Spring cleaning

On this first day of Spring the wattle have peaked and the scent of baby-powder fills the air. The timbre of bees is ever-present. Everything in the garden is bursting with colour and my favourite grevilleas are absolutely dazzling. I adore the variety that actually flowers on the branch - great fingerlings of grey foliage support the emergent feathery pink. Finally, the Queensland bottle tree, planted only five years ago is displaying a beautiful shade of crackled green. I love this time of year ....

It's a delight to read about spring discoveries when up here in the Northern Hemisphere the land is ripe and dying and there's harvesting and planning for winter. :-)
