TOMORROW IT IS WINTER
Tomorrow sees the first day of Winter for us Aussie girls.
Time to bring out all those Winter woolies.
Let us hope for some rain here in Victoria
as our water storage level is down to 26.3%.
This morning we have beautiful blue skies and sunshine.
Thought I would just stroll around the garden
and see what is still around.
Not a bunch of coconuts
but a bunch of lemons
Love the colour of this ajuga
Iceberg Rose
Iceberg Rose
The thrip are loving this rosebud
Pretty camellia

Pierre De Ronsard
I just love the shapes
Camellia bud with an ant on it
Primula by my back door
Hope you enjoyed checking my flowers before Winter comes visiting tomorrow

Alison, your winter garden looks lovely and inviting. I love primulas - they always look so cheery.
Bbrrrr.... can't believe tomorrow is the first day of winter. I'll be eagerly counting the days until spring blooms again.
Stay warm,
Kerryanne
Hi Alison!

Alison, thank you for visiting my blog and Pink Saturday. I am so glad it led me back here to you.
Your photos are fantastic. I am a true lover of blooms, too.

Wow, winter already? You have such gorgeous flowers and lemons still. How is that possible? Before winter here inthe states, we have autumn weather that pretty much sees all of the pretties wither away. I hope you have some rain soon. It is always fun changing seasons. You camelia is gorgeous, by the way. When I lived down south in NC I had a gorgeous bush full of that color camelias. Thank you for sharing your pretty garden.
How cool is it there right now?
Hugs,
Tammy
Thank for visiting my blog. Happy winter to you!

The ajuga takes my breath away. Happy Winter. We, of course, are edging our way into Summer, not one of my favorite seasons. I almost envy you.
I love all your flowers, Alison. Just can't get enough of that kind of beauty!
Have a wonderful day,
Kitty
Your flowers are so beautiful. Hard to believe winter is coming for you. We're having a very rainy week as we head into spring.
Your photographs are gorgeous Alison. It must be so different weather in Australia. When the first day of winter arrives, all of the flowers are dead. This garden is spectacular.
I love winter, but it is sad to say goodbye to flowers in the garden.
Karen
Hello from a very warm part of the world - your flowers are lovely and I too have icebergs and Pierre de Ronsard flowering.... but it's spring. xv
Hi Alison,
Can't believe it is your winter. It's fun to see your neck of the woods! Your garden is beautiful.
Please send all the cold weather you can spare over to us in Texas!!
;-)
Thank you for stopping by today. You brightened my day.

Such gorgeous images! Love your roses - beautiful.
Hope you did get some rain this weekend - we've had lots here in SA, thank goodness.
Beautiful photos! I do hope you get your rain, here near Seattle it seems like we get MORE than our fair share. I'd gladly send some your way if I could.
Hugs,

You have a beautiful range of roses in your garden. I wish mine looked like that. The lemons lok great too.
