Round about this time last year I wrote a post about how disappointing your garden can be sometimes.

We've had a few inches of rain too so the grass is turning green
but look at these flowers!
The path to the front door looks lovely too.
Not to be outdone the Golden Lyre Grevillea is putting on a show too.
You win some, you lose some.
That's gardening for you.
This time we've had a win !!!
I'm linking up for Favourite Things Friday again today 'cos these pretty pink flowers are my favourite thing this week.
I love the golden plant, it reminds me of yellow bottle brushes. We have something similar here in England, but red.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty it all looks.
I'm so glad you have those glorious pink flowers this year. Huge comparison to last year. It must wonderful to come home to all that colour.

Beautiful! It's winter here so no flowers. So it is nice looking at yours.
ReplyDeleteStunning. Just look at all those flowers and the color. I haven't seen color like that in a few months. Just what I needed to brighten my day. Bring them on...
ReplyDeleteLove the flowers, Helsie, especially the grevillias. My budgies get a new branch every day...they love them. The honey eaters do too, don't they? I'm glad I dropped over for Favourite Things Friday.

ReplyDeleteOh,how your pictures of those beautiful blooms gladden a winter weary heart. I stand on my deck looking out at my winter beds, hoping and planning for spring. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty garden this year. Enjoy! Thanks for sharing, I'm ready for a spot of color in our garden.
ReplyDeleteI didn't cheat .. looks like you won this time!!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous plants I'd be too embarassed to show any pics of my front garden ....
ReplyDeleteYour gardens are looking fabulous this year Helen. Such a difference from last year. This year I have lots of frangipani blooming, last year I didn't have any.
ReplyDeleteThey are very spectacular. We are fighting the rat again for tomatoes this week and the hot weather.
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference a year makes...gorgeous. I love the grevillea...got to get one of those.
ReplyDeletehow beautiful the pinks are ... they must make you smile every day they're in bloom.
ReplyDeleteit's the yellows that make me want to reach out and touch them ... they are so interesting!
Very pretty, looks great!
ReplyDeleteLove, love the flowers! I love that golden plant too, it just pops the garden. Does it show up at night too?
ReplyDeleteYou've had some very strange and unseasonal weather up your way the last year. It seems to have helped and not hindered your garden!
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful. I dream of having such colour in my yard. Maybe if you keep posting stuff like this I'll get inspired to get off my butt and do something about that!
