This weekend, it was "too cold" and "too windy" to do much work in the garden. Those terms are in quotes because i'm sure some parts of the world would disagree that our weather is anything to complain about... But the wind was blowing, which makes getting rid of the leaves extra hard.
But I did get a chance to take few pretty pictures of plants. So instead of showing additional progress cleaning up, here are a few close ups!
 |
| grevillea lanigera in the front garden - actually blooming! |
 |
| I don't have very good luck taking in-focus pictures... |
 |
| this is grevillea juniperina in the back garden - it's a bit further along |
 |
| the flowers are just starting to unfurl |
Are these close ups because the rest of the garden is a mess? Maybe yes? Here's to a less windy weekend soon!
I find the small-flowered Grevilleas tough to photograph too. Yours look happy!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm trying to get the large-flowering ones to survive, so maybe i can get better pictures soon?
Delete'Cold' weather is definitely relative to where you live. The grevillias are lovely. Have been contemplating trying one in a pot. Wonder if they would overwinter in my cool garage?
ReplyDeletevery true! I was in the midwest for work this week, and it was 17 degF there! My only thought on the grevillias is that they bloom in the winter, so maybe a green house would be better?
DeleteYou made my eyes happy. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
