a wander through my garden
spring is truly just around the corner - I wandered around the garden today, just taking a few photos. I do love this time of year, even though the gorgeous blossoms give me hayfever - I would rather take the pills than miss out on this:
this is a manchurian pear that I planted about 2 years ago. through the branches you can see the view I have from my back verandah & kitchen window.
daphne - it has to be THE most exquisite perfume in the garden. I love gardenias and roses and frangipanis but the daphne, well I cannot describe the perfume. I have about 6 scattered around my garden and at this time of year, when you go outside the perfume is heavenly.
a view of my front yard - at this time of year, it looks a little bare but it is a haven. I have quite a few citrus trees, the lemon is quite heavily laden this year.
along one side of my home, we have planted an avenue of flowering plums.
we have a small inground pool & this is the water feature on the fence. Not quite finished yet, I am wanting to paint the wall a tuscan yellow, the lion's head fountain still needs to be hooked up & I have to replant the agaves (on the to do list this weekend). The pool is only a small one but wonderful to have on those hot summer days!

I can just smell the fragrance in my mind of all those flowers. Some of them so exotic they wouldn't stand a chance in my garden, unless I had a glasshouse. There's nothing like the nearess of Spring and making plans for the garden is there? Love and hugs xx
Oh Robyn I love to "walk" though your gorgeous Australian garden! It is so exotic for me that you can have agaves, gardenias, citrus plants etc. growing outside, it would all freeze to death here in our strong winters! I like your garden statues and you even have a small pool wow and that lion head fountain looks already fab!
You have a gorgeous garden! The smells must indeed be heavenly. I think looking out any window would be such a treat....little surprises everywhere.
Paridiso! Robin this is my ideal of peace and nature's serene beauty. You have captured a small piece of heaven and brought it earthward to your home place. I can smell the fragrances and the pool looks ready to float in...give me some of that delicious Australian shiraz and I am ready to melt away....Thanks for sharing sweetie!xxoo
Beautiful garden and yard, obviously cultivated with love and care.
what a lovely, lovely window in to your world. I can smell the gardenia (my fave) Thank you for sharing it.
I am having blogger issues with commenting, hope a bunch don't suddenly appear.
Lucky you.......renewal........ while here it will soon be time for rest.

Your garden is just too beautiful. Here it will soon be fall...the dying time. But, I love fall anyway. Without it, we couldn't have the renewal of our Spring. Thanks for sharing such beauty.
What a delightful garden you have and I've written down the name of the flowers called Daphne...never heard of those before and I've been wanting to get flowers with a nice scent to them:-) xoxo
I loved my visit at your home! Your garden is so pretty and I can close my eyes and smell all the wonderful scents.
What a peaceful world you have created. I need to get out in back and do some clean-up. Hope the heat dies away soon.
Lucky you with spring in the air! Fall is not quite wafting through yet, but I'm ready and waiting!!! I love all your flowers and your pool! How lovely.
What a beautiful yard you have !
Loved seeing around your place and thinking of you sitting there , picking pears of here, weeing you walk past that cute little old white gate with the "robin" blue top on it. Wonderful pix.
