GARDEN PARTY

Today Cielo from The House in the Roses is hosting a Garden Party.
Well it may be Summer for you but today it is a cold,
wet Winter’s Day for me in Mt Martha, Australia.
Here are a couple of photos I just took of the first bloom on
my Camellia that flowers in Winter.
See the raindrops on its petals


I have added some garden photos from throughout the year

I love your pink roses and camellias. So strange to think of you having winter when we have summer.

Hi Alison, Your garden is surely looking better than mine, I don't think I can put that down to different weather conditions! Your photos are lovely.
No I didn't go to the garage sale near you, I can't believe little Riley is having swimming lessons, just seems like yesterday he arrived into the world! I think your floor will be wonderful, well worth waiting for it to be finished if you have to...

Hi Allison, Love camellias. My Mom has one that blooms in the winter at Christmas. This year because our winter was so mild her bush was just covered in pink blossoms. So pretty! Have a beautiful day. ~ Lynn
