Spring has Sprung
It is Sunday morning, 12th September 2010 and I am up bright and early to go to the Portside Boutique Markets. It was such a beautiful spring morning, I took a wander around the yard and snapped some pictures of the botany.
 |
| Nicely mowed grass (1 1/2 hours on a ride on) |
 |
| My dwarf variety of Bowen mango is flowering |
 |
| Mum’s Rose has its first bloom |
 |
| Mum and Dad planted this climbing rose the last time they visited me before mum passed away. |
 |
| Flowering Rosemary (nice with a lamb roast) |
 |
| The grevillea are in full bloom and the native birds are in nectar heaven. I saw some little red headed finches and a pair of pale headed rosellas this morning. |
 |
| A few strawberries about to ripen. Yum! |
 |
| The grapes are dormant, although I noticed a few buds sneaking out while I was mowing. They are a variety called Chambourcin. Cultured to withstand high humidity and fungal disease. They produce a red wine. |
