boys will enjoy their homegrown veggies..........I've been vegetarian for over 30 years, best way to go!
Hope the boys will be well and strong with their diet of good healthy food......can tell you are a very caring mommy!

ReplyDeleteHi - In reply to your message on my blog.
ReplyDeleteAdvice is to trap earwigs by placing upturned flower pots loosely stuffed with hay or straw on canes among plants being attacked.
Every morning shake out the pots and remove the earwigs and dispose of them however you wish. Besides causing damage to some types of plants earwigs do also eat many small insect pests so are sort of friends and foes.
Another tip is not to grow plants that seem to suffer from earwig damage near to fences.
The damage is done when the flower is in bud.
